In May 2023, the Communal Council of Monaco approved plans to completely renovate Le Schuylkill at an estimated cost of €170 million. The modernised renovation, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, will change the current mix of offices and apartments to an all-residential configuration of 142 apartments, as well as entirely replacing the tower's façade. Construction is planned to start in March 2024, with completion estimated for 2028.{{cite news |url=https://lagazettedemonaco.com/en/news/immobilier/quatre-ans-de-travaux-pour-rehabiliter-le-schuylkill-en |title=The renovation of the “Schuylkill” will take four years |website=La Gazette de Monaco |date= 31 May 2023 |access-date=29 January 2024}}
