Tour Alto is an office skyscraper in Courbevoie, in La Défense, the business district of the Paris metropolitan area.The tower was built in 2020 by Bouygues. The building is 160 m (520 ft) from the street and 150 m from the slab of La Défense on its eastern facade alone for a total of 38 floors. Its rounded shape gradually widens upwards and extends its hold in space by an offset of 12cm towards the outside of the edge beam, on each floor. Thanks to this singular shape, the surface of the levels goes from 700 m2 at the foot of the Tower to 1,500 m2 at the top.Work began in September 2016 for delivery in 2020.

Tour Generali

Tour Generali (English: Generali Tower) was a skyscraper planned for construction in the business quarter of La Défense in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine, France). (Note that Generali also owns another prominent high-rise building on Avenue Louise in Brussels, which is also known locally as the "Tour Generali".) The project was officially initiated on 18 October 2006 and is being built for Italian insurance company Assicurazioni Generali. Part of the modernisation of La Défense, the project is being constructed by Vinci on the old site of the Iris building, which was completed in 1983. Tour Generali would have an estimated height of 319 meters (1100 feet) from ground level, at a total cost estimate of 500 million euros. The building would have had 400m² of PV cells, 800m² of solar panels and 18 axial wind turbines on site to produce energy. Other environmental initiatives being taken in the project include mixed-mode ventilation with night purging, use of thermal mass, district heating/cooling and multi-service chilled beams (e.g. ventilation, cooling heating and lighting). This building was to be constructed as a "green" building, and would have include a wind turbines in its spire, solar panels, and other environmentally friendly elements. The main entrance of the tower would have been at the 6th level of the tower along the elevated esplanade/promenade, which rises 18 metres above ground level. The Tour Generali had undergone a redesign and was shortened to 265m, which meant it would have longer held the title of the tallest building in the European Union. The project was cancelled in 2011.
