YPF tower

The YPF Tower is a postmodern office building in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, standing 160 meters (525 feet) tall across 34 floors with a geometric design of overlapping square and triangular shapes. The structure houses office spaces and includes extensive facilities for staff and visitors.

The tower opened in 2008, marking a turning point when the old port area of Puerto Madero began transforming into a modern business district. This shift represented a broader renewal effort that gave new life to what had been industrial waterfront spaces.

The building reflects how Buenos Aires embraces modernity in its workplace design. Visitors can see how the architects chose to bring greenery into the office spaces, showing that cities can mix commerce with nature.

The building is equipped with modern facilities and sits in an area well-served by public transport. Keep in mind this is a private office building with limited public access, so visiting the interior may not be possible without prior arrangement.

The ground floor lobby spans the entire width of the building, surrounded by glass walls that reveal an interior winter garden from every side. This open design allows passersby outside to catch glimpses of the planted spaces within without stepping inside.
