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.

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.
