Torres del Poeta (Spanish for Poet Towers) is a mixed-use skyscraper complex in La Paz, Bolivia. Built between 2012 and 2018, the complex consists of four towers of which twin towers C and D are the tallest, standing at 150m (490feet) tall with 36, respectively 34 floors. Tower D is the current second tallest building in Bolivia.[2]
The Torres del Poeta real estate initiative was initiated in 2012 and is situated on Arce Avenue, facing Plaza Isabel la Católica in La Paz. The blocks can additionally be reached through Avenida del Poeta. The four towers are constructed above a common platform which consists of parking levels and a business district.[3]
Tower A, located nearest to Arce Avenue, is the only building of the complex to feature ten stories designated for offices. Every level encompasses an area of 500sigfig=3NaNsigfig=3. The tower was the first of the complex to be finished and was inaugurated in September 2015.[4] Ramiro Muñoz Moyano, the project's architect in chief, mentioned that Tower B features offices across 19 levels and was initially planned to sit centrally within the complex. Main entry to these floors are available through the commercial areas and the parking garages. Tower B houses a total of 66 rentable office spaces.[5]
The executive stated that buildings C and D contain 200 apartment units. Tower C consists of 25 floors of apartments, while Tower D will feature 23 levels of the same function. The primary construction of the two main towers was completed in 2016 and the complex itself was inaugurated in 2018.[6]
The development was intended to showcase residential apartments, office spaces, banking facilities, a retail center, parking areas, a childcare facility, a supermarket, and landscaped areas. The building site started functioning through a coalition of private investors and was responsible for providing 204 apartments, 74 offices, 74 retail spaces, and over 700 parking spots, alongside a food court and landscaped areas.[7]
