Executive Tower, Presidential office building in Plaza Independencia, Montevideo, Uruguay
The Executive Tower rises 56 meters with reinforced concrete construction, featuring twelve floors divided into north and south sections facing Plaza Independencia and Rambla respectively.
Initial construction plans from 1965 for a Palace of Justice halted during the 1973 coup, leading to project modifications and completion as presidential offices in 2009.
The Executive Tower combines modern architectural principles with Art Nouveau elements, representing Uruguay's evolution in governmental infrastructure and administrative centralization.
The building contains twelve elevators and houses multiple government departments, including the Presidency, Office of Planning and Budget, and National Civil Service Office.
The structure belongs to Legader S.A., a government corporation that leases spaces to various organizations, making it both a presidential workplace and multi-purpose administrative center.
