The place Saint-Honoré had for many years been occupied by a multi-storey car park. Recovery of the plaza involved its demolition and the construction of a 5-storey transparent office building in its place. The plaza was remodelled with new paving and urban furniture. Communication between the building and the district is established by a covered street that crosses it lengthwise.
