Tour Défense 2000, Residential skyscraper in La Défense district, Puteaux, France.
Tour Défense 2000 is a residential tower rising 47 floors and 134 meters, containing 370 apartments for various household sizes. Apartments range from 19 to 140 square meters and are served by eight elevators to reach all levels.
Construction began in April 1971 and was completed in November 1974, marking a significant phase of high-rise residential development in France. The project was part of the broader transformation of La Défense into a modern business center with housing elements.
The tower reflects how residential living adapted to modern high-rise design in Paris, housing people from different walks of life within a business district. Its position sits between the hustle of commerce and quieter neighborhood living.
The tower sits at the edge of the business district, making it easy to move between busy areas and quieter surroundings. Visitors should know that this is primarily a private residential building accessible by public streets but not designed for casual foot traffic.
Unlike other towers in La Défense, this building sits somewhat apart and offers residents panoramic views across Paris and the surrounding metropolis. This separation gives it a different character from the tightly clustered office towers nearby.
