Tour Sequoia is an office skyscraper in the La Défense business district, in Puteaux, just west of Paris, France. Construction started in 1989 and was completed in 1990. The architects were Nicolas Ayoub, Michel Andrault and Pierre Parat. It is 119 meters tall, with 33 floors and a floor area of 55,000 square meters.
The source describes it as the first tower in the business district built with a semi-circular design. It marks the transition between the third and fourth generations of La Défense buildings. Its semi-circular design later inspired other towers, including the CBC, Kupka, Pacific, the Société Générale twin towers and Tour CBX.
It was built near the CNIT and the Grande Arche. Its former names are Tour Bull, Tour SFR and Tour Cegetel.
