Context: 

The location, configuration, and anticipated opening date of the ICC Hearing Center in Paris have all been revealed by ICC. The ICC Hearing Centre is being built on Rue Legendre in a quiet neighborhood of the 17th arrondissement. It is easily accessible from the city’s train and airport terminals and is close to the Cité judiciaire and big Parisian law offices. With two sets of hearing and breakout rooms on one floor and the potential to add a third to accommodate overflow, the ICC Hearing Center will be one story long. The cutting-edge facilities are set up to offer first-rate services for in-person, hybrid, and virtual hearings in terms of productivity, technology, privacy, ease of use, and general comfort. “Providing excellent service to all arbitration and ADR hearings out of Paris, regardless of their institutional setting, has long been our objective, and we are delighted that the perfect home for our new Hearing Center is now being constructed,” stated Alexander G. Fessas, Secretary General of the ICC International Court of Arbitration and Director of ICC Dispute Resolution Services. In the fall of 2024, we can’t wait to see our guests again. A five-star boutique hotel, a restaurant, a café, a fitness center, roof terraces, and more office spaces will all be located on the same property as the ICC Hearing Center. Groupe Galia is doing the development on it.
