Zaveltoren, Modern skyscraper in Pentagon, Belgium.
The Zaveltoren rises to 80 meters with 27 floors, displaying strong vertical lines and rectangular shapes characteristic of 1960s office buildings.
Built in 1968, the tower stands on the former site of the first Maison du Peuple, a significant building designed by architect Victor Horta in 1899.
The building represents the architectural changes in Brussels during the 1960s, when many historical structures were replaced by contemporary office towers.
Located at 7 Rue Joseph Stevens, the tower provides office spaces near public transportation and sits within walking distance of Grand Place.
The structure carries three different names: Tour du Sablon in French, Zaveltoren in Dutch, and Tour Sablon in German, reflecting Belgium's multilingual nature.
