Mercado del Plata, Commercial building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Mercado del Plata features a glass facade extending across eight floors, combining office spaces with commercial establishments on the ground level.

Established in 1856 as the first wholesale market in Buenos Aires, the original structure was replaced between 1947 and 1962 by architects Oscar Crivelli and Jorge Heinzmann.

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

The structure contains 50 commercial establishments at street level, with mechanical escalators connecting the retail areas to municipal offices throughout the building.

The construction incorporated two distinct sectors: an eight-story office block and a marketplace spanning two basement levels with small shops on the ground floor.
