Torres Alto Palermo, Residential tower complex in Palermo neighborhood, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Torres Alto Palermo is a pair of residential towers on Juncal Street facing Parque Las Heras, named Alto Palermo Plaza and Alto Palermo Park. Each has a large ground-floor hall and 34 apartment floors above two basement levels used as garages and storage for each unit. The towers look identical outside, but one holds 68 half-floor units and the other 136 apartments, four per floor. The design came from José Antonio Urgell, Enrique Fazio y Asociados, Augusto Penedo y Asociados and the studio of Manteola, Petchersky, Sánchez Gómez, Santos and Solsona.
The complex was built between 1993 and 1997 on a 6,100 m² site facing Parque Las Heras that had held the National Penitentiary, demolished in 1962. The same group, Alto Palermo S.A., had opened the Alto Palermo shopping centre on the former Palermo brewery grounds on 17 October 1990, and began the towers in 1992. The first tower opened in 1995, the second in 1997.
The complex gave its name to the Alto Palermo area, which grew around the shopping centre opened on 17 October 1990 on the grounds of the former Palermo brewery. The two towers are named Alto Palermo Plaza and Alto Palermo Park, and each has its own party room; the Plaza tower also has a youth room, the Park tower a children's playroom.
The location sits in a central area with bus stops and shops nearby, making it easy to find and explore from the street. Visitors can view the exterior and night lighting design from public spaces, though interior access is restricted to residents and their guests.
The two towers look identical from outside but differ inside: one holds 68 half-floor units, the other 136 apartments, four per floor. Both share two basement garage levels and a front parking area on Juncal Street. The complex also has an outdoor and heated pool, a solarium, covered padel and squash courts, and two shared gyms.
