Alto, a one-of-a-kind tower

3 minutes of reading
The Tour Alto is one of many prestigious high-rise buildings erected in La Défense and in other French cities.
The Tour Alto project contributes to the renovation of the Saisons neighbourhood of La Défense, and as such plays a part in the redevelopment and transformation of urban areas more broadly. Designed by agency IF Architectes, the Tour Alto, at 150 metres high, will offer 38 storeys of top-of-the-range offices over a total surface area of 51,000 m². Adorned with glass flakes, its façade will set it apart from similar buildings. Its unique shape flares upwards, with varying surface areas ranging from 700 m² at the bottom of the building to 1,500 m² at the top. In addition to its innovative shape, the Tour Alto will be highly energy-efficient with its insulating double-layer façade. It will therefore be awarded HQE® “exceptional”, Wellcore shell “silver” and BREEAM® “outstanding” certifications, a first for a tower!

Bouygues Construction is renowned for its ability to manage large-scale office projects, including most recently the Paris district court, which is the first high-rise building to take shape in the heart of Paris since the Tour Montparnasse. Many buildings have also been built by the Group : the Engie, Cœur Défense and Exaltis towers at La Défense, Sequana at Issy-les-Moulineaux, and the Incity and Oxygène towers in Lyon. These projects require a great deal of planning in order to manage the specificities they encompass and to ensure that the major resources required for their construction are available.
