Tour Mirabeau, Multi-story urban building in Front de Seine, Paris, France
Tour Mirabeau is a modern residential and office building with an unusual triangular footprint, positioned at the intersection of three major streets near the Seine. The structure extends across 18 floors and stands at the southern edge of the Front de Seine development, directly overlooking the river.
This tower was completed in 1972 as part of a major waterfront redevelopment project in Paris. Its construction reflected the urban renewal vision that transformed the 15th arrondissement during that period.
The tower's three branches enclose a triangular island bounded by quai André-Citroën (no. 39), avenue Émile-Zola and rue de Javel, so its plan is set by the street junction rather than by a free-standing design. It has housed the head offices of Arcom and the BRGM, and several central administration directorates of the Ministry of Labour, including DAGEMO from 1990, DGT from 2002 and DARES from 2003.
The building is easily accessible from several major streets and sits directly along the Seine with good visibility from nearby bridges and pathways. Its southern location makes it a helpful reference point when exploring the waterfront area.
The building's unusual triangular shape resulted from a practical solution to the complex site where three streets converge. This geometric form makes it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the entire district.
