Torre Alem Plaza, Office building in Catalinas Norte, Retiro district, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Torre Alem Plaza is an office building in the Retiro district featuring a dark glass curtain wall and gold-framed entry porticos. The structure shares a connected hall with an adjacent building, creating an integrated business complex.
Consultatio S.A., owned by Eduardo Costantini, commissioned the Peralta Ramos studio (SEPRA) to design Alem Plaza as a twin of the 1995 Catalinas Plaza, with five extra office floors. Obras Civiles S.A. built it, and work finished in late 1998. On 19 May, six workers died when they fell in a hoist from the 24th floor; the accident led to a union strike and a court case that delayed completion.
Torre Alem Plaza and Torre Catalinas Plaza were built by the same developer, Consultatio S.A. of Eduardo Costantini, and share a single entrance hall. The complex stands in Catalinas Norte, a business district in Retiro. Consultatio kept 17 and a half floors of Alem Plaza to rent out, while CBRE marketed the rest.
The building provides parking across two basement levels and features commercial spaces on the ground floor. The complex is easily accessible and well-connected to the surrounding streets of the business district.
Each of the 31 office floors spans 900 square meters, while the ground level houses a bank branch and a restaurant within its 863 square meters.
