Completed in 2012 in Bilbao, Spain, the Iberdrola Tower is a 165-metre office skyscraper designed by César Pelli that stands as the tallest building in both the Basque Country and the city. Its 40 floors were constructed to serve as headquarters for the energy company Iberdrola, with an initially planned hotel occupying the first eight floors—a scheme that was later abandoned. Inaugurated by King Juan Carlos I in February 2012, the tower rises in the Abandoibarra district, a revitalized former industrial zone along the Nervión river that has become home to other major landmarks including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Euskalduna Conference Centre. The building is flanked by two residential structures designed by Carles Ferrater, with its entrance accessed through the Euskadi Plaza. It ranks as Spain's ninth tallest building.
