Tour Super-Italie, Skyscraper at avenue d'Italie, 13th arrondissement of Paris, France
Tour Super-Italie is a cylindrical skyscraper on avenue d'Italie in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, rising 112 meters across 38 floors. It holds both residential apartments and office spaces, and its rounded shape makes it easy to spot from the surrounding streets.
Architect Maurice Novarina designed the tower, which was completed in 1974 as part of the Italie 13 urban renewal project. The area around avenue d'Italie was transformed during this period, with several towers going up to replace older low-rise blocks.
The entrance hall features copper artworks by Sabatier that date from the 1970s and are still in place today. They give a sense of how architects of that era thought about decorating large residential towers.
The tower stands close to Maison Blanche metro station, making it easy to reach from central Paris. Visitors exploring the area on foot will find shops and cafes nearby along avenue d'Italie.
On the 34th floor, residents have access to an outdoor pool and a solarium that look out over the city. This kind of rooftop facility is almost never found in Paris apartment towers.
