Spread across the northern Paris suburbs of Saint-Ouen, Saint-Denis, and L’Ile-Saint-Denis, the 81-acre venue is France's largest single-site construction project, costing approximately $1.85 billion.

Keeping the idea of sustainability in mind, after the Olympic and Paralympic Games conclude, the 82-building complex will be transformed into a mixed-use development, providing office space and affordable housing for 12,000 people.
