Torres Paseo Colón, Mixed-use towers in San José, Costa Rica.
Torres Paseo Colón is a modern complex with two high-rises located on Paseo Colón Avenue in San José. The towers reach 98 and 101 meters in height and house residential units, office spaces, and amenities including a fitness center and swimming pool.
The first stage of the complex was built from 2010 to 2012 and took 22 months; the second stage ran from 2013 to September 2014. Torre 2, with 29 floors and 126 housing units, became Costa Rica's first skyscraper. In February 2021 the towers lost the title of tallest building in the country when the DoubleTree Sabana by Hilton was completed.
The name comes from Paseo Colón, the avenue where the towers stand at the level of Calle 28.
