Costanera Center

I’m pleased to present you the project for the Southamerica’s tallest skyscraper and Latinamerica’s tallest office building. With its 60 floors and 257 metres (843 feet) height is going to be an urban and architectonic landmark for Santiago...

The tallest tower is part of a huge commercial complex that includes 2 hotels ( 35 floors), 1 mall, 2 markets, cinemas, and parking places for 4500 vehicles. This tower will surpass to the recently announced “Torre Portada de Vitacura” (181 mts. 593.83 ft.) over 70 mts. (229.65 ft.).

will be wonderfull!! i feel proud of santiago and our new skyscraper.

te la mandaste javier! muy buena informacion!

lo unico q me molesta es la altura del marriot q insisto es la q sale aca

http://www.lun.com/modulos/catalogo/Paginas/LUN_JPG/1000/2006/03/04/LUCSTEC13LU0403.jpg

Looks nice! I really like the distinctive top.

I´m impressed of this proyect. Definitelly this proyect is going to change the image of our country capital Santiago. Finally the country gets a huge sksycraper after many years of a faster economic growing.
I´m also impressed about the complex design, is going to have a very good looking, very modern and imposing, Cesar Pelli did a great work.

finally, a phallus we can all be proud to shake at the world! !VIVA CHILE! finally, the race for the skies is on in santiago. we can expect more projects of significant height in the next few years to fill up our nascent skyline.

Is wonderfull...that place will be amazing...thanks Paullmann!!!

Very nice job Javier... the information will let people know about this great building. Like everybody in Chile, I'm very proud of this. Great design, great height, great idea :)
Congratulations to you all mates!

Cool!!, now, not only is Chile Latin America's ( that region that includes the countries from Mexico all the way to Argentina... for those who forgot their geography lessons) most avdanced country, but now they have got the tallest skyscraper in the region too.

Congratulations!!!!

OH my god again!! this is the most beatifull skyscraper in Latin America!
Costanera Center rules!!

Great news! Santiago is developing fast, and this skyscraper is perfect for the city. To a European like myself it is kind of funny how these skyscrapers are popping up in Providencia instead of downtown, but I guess that makes perfect sense in South America. I remember being at a rotating restaurant in top of one of the existing skyscrapers in the area (overlooking a party street called "La Suecia" or something), and hope this new skyscraper will have a restaurant on top as well.

One of the world's most beautiful buildings that U/C.

The design promotes the feeling of a powerful prescence but is still elegant. A well designed building and a jewel for South America.

WONDERFUL tower.It will be the best skyscraper in Latin America for sure!!!
Cesar Pelli rules :bow:

wow, this is really nice! I really like the top. looks like a glowing torch at night.

A very nice building indeed. It looks impressive. Very nice and well organised thread as well. Congratulations.

without doubts, spectacular,wonderful with this it gives a seal him of the true development that has experienced the city.
Demonstrated that Santiago in these I complete time takes the tendency of the in Latinoamerica,this to the vanguard , the tower is beautiful and the surroundings that accompanies it, make see themselves majestic

This beautiful buidling will be an icon of the development Chile is been going on

God bless tata Horst Paulmann

;)

The tower is stunning!!! SO tell me, what are the major high-rise districts in Santiago? And why is there such a boom in Providencia?

^^ Dear friend datilguy:

These two districts: Providencia & Las Condes, actually are the most booming places in our city, they have all new high rises new developments, because the old Santiago's CBD has changed to residential buildings. So the new city's centre is located between these two dictricts, that means to me a stunning change of the entyre city...

Thank you... :)

A very nice building indeed. It looks impressive. Very nice and well organised thread as well. Congratulations.

Thank you very much dear "compatriot"

:)

I'm proud to be chilean, congrats , Santiago and Chile... the city is becoming the home for new amazing buildings...

Looks fantastic, I don't know much Spanish but it looks like you're in for an exciting 3 years watching these babies grow up ;)

These scrapers are good monuments to Chile's entrance into the first world.
I think it was about time we had something BIG to reflect the BIG efforts made by the goverment to make Chile the most prosperous nation in Lat.America! I'm very excited to see the construction development of all the new skyscrapers :D Congratulations to Chile, you deserve it! :cheers:

BANNER COSTANERA CENTER PLEASE!!!

Enhorabuena, que no pare Santiago!!! :cheers:

A very nice centre piece for the city. The glowing top will look fantastic at night.

The building seems to look strange in this diagram.It seems to have a triangular shape on it,but in the renders it looks like a square-shaped building.

http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/7371/render02desdecostanera1wp.jpg

^^ yes , this is a fast render and for this it look strange

great!! This is almost the first world :)

Thanks for the info Javier!! And may I say you have a beautiful city!!...I'm looking forward to my first trip to Chile :)

I have to go and see this awesome building when it is completed.

