Torre de la Escollera

Torre de la Escollera was a 206 m (676 ft) tall residential skyscraper with 58 floors planned to be built in Cartagena, Colombia.

[1][2] The under construction building suffered severe structural damage during a storm on 13 May 2007, and was dismantled later that year.

[2] The design of the Torre de la Escollera called for a slender tower, 206 m (676 ft) tall with 58 floors.

The high winds and a lack of diagonal bracing, caused a 1 m (3 ft) twist in the steel structure between floors 28 and 40.

[3] Construction was suspended and the Society of Engineers and Architects of Bolívar recommended the building be demolished.
