Torre De David, Centro Financiero Confinanzas, Caracas, Venezuela

Venezuela's massive housing shortage led to occupation of the building by squatters in October 2007. Residents have improvised basic services, with water reaching up to the 22nd floor. The residents live up to the 28th floor, with many bodegas and even an unlicensed dentist also operating in the building. Some residents even have cars, parked in the building's parking garage. Seven hundred families comprising over 2,500 residents live in the tower.
Its construction began in 1990, but the crisis of 1994 stopped the construction. The complex has six buildings: El Atrio (Lobby and conference room), the Torre A of 190 m. including a heliport, Torre B, Edificio K, Edificio Z, and 12 stories of parking.
