Jacques Saadé decided to come to Marseille where he founded CMA in 1978 and located the office in a building on Boulevard Mirabeau.
With the CMA CGM Group growing, Jacques Saadé had another building constructed very close to the first one, though even it soon turned out to be too small.
So, to further show his attachment to the city, Jacques Saadé decided to build a new Head Office in the surroundings in Marseille in 2004, the CMA CGM Tower. It opened its doors to its 2,400 employees in January, 2011, and became the centre for strategic decision-making for CMA CGM Group.
