Tour F
Skyscraper in Abidjan
Tour F (English: Tower F) is a supertall office skyscraper under construction in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Started in 2021 and expected to be completed in 2026, it will stand at 421 metres (1,381 ft) tall with 75 floors and will surpass the Iconic Tower in Egypt's The New Capital to become the tallest building in Africa.
History
The skyscraper will be used as an office building. It is intended to consolidate government agencies, currently scattered throughout the city, by housing various ministries and administrative units. The developer is the Ivorian Ministry of Construction, Housing and Urban Planning, which is collaborating with the local construction company PFO Africa on the development and financing. Tour F was designed by the Lebanese-Ivorian architect Pierre Fakhoury. Completion is scheduled for 2026.
Construction
The idea for a sixth administrative building originated in the 1970s. At that time, Tour F was included in a comprehensive urban development plan and was intended to complement the five existing towers of the administrative complex (A to E). However, the project remained unbuilt for decades.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Tour F” as skyscraper in Abidjan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as skyscraper in Abidjan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125994702. The first chronological checks are 2021 and 2026.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
