The aim of this development was to create a focus of attention in this area of the city, located in a residential area 1.5 km from the centre. A semi-covered shopping street is the base on which the blocks for housing and offices are built. The public space is formed by pedestrian passageways and a scenic riverside. The action of densification foreseen in its day contrasts with the intervention carried out recently in the neighbouring plot, where the change in criteria regarding land occupan.

The project for this mixed-use tower block aimed to rebuild an urban space destroyed by the 1943 bombing. The town planning regulations of the time foresaw a low-rise office building which was to occupy the whole plot. The BBPR decision was to allocate part of the plot as public space, add a small volume incorporating accesses and retail and build 28 levels.

Following the demolition of the constructions and the recovery of the setting as a nature park, the road network was adapted for limited visitor circulation. The main road (2 km) was reduced to a single 3.5 metre section and was uniformly resurfaced with asphalt. Only two roads which divided the beach have been taken up and replaced by one single road further away.

The section type of the reused road comprises two steel lateral profiles between which the asphalt surfacing is laid out..
