In the Libertador corridor, the area that is close to Capital is the one with the most developments and the highest price per square meter

Incredibly huge. This is what the Río de la Plata looks like from the 12th floor of a building located in the Libertador corridor , in Puerto de Olivos, which is also part of the landscape. It is a bright day and the blue of a cloudless sky offers its best contrast with the color of the water. Logically, the overall architectural design - large balconies, similar windows - takes advantage of the location which, from what we see, is truly privileged.

When the exclusivity of the Libertador corridor is referred to , almost first of all, these types of descriptions appear: dream landscapes that can only be found on the first line of the river . This represents one of the real estate areas with the greatest demand for those looking for a property.

The new projects necessarily enhance them and, adding investment, design and materials, they are presented as the most aspirational in the northern area . And yes: supply grows exactly there, in that segment, since demand continues to lose its activity.

It is an initiative located meters from the river, on a 3,600 m² plot of land: a 17-story tower on Libertador and a low five-story building on Juan Carlos Cruz street, with another 60-meter front.

Area under the magnifying glass​

Both Tenjeiro, Achaval and Ludmer agree: the milestone that marked the takeoff of the area was the road corridor.
