Translated part of it:

250 meters in height, more than 70 million Euro's of investment and 57 floors which mixes residentail units with a luxury hotel. This is the what is going to be the tower designed by architect Patxi Mangado (Estela, Spain 1957) in Buenos Aires; a giant skyscraper covered by a curtain wall which takes the skyline of the Argentinian capital to another level.

Nice! How much are the chances of it getting approved?

es un proyecto no?

^^

Apparently it is. And a good one, yes indeed. :yes:

Please, let's speak english here.

Well done BA.

Nice tower. The Buenos Aires city will shape a new skyline.
I like the design of the tower, the shape of the building and its location.

Nice tower, it's gonna be the tallest building in Bs As? It looks like, anyway, Bs As needs more high and this courageous building gonna be a good addition... Greetings from Colombia.

grate project, is it goin to be blue or grey?, because i like it better blue, like in the last render.

I love the way this building angles out and over powers the skyline. Beatufitfull design. Bravo Buenos Aires!!!

wow, and FINALLY!
BA is a city that could easily handle, and look great with more sculptural towers of this height...

Looks good. Great location.

Interesting comparison, the tower has a resemblance to that of Puerto Madero. Greetings :)

yes... congratulations B.A.!!! i'm so happy with this tower 'cause is gonna make "IMPACT" in the city.... i think that is gonna change the skyline, and everything in buenos aires... yes..

bye

great project, that's what buenos aires needs :cheers:

Very nice tower.

any news?
is it approved now?

^^ Not yet, recently was released this project, the ground where he is going to build already Bought by the Spaniards Investor -"Group Rayet and In Hotels & Real Estate "- who will invest 70 million for the construction of 40,000 m2.
This is just defining the project so far... And is expected to begin its construction 10 months.

10 months waiting? Not that long for a highrise like this ;) Nice design btw

^^ But it will be ready for 2010, the year that celebrates the bicentennial of my country.

English in a Buenos Aires forum??You've GOT to be kidding me...Here's the reminder,Buenos Aires is in Argentina where they speak SPANISH there.Spanish is more than welcome in this thread thank you very much.

You are in an international thread.

Very impressive and beautiful project to add to the impact of the Puerto Madera district.

No way this can get built out by 2010, even if it starts in early 2009.

Even more impressive than the building itself, is that this project will be attempted in the current banking credit crunch.

I will watch this one with great interest and will hope for a "project is a go" status soon. --DrT, Jacksonville, FL., USA.

If you got all the reason a project of this size would take at least 4 to 5 years to complete, what happens is that in argentina holds two bicentennial, May 25, 2010 (in celebration of the autonomy of the Spanish monarchy) and July 9, 2016, (Declaration of Independence). I think this tower was completed in 2016.
:)

What's the status?

What about height restrictions?

What's the status?

Right now, only a proposal.

What about height restrictions?

I do not believe that the Puerto Madera "highrise" district has any.
Argentinian forumers, correct me if wrong.

I'm pretty sure it does.

Nice! Correct me if I am wrong. But would this be the second tallest building in Saouth America?

Nice tower it will be the crown of Puerto Madero.

finally a 200+ in buenos aires. but considering it's argentina i wouldn't be sure about it until the construction begins...

Presentan la futura torre más alta de Buenos Aires

Con proyecto del español Francisco Mangado, asociado al local Estudio Aisenson, tendría 200 m de altura en el Dique 2 de Puerto Madero. Incluirá viviendas, hotel, restaurantes y otros usos públicos

Todavía está en la etapa de proyecto pero se confirmó que muy pronto comenzará la construcción del edificio más alto de Buenos Aires, en el Dique 2 de Puerto Madero, una escultórica torre de vidrio que dominará el skyline porteño.
Con proyecto del español Francisco José Mangado Beloqui, asociado al local Estudio Aisenson, el rascacielos tendría 220 m de altura, un total de 68200 m2, e incluiría viviendas en los pisos más bajos, hotel en los más elevados, y una serie de restaurantes, pileta y otros usos públicos en el centro y en el coronamiento, lo que "permite entender la torre como una continuidad del espacio público que es la calle-bulevar", explica Mangado.
Según Mangado, la idea de intercalar usos públicos y privados en la torre intenta no entender el edificio como "algo despegado de la realidad urbana" sino como un sistema para prolongar la calle en las alturas.

Beautiful building, but they lowered the height. :(

it will still be Argentina's tallest though! exciting :D

Nice building and a new record...can't wait to see it rise.

This building does not build much more than a year I think.

:deadthrea Sooo.... Will it be done? What's the status? I want to see it rising!

se ve chida la torre una asi pa mi ciudad no me caeria mal. jeje

nice tower resembles 11 Times Square:

http://www.pbase.com/image/77304545.jpg

I thought the same thing.

However, 11 Times square looks a lot better proportionally than the renderings of this hotel do, so let's hope it turns out better than what's depicted.

this is a pretty nice tower hope it gets approved.
