On the edge of Montserrat there are four blocks that are changing the face of the neighborhood with new real estate projects
In a radius of four neighboring blocks, a new area of real estate boom is born in the city of Buenos Aires. In an environment of neighborhood tradition and historic architecture, three large-scale projects are confined between the blocks delimited by Belgrano, Huergo, Paseo Colón and México Street avenues, on the edge of the Monserrat neighborhood . This, without a doubt, will modify the environment with the resurgence of a new neighborhood: younger, newer, more vibrant.
The most innovative is the former Editorial Atlántida building, a construction more than 100 years old on the corner of México and Azopardo , where the company landed in 1925 with 200 collaborators and in its years of splendor 1,200 people worked. After almost a century of residing there, last year the publishing house moved to the La Algodonera building, in Colegiales . But since they refused to abandon the building that saw them tell their story, they partnered with the developer Ha and invested US$25 million to convert the building into a mixed-use one.
The original building of Editorial Atlántida, more than 100 years old
The Grand Atlántida project that will enhance the façade and grow in meters in height with six floors
In detail, in the original part of the property where the editorial offices of the magazines Gente, El Grafico, Para Ti and Billiken once operated, there will be three varieties of typologies. On the first floor where the photography studio operated, there will be 10 two-room duplexes from 66 to 126 m². On the second floor where the administration, systems and human resources offices were located - among others - there will be 11 studio apartments of 43 to 56 m².
Due to the unevenness that was generated in the building after the construction of the annex, the fourth floor will not exist as such, just as in the United States the 13th floor does not exist in some buildings. Next, on the fifth level there will be three three-room duplexes from 136 to 265 m², all with their own terrace. Meanwhile, the six new floors in height that will reach number 11 will have 36 three-room units built in more modern architecture from 110 to 161 m².
There will be duplexes that will have windows from the original construction
The high-rise apartments will have views of Puerto Madero
The interior of the apartments will transmit the stately spirit of the building with its moldings and materials
There will be three duplexes with their own terraces
Pre-sale values start at US$2,500 per square meter and its developers hope that the final square meter will sell above its brand-new neighboring products. The stipulated 25 months of construction marks the maximum period for which financing will be given with installments pesified and adjusted by CAC or in dollars and an advance payment of 30%.
“Since we arrived with the company we had the objective of putting this asset to proper use and now, with the project, we want to maintain the reflected history of the publishing house,” said Juan Astibia, director of Editorial Atlántida. With this goal in mind and in line with the historical protection demanded by the city , key parts of the building will be maintained, such as the classicist style façade with the wrought iron doors, the main marble stairs, some of the original floors. pine tree and almost the entire third floor where the board of directors, administrative offices and Billiken functioned in its last days.
On this level, highlighted by the checkerboard floor illuminated by the stained glass window - the company's emblem - that lets in daylight, residents will find some of the amenities such as a historical library of the publishing house, the gym , entertainment room , workspace , swimming pool , media room and members club with special access to events and samples.
Furthermore, so that the publisher maintains the link it has with the building, it will occupy one of the office spaces with its innovation laboratory. “Atlántida is going to return to Azopardo, and it will coincide with two of the main newsrooms that historically worked there, which are Gente and Para Ti,” said Astibia. As for the rest of the spaces to be occupied, the developers hope that “clients aligned with the publisher's profile, such as content or audiovisual, will settle there to respect the personality of the building,” although they are not closed to other areas.

The works are already underway and are expected to take 25 months.
Offices and shared work spaces will also be offered
The common spaces and amenities are varied for eating, training, swimming, working or relaxing.
The building will have a library for its neighbors
“There are six blocks that could well be compared to the famous Tribeca in New York ,” says Ignacio Aldazabal, president of HA Emprendimientos, the development company. That American neighborhood is known for its old industrial buildings, most of which have been transformed into residential lofts. As on the edge of the dock in Puerto Madero, in the North American city you can find modern restaurants and venues. “I think that a neighborhood that is just getting started is going to be built and in a few years we will be able to see the transformation,” he comments.
This is what the two towers of the Quartier del Bajo project will look like
Atlántida is not the only new project in the area. Opposite, the second of the luxury towers of the Quartier del Bajo project is under construction . Each of the towers will have 26 floors and separated by a gray plaza, they are developed by Argencons and will require a total estimated investment of US$80 million . The first tower is almost ready, all sold and has a delivery date for the end of 2023.
Meanwhile, the second tower is just in the process of waterproofing the subfloors, it is 92% sold and they estimate that it could be delivered in July 2025, just a month before the delivery date of its neighbor across the street Grand Atlantis. In this project, per square meter is sold for US$2,800.
One block towards Belgrano Avenue, the construction of the new Consultatio building, called Huergo 475, is advanced . With the goal of being delivered by January 2025, the US$67 million project will have 38 floors with one- to three-room units , 1,500 m² of amenities and 2,800 m² of space. With more than 75% of the project sold, the units that have not yet found a buyer are selling for US$3,900 per square meter.
This will be the modern facade of Huergo 475
The peculiarity is that the amenities will be on different floors so that the neighbors can explore the building at height with each activity and enjoy all the possible views, such as this athletics track at the top.
There will be many spaces to socialize because it is designed for a young target
The interior of a studio apartment
There is also an important journalistic footprint in those blocks. The workshops of the newspaper La Prensa have operated at Azopardo 715 since 1935, founded in 1889 by José C. Paz, and in 1988 its editorial office moved there. The Buenos Aires Herald newspaper was also based on Azopardo until 2008. More than 10 years later, the Herald building changed its function and since this February it has 2,200 square meters of storage for new residents of the area who need to store their belongings.

Where typewriter keyboards once burned
With a boutique concept, the Grand Atlántida project, which pays homage to the publishing house in its name, includes 61 residences, nine office spaces with independent access and two commercial premises. Thus, the pre-existing 9,732 square meters will become the final 16,348 m², with the high-rise construction of six extra floors. The expansion also extends downwards, as a second basement floor will be added to accommodate 36 garages and a pet-friendly laundry room.In detail, in the original part of the property where the editorial offices of the magazines Gente, El Grafico, Para Ti and Billiken once operated, there will be three varieties of typologies.

The area that is booming
One of the incentives that contribute to the growth of the area is its proximity to key points of interest. A few blocks away you can access several universities - such as the Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA), the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and the Universidad del Cine -, steps from the renovated Paseo del Bajo, the neighborhood with the most expensive property values in the city (Puerto Madero), tourist sites such as the Puente de la Mujer, cultural spaces, a varied gastronomic offer and the ecological reserve.“There are six blocks that could well be compared to the famous Tribeca in New York ,” says Ignacio Aldazabal, president of HA Emprendimientos, the development company.
