Torre Quartier San Telmo, Postmodern residential tower in San Telmo, Argentina
Torre Quartier San Telmo is a postmodern residential building with 28 floors in Buenos Aires that stands out visually from the older structures in the area. The complex combines apartments of varying sizes with commercial spaces at street level and underground parking facilities.
The building was constructed between 2009 and 2012 and marked a turning point in urban development for this traditional area. With this project, a new phase began in San Telmo where modern residential development gained prominence alongside historic neighborhoods.
The tower sits in a neighborhood famous for its colonial buildings and tango heritage, where contemporary living exists alongside older streets and traditions. This contrast between modern design and historic surroundings shapes how the district looks and feels today.
The building entrance is easy to spot from the street, with separate access points clearly marked for residential and commercial areas. Visitors should know that most parking is located underground and the street-level area is primarily used for foot traffic.
The building represents a deliberate departure from the neighborhood's architecture, with a contemporary facade intentionally contrasting with the colonial structures around it. This made the project a focal point in debates about how San Telmo would develop in the coming years.
