Torre de las Telecomunicaciones (Telecommunications Tower) or Torre Antel (Antel Tower) is a 157 meter tall building with 35 floors in Montevideo, Uruguay. It is the headquarters of Uruguay's government-owned telecommunications company, ANTEL, and is the tallest building in the country. It was designed by architect Carlos Ott. It is situated by the side of Montevideo's bay. The tower was completed by American Bridge and other design/built consortium team members in 2002.

Characteristics

With a total area of 19.459 m², the complex consists of the main tower, the Customer Service Building, the Telecommunications Museum and the Auditorium.[1]

There are guided visits all through the week.

Controversy

When its construction was announced, many politicians complained about its cost ($40 million, plus $25 million for the construction of the other 5 buildings of the Telecommunications Complex).

Problems during its construction turned the original $65 million into $102 million.
