from wikipedia's entry on 'centro financiero confinanzas'

centro financiero confinanzas also known as torre de david (the tower of david), is an unfinished
skyscraper in caracas, the capital of venezuela. it is the third highest skyscraper in the country
after the twin towers of parque central complex. this tower in downtown caracas is nicknamed
"torre de david" after david brillembourg, the tower's main investor who died in 1993. the
construction of the tower began in 1990 but was halted in 1994 due to the venezuelan banking
crisis. as of 2014, the building remains incomplete and is occupied by squatters. the building lacks
elevators, installed electricity, running water, balcony railing, windows and even walls in many
places. venezuela's massive housing shortage led to occupation of the building by squatters in
october 2007. residents have improvised basic utility services, with water reaching all the way up
to the 22nd floor. they can use motorcycles to travel up and down the first 10 floors, but must
use the stairs for the remaining levels. the residents live up to the 28th floor, with many bodegas
and even an unlicensed dentist also operating in the building. some residents even have cars,
parked inside of the building's parking garage. seven hundred families comprising over 2,500
residents live in the tower today.

in may 2014 the tower was featured in the bbc world news documentary, our world.

"tower of david," an episode of the us television drama homeland, was set in the building (but
filmed in puerto rico).
