The Iberdrola Tower in Bilbao's Abandoibarra area, beside the Nervión river, was designed by César Pelli, with Aguinaga y Asociados Arquitectos in the final project. It was built as Iberdrola's headquarters, though the article names no owner. The infobox gives 2007 for the start and 2011 for completion. King Juan Carlos I inaugurated it on February 21, 2012. The article names no style or materials.

The roof stands 165 m (541 feet) high. The floor count varies by passage, from 36 typical floors plus 4 mechanical to 40 or 41, with 5 basement levels. Floor area is 50,000 square meters and it has 21 lifts.

It is the tallest building in the Basque Country and in Bilbao. A planned hotel on the first eight floors was cancelled. The expected cost was about €210 million.
