Tour Granite stands in La Défense, in Nanterre west of Paris, and was designed by the French architect Christian de Portzamparc. The Société Générale banking group ordered it to add office space beside its twin towers. The article gives no start date, style or materials. It was completed in 2008 and opened in December 2008.
The tower is 183 m (600 feet) tall, with 35 floors and 67,740 square meters of floor area. A sharply inclined roof gives it a distinctive profile. It has 15 lifts and is the fifth tallest building in La Défense.
The article gives no cost, owner or public access details. As a bank office tower, it is generally a working building rather than a visitor attraction.
