Le Schuylkill is a historic high-rise residential building in Monaco. Completed in 1970, it is the first modern skyscraper in the principality.
It is located at 19 Boulevard de Suisse in Saint Michel, Monaco.[1] [2] [3]
The construction of the building was completed in 1970.[1] [2] It was designed in the modernist architectural style.[1] It is 78 metres high, with twenty-five storeys.[1] It is the fourteenth tallest building in Monaco.
It was owned by heiress Hélène Pastor through her eponymous real estate company.[3] [4] [5] Her daughter, Sylvia Pastor, lived in this building with her companion, the Polish businessman and honorary consul Wojciech Janowski.[6] [7] Another notable resident was Michael Pearson, 4th Viscount Cowdray.[8]
In May 2023, the Communal Council of Monaco approved plans to completely renovate Le Schuylkill at an estimated cost of €170 million. The modernised renovation, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, will change the current mix of offices and apartments to an all-residential configuration of 142 apartments, as well as entirely replacing the tower's façade. Construction is planned to start in March 2024, with completion estimated for 2028.[9]
