Torre Galicia Central, Commercial skyscraper in Microcentro, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Description
Torre Galicia Central is a 33-story office building located at the intersection of Perón and Reconquista streets in Buenos Aires's downtown core. Its distinctive curved window pattern spans five levels on the north side, creating a notable visual element on the street.
History
The building was completed in 2007 while preserving sections of older facades that previously occupied the site. This combination of retained heritage elements with new contemporary design marks a significant shift in how the area redeveloped.
Culture
The building reflects Mario Roberto Álvarez's approach to office design, blending practical work spaces with contemporary architectural forms. This style has become characteristic of how Buenos Aires's commercial district looks today.
Practical
The tower contains three basement levels with a public entry area and auditorium accessible to visitors on the ground floor. Upper floors are divided between regular office spaces and executive areas with restricted access.
Did you know?
Four main columns support the entire building's weight, allowing wide-open floor plans without interior support walls. This engineering approach lets each level be reconfigured based on tenant needs.
