Edificio Panamericana Plaza, Corporate office building in Saavedra, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Edificio Panamericana Plaza, originally Torre Lloyd's, is a 94-metre office tower at the corner of Tronador and Vedia streets in Saavedra, with 11,900 m² of floor space. Its facade carries a large advertising sign that first displayed the Lloyds TSB bank logo, later passed to the mobile phone company Personal and is now contracted by the consultancy Randstad.
The tower was originally named Torre Lloyd's, after the bank Lloyds TSB, whose advertising sign topped the building. When that company left Argentina, the sign was contracted by the mobile phone company Personal and later by the consultancy Randstad. The building stands at Tronador and Vedia in Saavedra, about 50 metres from the General Paz and Panamericana junction.
The tower appears in episode 7 of the second season of 'Los Simuladores', the Argentine series about a team of con artists, standing in for the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. The building's office-tower look made it a stand-in for a US federal building.
The building sits about 50 metres from the junction of Avenida General Paz and the Panamericana motorway, and the DOT Baires Shopping centre is roughly 200 metres away. Bus lines 15, 21, 28, 57, 60, 71, 76, 110, 117 and 130 serve the area. Estación Luis María Saavedra, on the Retiro-Mitre branch of the Ferrocarril General Bartolomé Mitre, is about 10 blocks (1,000 metres) away.
The billboard on the tower has changed hands twice: it first carried the Lloyds TSB bank logo, passed to the mobile phone company Personal after the bank left Argentina, and is now contracted by the consultancy Randstad. The building also stood in for the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. in episode 7 of the second season of 'Los Simuladores'.
