Mercado del Plata

Mercado del Plata is a commercial building in Buenos Aires featuring a glass facade that spans eight floors above ground. The structure houses office spaces in the upper levels and shops at street level and in two basement stories.

Built between 1947 and 1962 by architects Oscar Crivelli and Jorge Heinzmann, the structure replaced an earlier 19th-century marketplace. This transformation reflected the city's growing modernization and the need for expanded commercial spaces.

The building represented a shift in Buenos Aires urban development, marking the transition from traditional marketplaces to modern commercial and administrative spaces.

Multiple mechanical staircases and elevators provide access to the various retail and office levels throughout the building. The central Buenos Aires location ensures convenient access by public transportation.

The building operates in two distinct sectors: an office tower above and a marketplace with two basement levels below. This split design allows the location to function as both a modern administrative center and a traditional commercial hub.
