Tour Oxygène

Lyon

Tour Oxygène is an office skyscraper in Lyon, built on the land known as lot R, an extension of the Cours Oxygène shopping center. The project is located near the Part-Dieu train station and the Part-Dieu shopping center. It includes an IGH W2-classified office tower rising 115 metres, as well as an underground parking facility with 495 spaces. With this height, the tower is the fifth tallest in Lyon and is lower than Tour Part-Dieu and Tour Incity. The tower faces Tour Suisse.

The project was promoted by Sogelym Steiner and Europequipements, and construction was carried out by GFC Construction and Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France. Although the project does not have HQE certification, it follows an HQE approach. Construction planning called for one floor every four days. The site also used two types of cranes, Potain MD 365 B L16 and MDT 222 J12, together with two MR 225A foldable jib cranes, due to its proximity to the shopping center.
