Benidorm, the tourist capital of Alicante province, is hosting the construction of the TM Tower, which will be Europe's tallest residential skyscraper, featuring 64 floors and a height of 230 meters.

The TM Tower, TM Grupo Inmobiliario's new project in Benidorm, has completed its first phase with the finalization of its base. This building, set to become Europe's tallest residential skyscraper, will have 64 floors and rise 230 meters high opposite Poniente beach. The construction has already set 355 piles at a depth of sixteen meters, and work is underway on the parking levels.
For the foundation, 5,319 cubic meters of concrete and 245 tons of steel have been used, over 3,588 linear meters of drilling. The Director of Projects at TM, Raquel Nadal, and the Site Manager, Juanjo Navarro, highlight the importance of this key moment, considering the complexity of the foundation and the four basements.
The TM Tower will surpass the current Polish skyscraper Zlota 44. According to Navarro, the speed of execution will be a differentiating factor, thanks to advanced auxiliary means, such as autonomous hydraulic climbing systems and special protective screens, which enhance safety at height and protection against adverse weather conditions.
Innovation is also reflected in the use of two parallel static pumps and an autonomous concrete distributor that rises with the structure, freeing up cranes. The building will feature seven elevators, some reaching speeds of 6 meters per second, allowing access to the top floor in less than a minute. Additionally, the elevators will incorporate an energy recovery system for energy savings.
