Torres Pueyrredón, Residential building in Avellaneda Partido, Argentina.
Torres Pueyrredón is a residential complex of six 25-storey tower blocks with 1,200 two- and three-room apartments, built on the site of the former Mercado Central de Frutos beside the Riachuelo and the Nuevo Puente Pueyrredón. It also has covered parking for 350 cars and a shared dry plaza.
The six towers opened in 1996, during the building boom of the 1990s, made possible by modern machinery brought in under the Ley de Convertibilidad. They stand on land where the Mercado Central de Frutos operated from 1889 until the 1960s. After the December 2001 crisis, daily pickets on the Puente Pueyrredón hit the complex hard; from 2003 the area recovered and the towers were restored.
The towers stand on the grounds of the Mercado Central de Frutos, which operated there from 1889 until the 1960s; the complex's name and the nearby Puente Pueyrredón tie it to that riverside area. Residents share a plaza seca and a large park beside the buildings, and the 1,200 apartments of two and three rooms house a middle-class population.
The complex stands beside the Riachuelo and the Nuevo Puente Pueyrredón, on the grounds of the former Mercado Central de Frutos. It is a private residential complex, so the six towers, the covered parking for 350 cars and the plaza seca are not open to visitors; the layout is best seen from the surrounding public streets.
The towers stand on land where the Mercado Central de Frutos operated from 1889 until the 1960s, before the residential complex was built.
