Immeuble Cantini

The Cantini building, constructed in a primarily industrial area of the Rouet district, reflects the urban transformation initiated by the 1949 Urban Planning Master Plan, which introduced the eastern highway to Avenue Cantini. At the time, the eastern train station was still a freight hub, no longer connected to the port via the transloader and tunnel. Over the subsequent fifty years, residential structures proliferated along the right bank of the avenue due to an industrial decline. In 1952, the LOGECO funding program was established to promote standardized private housing construction, facilitating the development of the Cantini building.
