The Sindoni Tower (also known as Filippo Sindoni Tower) is a skyscraper located in the Venezuelan city of Maracay. It is the highest in the city. It has an estimated height of 125 meters, and about 32 floors, making it the eighth tallest building in Venezuela, as well as being one of the newest buildings in height. It is one of the landmarks of the city, designed in a modern architectural style, with the use of glass, brick, and reinforced concrete. It was opened in 1999. The building is named after the Italian-Venezuelan businessman Filippo Sindoni, who died in 2006.
There have been many attempts to emulate the tower in question, such as a metal structure "over 125 m high" in an unknown location in the center-west of Venezuela called "Contemporary Tower", as well as many other structures in the area, but they will never be raised.
It is located between two of the most important avenues of the city, the Avenida Bolivar and Miranda Avenue, and the tower can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.
