The Odeon Tower ((フランス語:Tour Odéon)) is a double-skyscraper currently being built〔(Monaco.maville.com Annonciade : feu vert pour la plus haute tour de Monaco ), 〕 in the Principality of Monaco. It is the first high-rise in the city-state to be built since the 1980s (high constructions had been abandoned due to architectural concerns, sea polders had been preferred). At 170 meters high, Tour Odeon will be the second tallest building on Europe's Mediterranean coast, after Gran Hotel Bali (186m) in Benidorm, Spain. Had Tour Odeon been built in neighboring France, it would be among that country's 10 highest buildings. It will be the 199th tallest building in the world - by floor count - upon its finish date. This project from Claudio Marzocco's Marzocco Group is an important renewal of economic development for the second-smallest country in the world.〔("Monaco érige deux tours pour soutenir l'activité économique" ), BatiActu, 25 February 2009, 〕 Its construction was launched in the middle of the economic crisis, in 2009. == Background == At the end of the 1980s, Prince Rainier III decided to stop building high rises in Monaco, following the construction of some controversial architectural choices. In 2008 his son, Prince Albert II, decided to abandon a polder project (judged as too expensive and too dangerous for surrounding sealife) and build a new high-rise and reformed polder project instead. Both the complex's design and construction was/is subject to validation by the Urbanism Department of the Principality, and the Prince of Monaco himself.〔(Monaco.maville.com Monaco - Grands travaux : le Monaco du futur est sur les rails ), 〕 The construction of the main high-rise was finally voted by the Monegasque Parliament (the 'Conseil National') on February 12, 2009.〔(Conseil National - Official website ), 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Odeon Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
