Le Formentor, Residential tower in Larvotto, Monaco
Le Formentor is a 27-storey, 78-metre residential tower at 27 Avenue Princesse Grace in the Larvotto district of Monaco. Completed in 1981 by the Monegasque firm J. B. Pastor et fils, it is built in concrete in the modernist style. The building also houses the Monaco Modern'Art gallery and the consulate of Uruguay.
The building was completed in 1981 during Monaco's period of expansion and constructed by J.B. Pastor et fils. This development represented the principality's effort to create modern housing stock.
The building houses an art gallery and a consulate, bringing cultural and diplomatic activities to the neighborhood. These institutions reflect the international character that marks this part of Monte Carlo.
Le Formentor stands at 27 Avenue Princesse Grace in Larvotto, not in Monte Carlo. The building holds the offices of Groupe Pastor, which owns it, and the consulate of Uruguay, so visitors should look for these tenants rather than a public entrance hall. Monaco Modern'Art, the gallery inside, is the part most accessible to outsiders.
Victor Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol, kept apartment 1E in the building, and tennis player Novak Djokovic has also been reported as an owner. The Groupe Pastor, which owns Le Formentor, has its offices on site.
