Tour CB21, Modernist skyscraper in La Défense, France
The Tour Gan building stretches across 44 floors with a height of 179 meters and features a distinctive Greek cross shape in its architectural design.
Constructed between 1972 and 1974, the tower emerged as the second tallest structure in Paris during that period, despite local opposition to its planned height.
The building exemplifies the architectural transformation of Paris outskirts in the 1970s, marking the establishment of La Défense as a financial center.
The skyscraper contains 70,500 square meters of office space and houses multiple international corporations, with direct access to public transportation networks.
The structure underwent a complete external renovation in 2010, receiving new cladding that enhanced both its visual appearance and energy performance.
