Nobel Tower, or La Tour Nobel, was completed in 1966 inside the quarter in Paris known as La Défense. It was the first office building consrtructed in the area, and presented a unique challenge, as it used a curved glass not available in France, and thus all of the glass for the facade was imported from America.
Rising 105 meters, with 30 floors, the Nobel Tower was constructed by Jean de Mailly, Jacques Depussé, with help from the famous engineer Jean Prouvé. In 1988, the tower was given an internal rennovation, and the new name of la Tour Initiale. As of 2003, it stands empty.
