Immeuble CAISTAB, Functionalist high-rise building in Plateau district, Abidjan, Ivory Coast
The Immeuble CAISTAB is a functionalist high-rise with 25 floors located in the Plateau district of Abidjan. Its facade features distinctive vertical aluminum louvers that define the building's modernist character.
The building was completed in 1984 during a period of architectural expansion in West Africa. Its construction coincided with a time when Ivory Coast was experiencing economic growth and urban modernization.
The tower takes its name from the former Caisse de stabilisation, whose acronym, CAISTAB, became the building's name. That body no longer occupies the premises: the tower now houses the Ministry of Agriculture and several government bodies, including the Conseil Café-Cacao on the 22nd floor.
The building is located on Boulevard Botreau Roussel in the Plateau business district with easy access to nearby transportation hubs. The site is well connected to downtown and surrounding commercial areas.
The tower's name comes from the acronym of the former Caisse de stabilisation, the price-stabilisation fund that once occupied its offices. Today the building houses the Ministry of Agriculture and several government bodies, including the Conseil Café-Cacao on the 22nd floor.
