The building —which reaches 106 m in height over Street level— is located on a city lot in the isthmus which geographically defines the city and is made up by two well differentiated bodies: a) a 5-storey block of offices and business premises, which covers the lot from dividing wall to dividing wall; b) a tower of apartments, with 24 floors and 3 apartments per floor. It also has two basement floors for parking and a ground floor for businesses. It is a singular construction for several reasons, among which emphasis must be given to its original structure a pioneer in Spain, as well as to the arrangement of the apartments —all facing the outside— and the exterior treatment with prefabricated pieces of white concrete.
