Before leaving Buenos Aires you could see several buildings and other places of interest

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

 

The Buenos Aires version of the Empire State Building is the Kavanagh building.
Built at the intersection of the posh Florida and San Martin streets, facing the gorgeous Retiro Park, this construction carried on by Sanchez, Lagos and De la Torre is an Ode to Modern times. This building was Latin America’s first skyscraper, and the tallest concrete built construction for several decades.
The project of building a massive Art Deco homage came from the wealthy society woman Corina Kavanagh, daughter of an Argentine magnate. When embarking in the project, Ms Kavanagh sold all her assets and invested in a visionary project, hoping to make an aesthetic statement in the city of the good airs. And there’s no doubt she achieved it, even in a way she might have never dreamt of. The building has become one of Buenos Aires trademark constructions, an aesthetic reference, and of course a coveted, sought after investment.
Built in 1936, this rent controlled condo offered its inhabitants the finest of the world’s comfort cultural and technological wise. The idea of assuring the owners a great variety of “hanging gardens” landscaped in the many terraces at different heights and orientations, adds a magnificent appeal.

Over half a century has gone by since The Kavanagh was built, and this architectural and cultural protected historical building is still charming locals and foreigners from around the globe. There’s no greater and profitable cultural architectural investment in the city than acquiring your BA home at the Kavanagh.
Whether it’s easy and inexpensive… well, there’s no doubt that neither is really and option. Finding an owner willing to sell their property at the Kavanagh is an intelligence task, however, when found it’s deeply rewarding.
Price wise, while most properties in Buenos Aires are based on a sq meter cost calculation, the Kavanagh does not adjust that much into that valuating modality.
