The Tour Odéon was the first high-rise built in Monaco since the 1980s, when Prince Rainier III had halted towers. The National Council voted for it on 12 February 2009, a priest blessed the site that November, and the 170-metre, 49-floor tower by Alexandre Giraldi was delivered and inaugurated in April 2015 – the tallest building in the principality, and at completion the second-tallest on Europe's Mediterranean coast. It mixes private residences, including a five-floor sky penthouse, with State apartments behind a separate entrance, offices, shops and a spa; Alberto Pinto designed the lobby.
