Edificio Bencich on Avenida Córdoba, Residential building at Avenida Córdoba and Esmeralda, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Edificio Bencich on Avenida Córdoba is a 1927 residential building by French architect Eduardo Le Monnier, occupying 832 m² at the northwest corner of Avenida Córdoba and Esmeralda. It is split into three blocks entered at Córdoba 807, 817 and 827, each with its own lift and spiral staircase, rising 13 upper floors above ground-floor shops. Its red-toned domed towers, one crowned by a pinnacle, carry apartments; from the seventh floor the facade steps back under avenue height rules.

French architect Eduardo Le Monnier designed this structure for the Bencich brothers construction company, completing it in 1927. The building reflected the housing development boom occurring along Avenida Córdoba during that period.

The poet Alfonsina Storni lived in an apartment in the block entered at Córdoba 807, and a plaque at that doorway records it. The Bencich brothers' firm kept the whole building as rental property until Argentina adopted horizontal property law, so early tenants like Storni rented rather than owned.

The building is easily accessible from Avenida Córdoba, with three separate entrances making it simple to navigate the different sections. The ground-floor commercial areas are open during regular business hours.

The facade steps back progressively starting from the seventh floor, a feature resulting from strict height regulations imposed on Avenida Córdoba. This distinctive architectural element becomes particularly apparent when viewing the structure from certain angles.
