Tour Paradis (pronounced [tuʁ paʁadi], Paradise Tower), also commonly named Tour des Finances de Liège (French pronunciation: [tuʁ de finɑ̃s də ljɛʒ], Financial Tower of Liège), is a 136-metre office skyscraper located in the Guillemins area of Liège, Belgium. Designed by Jaspers-Eyers Architects, i.s.m.[1] and Bureau d'Architecture, Greisch cvba,[2] it was constructed from 2012 to 2014. With the tower hosting 27 floors, it is the tallest skyscraper in Wallonia and the sixth tallest in Belgium.
Following the building's inauguration in 2015, it became the workplace of more than 1,000 employees from the Belgian Federal Pensions Service (FPS), and is thus also called Le Centre de Finances. In 2022, it was announced in the media that the tower was underoccupied due to the generalization of homeworking that started during the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium.[3]
