T Tower, Office building in San Isidro, Lima, Peru
T Tower is an office building in San Isidro, Lima, standing 101 meters along its façade line, with 24 floors and a semi-covered rooftop. It faces Avenida Javier Prado in the district's corporate centre. Its structure uses viscous and magneto-rheological dampers that dissipate seismic energy through a fluid moving between chambers.
Construction of the building started in 2015 and finished in 2018, marking a turning point in Lima's urban growth. The project was part of San Isidro's ongoing modernization as a business hub.
T Tower takes its name from its T-shaped floor plan, a detail visible in the building's footprint rather than its silhouette. Its office floors serve corporate tenants in San Isidro's financial district, and the semi-covered rooftop is part of the structure. The building opened in 2018.
The building sits along Avenida Javier Prado and is accessible by public transportation. The area is best explored during business hours when the district is most active.
T Tower's seismic protection relies on viscous and magneto-rheological dampers, devices that move a fluid between chambers to absorb movement. The magneto-rheological dampers can adjust their damping level during an earthquake, improving the building's energy dissipation. Construction began in 2015 and cost over S/.115 million.
