That is difficult to estimate, but here are some considerations...

The tower of Babel was built somewhere between 2247 BC and 952 BC. [1]

Abraham was born and died between: approx 2000 B.C. and 1500 B.C. [2]

At age 175, Abraham dies and is buried in Macpelah [2]

so... to ballpark it...

If the Tower of Babel was finished being built in 1600 BC

and

If Abraham was born in 1750 BC and died in 1575 BC

then...

Abraham would have been 150 years old when the Tower of Babel was finished.
