Buenos Aires

PUERTO MADERO

This district is located downtown by the river. It was born from the restoration of the old docks and warehouses that shaped the old Buenos Aires harbour. For its proximity to downtown, it rapidly became a tourist centre. Its 16 buildings, surrounding the docks, concentrate a variety of luxurious restaurants and modern office buildings.

The old port
Around 1880 Argentina was an exporter/importer country of manufactured products. At this time the harbour was built according to engineer Eduardo Madero’s project. The construction lasted more than 10 years and a lot of money was invested. Buenos Aires has always been related to the Port. That is why its inhabitants are called “porteños”.

Malecón Building
Dock 1 Built in 1999, the project was directed by one of the most important architecture studios in the United States. This is an office tower comprising twelve floors. A great commercial center.
