El Faro Towers, Twin residential towers in Puerto Madero, Argentina.
El Faro Towers is a residential complex of two interconnected towers in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires. Each tower rises 160 meters over 46 floors, with walls and structural support of reinforced concrete and symmetrically arranged glass windows. Four sky bridges link the towers at different levels, and the top bridge on floor 46 holds a lounge and viewing room facing the river.
The complex was built during Puerto Madero's earliest development phase, with the first tower completed in 2003 and the second in 2005. This project helped transform the old port district from neglected industrial land into a residential destination.
The name El Faro means "the lighthouse", a reference to the towers' role as a landmark on the Puerto Madero waterfront. The complex was designed by the studio of Berardo Dujovne, Silvia Hirsch and María Dujovne, and built by Ingeplam S.A. Groups campaigning for the nearby Ecological Reserve objected to the project's approval.
The two buildings house about 160 apartments with amenities like outdoor pools, spa facilities, and gyms distributed throughout. Public walkways around the site make it easy to explore the waterfront neighborhood on foot.
Only the top sky bridge, at floor 46, holds the living room and lookout with river views; the other three bridges are plain links. The complex also has a tennis court and solarium, and the towers were first planned at 170 m with 48 floors before being built at 160 m and 46 floors.
