Description
Architect: Mario Pani Darqui / Ricardo de Robina

Complex of 3 adjacent buildings with 15 floors (Main, 13 residential, services, mechanical) The original modern facade was covered with marcolite panels, were totally replaced on the remodeling of 1980, a couple years later was reinforced into their foundations but was damaged on 85's earthquakes, on 1987 was reinforced for stabilization purposes with big new columns.

-The elevators only open every three floors (3,6,9,12).

Info Warning: the source of building's heights says current are 39.9 meters tall, but that info is impossible for 15-16 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.
