By defintion, a building (fr: immeuble) is made of floors stacked upon each other.
The Eiffel Tower is nothing like this. It has only 3 floors with huge gaps in between and some kind of experimental penthouse on top of the 3rd floor.
Of course, everybody loves the structure as an universal landmark, but it doesn't qualify as a skyscraper.
Most skyscrapers in Paris are at la Défense, full of offices and that district doesn't come close to the neighborhood of the Eiffel Tower in terms of real estate values.