Beautiful skyscraper for a beautiful city.. Arriba Santiago!!

You're all welcome to Chile my friends... Come and see... You're probably going to be surprised!!!

Just stunning, can't wait to see it built.

when i came down the mountains, filled with the nature spirit, i almost got a haert attack when i saw the tower on tv...

For Marsipulami: The Dutch name for Chile is Chili. All very similar, yet still different!
SCL is really booming!

Stunning tower! Reminds a lot of the new Freedom Tower, but looks better. I will make a diagram of this. Together with Titanium La Portada (181m, u/c) it will dwarf the rest of the skyline, that is not only a good thing.

^^ Thanks Nightsky...

Love your work...

:okay:
That's the way to go Santiago de Chile! This is a real beauty, and it will seduce the entire city of Santiago to our passion of skyscrapers.
Pelli has struck once again with his magic, this is a great tower, although I somehow feel like it's decapitated

santiago is a beautiful city so i hope this will have observation at the top?! very, very nice looking tower!!

we wait this to , a observation on the top will be amazing

Yep, it would be cool if they could really transform it into a true Watchtower, hehe.

Costanera Center Breaking News!!!

The ingeneer in charge Rene Lagos said in a seminary in the last week: the Costanera Tower will have 300mt (984 ft) !!!!!!!! , with 2 towers with 170mt and one with 105.
amazing, it will be the tallest office building in Latin America. and the tallest of the south hemisphere with eureka tower (australia).

please Primo more info :)

300 meters, that is superb!!! I love the crown!

it looks like a lipstick :D

If copper prices fall the boom is going to fall also


o no my friend

in fact, higher prices of cooper may affect local economy, thats why the government put all the profits of cooper production in foreign markets

the cooper is great for the social activities, but the engine of chilean's economy is a little more than just cooper

actually, chilean economy is really stable. Most economists believe that is going to grow an average 5% during the next years. It is very unlikely that during the years to come an economic downturn would paralyze any big project.

Great design. Will this be the tallest building in Latin America once completed?

^^no. it will be the tallest office building in latin america, and i believe tied with one in australia as the tallest in the southern hemisphere, but panama city has/will have about half a dozen residential buildings that are/will be taller.

The building looks superb! :cheers:

¡Jo, qué torre más guapa! ¡Felicidades a todos los chilenos!

:cheers:

This is what this section of Santiago's skyline will look like by 2010, with the two large skyscraper projects under construction concurrently, on the left the Titanium Tower (La Portada de Vitacura, or Vitacura Portal) measuring 190m/623.5ft (to be completed by 2009) and Gran Costanera Tower with its two lateral buildings on the right....

Will be Latin Americas tallest and best tower!!!

Will be Latin Americas tallest and best tower!!!

a agree that it will be the best tower in latin america, however it will NOT be the tallest. panama city will have about a half dozen residential buildings taller than the costanera center by the time it's finished in 2010. however, i do believe this building will be the tallest OFFICE building in latin america.

Let's wait until they are really built!!!

La verdad es que es un edificio precioso, menudo cambio el de Santiago de Chile entre el metro, los nuevos edificios y vuestra economía que va como una locomotora. Felicidades!!

Thanks Iggui for translated the info that I took at that Civil Engineers seminary. You did a great job.

Well I can´t wait to see this tower elevate to the sky.

Felicidades a Santiago por tener el primer GRAN y verdadero rascacielo de Latinoamérica!

This picture was recently taken by the Argentine forumer MZN on his recent trip to Santiago.

On the right side of the picture you can see part of the foundation of the main 300m tower (Gran Costanera). Along the same edge, following the crane arm, you can see the foundations of one of the 170m twin towers.

Gorgeous project! Look forward to updates!

By the way, is that a river which runs alongside the complex ?

Great project!

Looks great. I like the shape.

By the way, is that a river which runs alongside the complex ?
yes, the Mapocho River (Rio Mapocho), which runs through Santiago. It's a fast-moving river coming off the Andes, which is why it's brown, like many mountain rivers (that, plus it's polluted, though not like it once was). There are plans in the works to make it "navigable". They're going to clean it up (water filtration system) and put in a series of locks to dam the river every couple of KMs so that you can swim or boat in it, but the project is still on the drawing board and hasn't been officially approved.

You'll notice a green park on the far side in the picture. Right underneath that is the Costanera Norte (north shore) Highway, which runs beneath the river for several KMs. On the land reclaimed from the freeway, the government has built a series of parks along the river.

