Lighthouse

I edited this part because it's not how the word is used here. I know "phare" can mean lighthouse in French but here it's not the case, probably the journalist that wrote this thing (and it ended here on wikipedia) has a limited understanding of the French language (won't be the first time, even respectable newspapers like the Washington Post have made translating mistakes in the past).

It is true that Phare, in the first place indeed translates as "lighthouse" when used alone yet it is also by extension the lights of a car (or trucks) or any vehicle. In essence, phare can just something that catch the attention among its peers up to the point to be an example or a model, something instantly noticable. Considering this tower is not a lighthouse this is the meaning employed here. You have a complete lists of the definitions of this word.

“

En appos. ou comme second élém. de subst. comp. Personne, objet, événement dont l'importance, l'influence, le rayonnement est considérable. Écrivain-phare, livre-phare, film-phare, ville-phare. L'homme-phare du combat pour la défense du consommateur. Celui qui, alors inconnu, s'attaqua à la puissante General Motors et la contraignit à retirer du marché un modèle de voiture considéré comme dangereux (L'Express, 2 oct. 1972, p.31, col. 1). Dans les années 1956, Palmiro Togliatti (...) théorise l'idée qu'il peut y avoir plusieurs centres du communisme et que Moscou n'est pas forcément le pays phare (Le Nouvel Observateur, 4 févr. 1974, p.33, col. 1):

As here "phare" is associated to "tour" (tower in that context) this is the proper meaning. Matthieu 15:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More info and project update would be nice

This article could use, say 200 words, more on any of several aspects:

What is the purpose of the building? Is it office space?

What about it is "green"?

Where, on a map, will it be built?

What's the progress, so far?

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
