Torres ECHO, Modern skyscraper in Guatemala City, Guatemala
Torres ECHO is a residential complex of two luxury apartment towers, 96 and 89 metres tall, at 18 Calle 2-22, Zona 14, Guatemala City. The towers rise 23 and 21 floors above five underground parking levels, with a double-height lobby, two amenity floors and a 19th-floor social area with pool and rooftop bar. It was designed by Doble Altura - Siekkavizza Arquitectos, developed by Europlaza Group, with interiors by Velso Studio.
Echo was launched in January 2018, with excavation beginning that June; its final heights of 96 and 89 metres were announced in December 2020 and the complex was delivered in 2021. It was designed by Doble Altura - Siekkavizza Arquitectos, developed by Europlaza Group, with interiors by Velso Studio. Approved in 2017, the new permitted heights let Echo rise past 90 metres near La Aurora airport's approach cone.
Echo takes its name from the Greek nymph of mythology, a reference chosen by developer Europlaza Group for the residential complex. The two towers stand at 18 Calle 2-22, Zona 14, a district of Guatemala City known for its embassies, restaurants and gated residential compounds. Their rooftop bar and level-19 social area are reserved for residents.
Echo stands at 18 Calle 2-22, Zona 14, Guatemala City, a residential complex rather than a public building, so visits are limited to residents and their guests. The towers hold five underground parking levels, and the social area with pool and rooftop bar sits on floor 19. The site lies within the approach cone of La Aurora International Airport.
Echo was among the first residential complexes in Zona 14 to exceed 90 metres after Guatemala's civil aviation authority approved new height limits in 2017, setting a precedent for towers inside the approach cone of La Aurora International Airport.
