The TF1 Tower (Tour TF1) is a tower used as a head office by the French television channel TF1, and several subsidiaries of the TF1 group. Its height is 59 meters, and has 14 floors and a net floor area of 45,000 square meters.[1] This building, in which the channel moved in on 1 June 1992 (it previously occupied the premises at 13-15 rue Cognacq-Jay), was built by Bouygues on the plans of architect Roger Saubot. It is located at the corner of the Quai du Point-du-jour and Avenue Le-Jour-se-lève, in the Point-du-Jour district of Boulogne-Billancourt, in the Hauts-de-Seine region. The building consists of a cylinder covered with reflective glass and forms a complex with an adjoining 9-story building called the Delta.[2]

Its construction was decided under the terms of a delegated project management agreement dated 20 March 1991,[3] authorized by the Board of Directors on 11 April 1991. It was invoiced 37.1 million francs for the 1991 fiscal year, then 18.8 million francs for the 1992 fiscal year.[3] TF1 leased the building in June 1994 from GIE Aphélie; the 15-year contract, which covered FRF 1,080 million (or €164.6 million[3]) excluding financial expenses, allowed TF1 to acquire the property in the seventh year (or from 30 June 2001[3]) at its net book value. This lease replaced a 12-year commercial lease with Gan.[3] The tower was climbed with bare hands by Alain Robert in 1995.[4]

According to Renaud Revel and Henri Haguet, this new headquarters is symbolic of an ideological shift in the channel, more focused on productivity.[5] TF1 also uses it as a display medium, through its subsidiary TF1 Hors Média created in 2005; however, the surface area used was reduced at the request of the Boulogne-Billancourt town hall.[6] The management offices are located on the top floor.[7] A webcam is located at the top of the tower, used for broadcasting images of Paris in real time on the channel's website, as well as in the channel's news.[8]

It appears on the covers of two books criticizing the channel: TF1, une expérience, and Madame, monsieur, bonsoir, released in 2006 and 2007 respectively, and using the same photograph.[9] The tower also appeared ten years earlier in 1997 on the cover of another pamphlet: TF1, un pouvoir, by Pierre Péan and Christophe Nick.[10]