The Costanera Center is being built immediately to the right of these buildings. Here you can see where the underground highway begins.
http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/2460/f0207fw.jpg

Here is where it re-emerges (lower-middle).

Gracias. And the riverbank is very nicely landscaped, with the highway rather discreetly worked in.

Thanks Pablo (Iggui) for the Update.

A big hug :)

Beautiful city! Great project!

Gracias for the sheen building updates! New building, new image, new life.

I forgot to mention in my original update from last week that most of what you're seeing in the picture (the cement layers in the center) is the underground parking garage, which will be beneath the mall if I'm not mistaken. The foundations for the 300m Gran Costanera tower is the half-circle in the lower-right edge of the picture, by the way.

Espero les guste

It´s a huge huge thing!

the size of the construction site is impressive!!

which game??

it is a joke!
Beautiful construction:cheers:

Now, In this moment, I am working near of the Costanera center. is very great...

great building, i love the design and it fits nicely in the area

providencia and tobalaba sections are really stunning and never fail to impress the eye of the visitor.

im afraid it might dwarf a little to much the sorrounding buildings, but iconic no matter how

Thanks a lot for the updates Silvernet and Javier. I can see progress and i´m quite desperate to see it growing up like other supertalls !

is beautiful ... this is the largest building latinoamerica :)

Any update?
I luv this tower:cheers:

Beautiful!!
Hopefully it will become a significant landmark.

My favourite building in south america !!!

An awesome tower for sure.

^^

No hagas caso, éste dato al igual que el otro en el thread que te alegrabas no son muy estrictos y por tanto poco fiables -y no descalifico del todo el posible nuevo aumento en la torre-. Pero mejor fiarse en los planos "oficiales" -al menos los más actuales a los que tenemos acceso-;

Un acercamiento a uno de los alzados que antes posteé; Aquí podrás ver la cota +405.00 como remate del edificio, y abajo el nivel de desplante de la superestructura -lo que está por encima del nivel de calle- que es + 105.00, entonces 405.00-105.00 = 300 mts.

Hi Guys

New updates from Costanera Center, pictures taken recently by me on Saturday. It shows great part of this complex, with its more importante piece: The "Gran Costanera" Tower (300m), that its by now reaching ground level. We'll watch this tower grow up very soon.


Hope you like it.

Great Updates

yeh, and a really good progress since the last :)

amazing updates!!!!
thanks toninoo

it's growing very fast :)

There is a quite similar tower being built in Kuala Lumpur.

This is a beautiful tower. I was in SANTIAGO in august (2007). It's a great city, looks like VANCOUVER in CANADA, some parts of the city, like LAS CONDES and PROVIDENCE.
Gostaria um dia de voltar, que cidade maravilhosa, fiquei hospedado no hotel TORRE MAYOR no bairro da PROVIDENCIA. Fiquei realmente impressionado com a cidade. Parabéns SANTIAGO por este grande edifício. Santiago merece.:)

Thanks for showing that building elevation ! I can see too much progress since my last visit many weeks ago. Finally growing up as expected.

not sure if this has been asked but won't this be the tallest building in all of South America? nice looking tower by the way!

not sure if this has been asked but won't this be the tallest building in all of South America? nice looking tower by the way!

Yes, it will be the tallest building in South America !

thats a sleek tower!

Soon there should be renders of the other three towers of the complex.

very nice!

I like the progress

any news????

What a great project! This has to be one of my worldwide favorites! Congratulations to Santiago and Chile.

what a great update!!!
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantatisc!

It now has 65 floors in 300m

cool thx :)

btw...how many floors will that tower have? in the first post it say 60 but with a height of 257m

The project has changed since then. Today is 300m and 62 floors for sure, but the 3 more levels is still under evaluation.

Finally we got some updates.. Thanx btw..

Best project in L.America IMO. Nice to see parking works that advanced :)

Nice updates!:cheers:

Why is taking so long?

-Chile (and obviously, Santiago) is one of the most seismic zones in the world :( So, you can imagine how difficult is to build a Supertall.

-The project consists in 4 towers and a commercial center! :happy: Cencosud (the company behind the project) decided that all of them must be constructed simultaneously.


cheers.

very good project! Santiago seems to be a very impressive city. Hope to visit it some day.

nice building would have looked much better taller

300m are quite good for this design i think

nice building would have looked much better taller

For such a seismic zone 300m is really tall, in fact I´m amaze that they are building it so high

For such a seismic zone 300m is really tall, in fact I´m amaze that they are building it so high

Lots of supertalls are built in seismic zones. The first was the US Bank tower in Los Angeles, that was passed by Taipei 101, which was even damaged by an 8 earthquake during construction, but it survived just fine and is now the current WTB. There is an argument that says that you are even safer in a really tall building than a midrise.

