Gómez Building, Historical landmark in central Mendoza, Argentina
The Gómez Building is a modern high-rise in central Mendoza constructed with concrete and steel materials. Its 34 meter height and glass facade make it a striking feature in the downtown area.
Construction began in 1954 as the city's first high-rise, marking a turning point in urban development. Decades later, the building received national monument status in 2017 for its architectural importance.
The building reflects international architectural trends that arrived in South America during the 1950s. Visitors can still see how New York skyscraper style was mixed with European design elements.
The building is located on Garibaldi Street in the downtown area and serves many people as an orientation point. Its position makes it easy to reach and it sits near other important city center locations.
A television antenna on the roof strengthens the vertical presence of the building and creates a recognizable silhouette in the sky. This detail adds to the building's visual identity as seen from around the city.
