Tour Obélisque

Tour Obélisque is a concrete residential tower in Épinay-sur-Seine holding 164 apartments spread across multiple floors, with continuous balconies running along three of its outer walls. The building has four elevators and sits in the Orgemont district at 2-4 place d'Oberürsel, close to public transport and shops.

This structure was built between 1970 and 1973 as a premium housing project meant to rival the Front de Seine towers in Paris. By 2010, it had faced mounting maintenance and financial troubles that required judicial administration to address.

The tower reflects 1970s design thinking, when large residential structures began appearing around Paris to house a growing population. Today it shapes the skyline of Épinay-sur-Seine and shows how builders of that era approached creating homes for thousands of people.

The building is accessible through four elevators that connect multiple floors for anyone entering the space. Its position near public transport stops and local businesses makes it easy to reach and explore the surrounding area.

The building was originally conceived as a premium housing venture offering upper-class living to Parisians seeking modern apartments. Its design reveals how architects of that era attempted to elevate everyday city living into something more desirable.
