Remodelación San Borja

Remodelación San Borja is a large residential complex in Santiago consisting of multiple towers spread across a site between two main streets. The development integrates housing with green spaces and commercial areas to form a mixed-use urban environment.

Construction of this complex started in the 1960s on the site of a former hospital that was demolished for the new development. This transformation marked an important moment in Santiago's urban renewal efforts.

The park within this complex displays sculptures honoring important figures from the city's past, which visitors can discover while walking through the green areas. These artworks serve as waypoints that add character to the residential environment.

The area connects to two nearby metro stations, making it easy for visitors and residents to get around. Its location between two main streets makes the site accessible and straightforward to navigate.

This development was ahead of its time in incorporating independent water and heating systems serving the entire residential area. This technical approach made the project an innovative model for how large urban housing could operate.
