The construction of urban developments is leading San Salvador to become a modern city.[citation needed] The building was a project f Roble Investment Group, which also built the shopping mall Multiplaza, across the street. The building has 28 levels and a height of 361.9 feet (110.3 m) and upon its completion it became the tallest in the country and even in Central America (except for Panama). The project was built in one of the most important commercial areas of the city. "El Pedregal is aimed at people who want to live in a safe and enjoyable environment", said Alberto Poma, general manager of Roble Group. The tower is part of a multipurpose project to be developed in phases on a total area of seven blocks (excluding the area of Multiplaza). The plan of the project included a five-star hotel, office buildings, apartments, and the existing mall.
