Airliner cabins are usually pressurised to 6-8,000 ft (1,800-2,400 m) elevation while the aircraft flies much higher. Concorde’s pressurisation was set to an altitude at the lower end of this range, 6000 feet.

The two independent and fully automatic air conditioning units provide a cabin altitude of 5,500 ft (1,600m) at flight level 590.

Concorde's pressurisation was set to an altitude at the lower end of this range, 6,000 feet (1,800 m).

Bottom line is 1700 or 1800m, Concorde did that 50 years ago...
