About Us
About Us
In 1974, on the fifty-sixth floor of Paris’s Montparnasse Tower, the M56 Group was born.
Formed in 1974 in Paris at Montparnasse Tower, M56 Group attractions welcome over 3 million visitors every year and offer the best views and unique experiences from the top of iconic cities. In 2020, this family-owned French group brought its sites in Paris, Berlin Chicago, and Rotterdam together under one new global brand: Magnicity.
Why? Because it described what millions of guests at our towers already felt. Magnicity puts them atop the highest points above the world’s most iconic cities and gives them more.
More than a view
Guests at Magnicity properties don’t just see our cities, they learn their history and values, experience their cultures firsthand, and take part in an unmatched level of authenticity that gets them excited to see more.

Our values:
- Professionalism with Passion
- Care for All
- Agility as a Mindset
