Construction of the tower, which was intended to be a gleaming financial office complex, began in 1990. Building ground to a halt in 1994 due to Venezuela’s banking crisis and the death of its developer – financier and horse-breeder David Brillembourg. The building is now nicknamed “The Tower of David” after him.
Squatters began occupying the unfinished building in 2007, and today about 3,000 people call the tower their home.
