La Casona, Residential tower in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
La Casona is a 27-story residential tower standing about 127 m tall in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The building houses apartments in its upper levels while its ground and lower floors contain commercial spaces, a minimarket, and retail stores.
The building was constructed between 2007 and 2009 and briefly held the title of Bolivia's tallest structure. By 2013 it lost this distinction when another tower in La Paz became taller.
La Casona stands on Avenida Cristóbal de Mendoza, the avenue Santa Cruz residents call the Segundo Anillo, in the city's central sector. Its mixed use reflects local practice: offices and shops occupy the lower floors, a minimarket serves the building, and most of the 27 floors are apartments.
La Casona stands on Avenida Cristóbal de Mendoza, the Segundo Anillo, in the central sector of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The mixed-use tower keeps offices, a minimarket and shops on its lower floors, with housing above. Visitors reach the ground-level commercial spaces directly from the avenue; the upper floors are residential and not open to the public.
La Casona was Bolivia's tallest building for a short period, until La Paz's 138 m Torre Girasoles surpassed it in 2013. It now ranks as the second tallest in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, after Torre Platinum II, and sixth in the country. Its 127 m height is measured to the antenna.
