Centro de Comercio Internacional, Commercial skyscraper in Bogotá, Colombia.
The Centro de Comercio Internacional is a skyscraper in Bogotá that rises 192 meters with a glass exterior and distinctive vertical window lines running across both sides. The building contains 50 floors filled with office spaces and serves as a major commercial hub in the downtown area.
This structure was completed in 1977 and stood as the tallest building in Latin America at that time. The record lasted until the Torre Colpatria was later constructed and surpassed it.
The tower opened in 1977 as Centro de las Américas and only took the name Centro de Comercio Internacional in the mid-1980s. Its upper signage rights passed from Bancafé (formerly Banco Cafetero) to Davivienda. Today it houses the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Bancoldex, ProColombia and the National Copyright Directorate.
The building is located near 28th Street in downtown Bogotá and is accessible by public transportation. With 17 elevators serving the structure, moving between floors is straightforward for those exploring the area.
The tower rests on four reinforced concrete columns, the outer two forming diagonal screens that shape its silhouette, plus a central structural core. Its lower platform houses the Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada Convention Center. The Davivienda bank bought the naming rights once held by Bancafé, so the tower is also called Torre Davivienda.
