Edificio Torre Laguna, El Ejido, Mixed-use skyscraper in El Ejido, Spain.
Edificio Torre Laguna is a 105-metre, 30-storey tower in El Ejido with two basement levels, 119 apartments, 54 offices and commercial premises. It also houses a cafeteria and a panoramic restaurant, and its garage holds 275 vehicles.
Construction was planned for March 2005 but began in spring 2006. A legal dispute between builder Garasa Esñeco and developer Dórica halted work for over a year; in January 2009 a court ruled for Dórica, which took over and finished the building in early 2011. In 2019 Blackstone, through Aliseda, sold commercial units, garages and storage rooms; current owner Quasar Investments inherited the building from Banco Popular.
Torre Laguna is the third-tallest completed building in Andalusia, after Torre Sevilla and the Torres de Martiricos in Málaga, not the tallest in Almería province.

The building is easily reached by public transit and sits near shops and services in the city center. Visitors can view it from outside as it is a private residential and commercial property.
The building received recognition during its construction phase for advanced home automation technology integrated into its design. This technological distinction set it apart as an early example of smart building systems in Spain.