LOL that's a blantant rip off of SOMs original Russia Tower design, minus the extended top.

what are you talking about??? Hollie Mae said it already: there are hundreds of thousands of towers on this world, it is simply normal that some towers are similar to each other :doh:!

Great updates, although not too much difference...

You are so right, is like if you find a person that's look similar to another one, hehe well there are thousands of millions person. I think that in some case buildings are similar just for coincidence.

Progress today of pipesky

This looks like a giant paper cup dispenser..

the construction site looks damn awesome from above!!

it looks massive

Giant, huge, the most impressive construction in the chilean history! :cheers:

Yes, the shots from above do discribe the size of this project, at first i was wondering "why so many cranes", but now (from above) it's eazy to understand why, this is a massive project. (and also a very siesmic minded)

Simple, elegant and solid, this tower really stands out in the skyline!

Yes, views from above helps to see clearly how big this project is. It's impressive how enormous is the area of the whole complex, that includes 4 towers within the 6 level mall... That's why you saw many cranes. The seismic design of this project can be watched by everyone, when I watched it I got stunned with all that steel bars frames.

Thanks for your opinion :)

Costanera Center Updates 13-01-2008

Buddies

I'm pleased to bring you some images of the construction of this huge complex, that it's about two years of unstoppable growing.
There's a 2nd Liebherr Jib Tower Crane in the main tower (Torre 2 300m). That tower has reached two levels over the ground, so
you can see the concrete core and perimetral columns. At this time we hope construction will grow faster, because levels under
ground always take more time to be ready.

Hope you like them :)

Exactly !

Beautiful pics, thanx Javier and Kofemord :cheers:

Thanks for the updates. Now we can see the Gran Costanera tower rising. :cheers:

Amazing shots kofemord ! That is a good pic of the main tower. Thanks!

Wow, very huge. I'm very impatient to see all the proyect finished. Thanks for the updates, koke. :)

goods updates

Thanks a lot for your updates guys :okay:

So, am i correct in assuming that the two luffing cranes are the ones that are building the Gran Costenera tower (tower 2 )..?

I did not realize that the Titainium tower was so short in comparison to the Gran Costenera...! (the elevation drawings are the same scale, right...!!?)

^^ You're right! Those cranes are building the Gran Costanera Center :okay:

And yep, the Titanium Tower is really close to CC. (Not right on the side, but with the rest of the existent skyline between this two towers, will look pretty cool the whole new skyline ;))

Cheers!

So, am i correct in assuming that the two luffing cranes are the ones that are building the Gran Costenera tower (tower 2 )..?

That's right, there are 15 tower cranes over the whole complex. The two luffing cranes are just working for Tower 2.

I did not realize that the Titainium tower was so short in comparison to the Gran Costenera...! (the elevation drawings are the same scale, right...!!?)

Yep, you're right... both elevation drawings are the same scale. Costanera Tower is about 110m taller than Titanium (pretty short).

Still, i like the Titainium tower, i like the shape of the floorplates, and the structural plan is cool, esp. the angeled sheer walls at each end, it will be a great addition to that section of the skyline.

pictures still do no releave the main tower...:ohno: as if it woun't be any this is not a tipical tower construction..it looks like a mall

I would agree that a good rendering of the base of tower 2, would be in order, however some of the posted photo's show clearly the "meaty" heavally reinforced support columns at the base of tower 2, it should be a few floors above the main elevation of the "mall" in a few months.

THATS THE MAIN TOWER RISING

That's the picture i'm talking about, the large square forms are the core, and the outer columns are those dense, (almost square) rebar cages.

how high is it to the first rentable office floor, in other words, how high is the lobby...?

thx for clearing that up now kofemord :)

The lobby is going to have 6 meters tall, in fact it is the same height than the floor to floor of the shopping.

Just about 18 to 20 feet, not very high........ does any one have a floorplan, or is there one in a previous post...? there must be more to it than this, perhaps a sunken mezzanine from the parking levels...?

Costanera Center 26-01-2008

People

Here new updates of Costanera Center, rising up to the sky. There's the main core and perimetral columns in formwork, at the lobby. We hope see construction go faster now.

See ya :)

thanks Javier, really good updates.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/pacpero/gsg.jpg

Wow, I had never seen this picture before. I can see the magnitude of the construction by comparing with the WTC buildings on the right-hand side of the model. This will absolutely change the postcard of the city.

Thank you guys for the updates. The main tower is rising above the ground. Now that the strong foundations are laid, rise should be faster.

Regards

The Magnitude is impressive, Santiago face change dramatically,

Javier, thanks for updates...

wow , nice pic´s
