F&F Tower, Office skyscraper in Panama City, Panama
The F&F Tower rises 242.9 meters high with 52 floors, featuring a spiral structure that rotates as it ascends through the banking district of Panama City.
Construction of this modern building began in 2008 under the supervision of Pinzon Lozano & Asociados Arquitectos and reached completion in 2011, marking Panama's architectural advancement.
The tower received local nicknames such as 'The Corkscrew' from Panama City residents due to its helical shape that stands out in the urban landscape.
The building contains 60,753 square meters of office space divided across multiple floors, with four small balconies on each level providing outdoor access.
The architects integrated the tower's foundation with an existing gas station's underground wells, demonstrating technical innovation within a restricted construction site.

Contemporary skyscrapers push the boundaries of vertical architecture with structures that challenge gravity through rotations, twists, and spirals. These buildings reflect advances in structural engineering and allow for residential, commercial, and cultural structures with facades that sometimes rotate 90 degrees from base to top. The Cayan Tower in Dubai stands out with its 1,014-foot height and a full rotation across 73 floors, while the Shanghai Tower reaches 2,073 feet thanks to a twisted shape that reduces wind pressure. These structures can be found worldwide. The Absolute World Towers in Mississauga, Canada, feature wavy designs that earned them the nickname Marilyn Monroe Towers. In Prague, the Dancing House impresses with its curved glass walls contrasting with surrounding historic architecture. The Soumaya Museum in Mexico City displays an asymmetric form covered with thousands of hexagonal aluminum panels. The Lakhta Tower in Saint Petersburg and Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi complete this international selection, illustrating how contemporary architects transform city skylines through engineering feats that combine aesthetics with structural performance.
