The Point, Panama City, Residential skyscraper in Punta Paitilla, Panama.
The Point is a residential tower in the Punta Paitilla waterfront district featuring 67 stories above ground plus 5 basement levels. Each apartment ranges from 480 to 825 square meters and includes marble floors, high ceilings, and Italian cabinetry.
Construction began in 2006 and the building was completed in 2011 as the tallest structure in Latin America at that time. The project marked a turning point in Panama's skyline and prompted further modern development in the region.
The name comes from its site at the tip of Punta Paitilla, a point of land facing the Bay of Panama. The tower is a reference on the city's skyline and is visible from almost anywhere in Panama City, so it often serves as a landmark for orientation. Its 67 floors hold one or two apartments each, a layout tied to the high-end residential market that grew in the city in the 2000s.
The building sits in a developed waterfront neighborhood and is easily accessible, with each floor containing only one or two residential units. The low number of units per floor means less traffic in shared areas and greater privacy for residents.
Only one or two apartments per floor each offer 270-degree views across the city and toward the Pacific Ocean. This limited number of units per floor is uncommon for a tower of this height and scale.
