Description
Architects:
• Mario Pani Darqui
• Ricardo De Robina

Developer: The Federal Government

Development through: Banco Nacional de Obras y Servicios Publicos (BANOBRAS)

The original facades was covered with marcolite panels that were totally replaced on the remodelation of 1980, a couple years later was reinforced into their foundations but was damaged on 85's earthquakes. Was repaired & reinforced again on 1989.

Info Warning: the source of building's heights says current are 65.8 meters tall, but that info is impossible for 24 floors (each level had at least 2.4m. free height but each retircular floor is at least 0.4 m. thick), main floor had more than 4.00 meters free height, 2 levels of penthouse and the height of machinery rooms at top makes impossible to consider precise his data.
