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.).



This project was announced a few days ago, with a great expectancy in press media, being its more significant fact that the Chile’s President, Ricardo Lagos was invited by Horst Paulmann, president of Cencosud group, owner of this project, to the inaugural ceremony of construction works.

The total cost of the 600.000 m² complex is 300 million dollar.

On the downside there is a thick smog above the city.
oh really??? Tell me something... Deutschnörgler. :colbert:
If Berlin would be surrounded by THAT mountains, it wouldn't look any different.

:tongue:

Enviromental restrictions in Santiago are the toughest in whole Latinamerica, and has the newest "car population" in same region, but certain geographical circumstances simply limit the effect on what you can do against pollution. You simply can't ban cars in a modern 7 million city.

A lot more could be done though. Lets not kid ourselves.

the architect didn't like how the "china's" cladding looks like, so they stop them and returned the glasses and asked a US company to make them. In a couple of months they will recive the new glasses.

Glasses = Lentes... por si acaso.

That's right, they had an issue with the courtain wall sent from China, so now they have to order again to an US provider. We really hope it doesn't take any longer !

Tian Shan and Pamir

actually, if there would not be any Himalaya, they'd be the ^^ highest on earth. Aconcagua with 7000 meters is not very far away from Santiago, its 70kms behind the mountains you see on that pic.
Tian Shan and Pamir let alone the Karakoram (K2) are still higher (7000/8000+).

Apart from that Santiago is looking great. Visited twice, lovely relaxed city :) .

Well, you are technically right, though I considered Karakorum (where these mentioned peaks are located at) an "extended version" of the Himalaya. They belong to the same tectonic movement.

But yes, you're right... and the dutch mountain, I actually have heard about Vaalserberg near the 3 country border with Belgium and Germany, actually this even sounds more familiar to me than the Karakorum, hehehe, because my GF is frisian ;)
