The Unité d'habitation of Nantes-Rezé is an apartment building located in Rezé, a suburb of Nantes, France designed by Le Corbusier. It contains 294 units, and was completed in 1955. It is part of the housing concept of Unité d'habitation. The building contains a school at the top level, but unlike the Unité d'habitation of Marseille, it does not contain a retail level. It has been listed as a monument historique since 2001.[1] The building was designed to sit in the landscape of water and trees without any loss of agricultural land.
