Description
Architect: Mario Pani Darqui / Ricardo de Robina

Originally built with 16 floors (Main, 13 residential, services, mechanical). The original facade was covered with macolite panels that were totally replaced on the renovation of 1980, a couple years later was reinforced into their foundations but was damaged on 85's earthquakes, in 1987 was reinforced & partially demolished for stabilization purposes, now only have 11 floors (Main,9 residential,mechanical).

Info Warning: Arq. Santiago Jordá Salazar (who is the source of building's heights) says current are 29.4 meters tall, but that info is impossible for 11 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, and the height of machinery rooms at top makes impossible to consider precise his data.
