Residential Intempo, Residential skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain.
The Residential Intempo consists of two slender towers joined by a cone-shaped section between the 38th and 44th stories. The glass and reinforced concrete facade reflects Mediterranean light and shifts in appearance throughout the day.
Construction began in 2007 and was interrupted by the 2008 financial crisis for more than a decade. Completion came only in 2021 after new investors revived the project.
The building design, with its parallel towers and connecting structure, creates a silhouette resembling both the number 11 and the letter M in the Benidorm skyline.
The building stands on Avenida de Colombia in the Murtal area, known as Vía Parque, about 500 metres in a straight line from Poniente Beach. Its plot covers 12,879 m², of which the towers occupy 6,442 m². The two towers are separated by a 20-metre gap, and the side walls are exposed concrete with only a small bathroom-ventilation window per floor.
After completion in 2021 a new floor slab raised the height to 202.5 m, pending CTBUH approval; the earlier figure was 187 m. The frontal view, vaguely resembling the number 11 and the letter M, has led commentators to speculate about a possible reference to the 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks.
