Low-carbon cement is being used for the structure and foundation of the TM Tower in Benidorm, south eastern Spain, due to become one of Europe’s tallest residential buildings, rising 200m over 64 floors.
The skyscraper will be built using Vertua Supremo cement made by Mexican materials company Cemex, who says it can cut CO₂ emissions by up to 38% compared to regular cement with similar strength, durability and improved resource efficiency.
The product is being supplied by Spanish aggregate manufacturer Arenas Forna to developer TM Grupo Inmobiliario.
The TM Tower will contain 260 residences, common areas and wellness spaces, and is due to be completed in 2028.
Cemex’s Vertua products have previously been used during construction in 2023 at the Houston Methodist’s Centennial Tower, the world’s largest medical complex.
