Description
Torre Fundadores will actually be a pair of towers arising from a common base building. The shorter tower is a standard, rectangular shape commonly seen among office towers. The taller tower is more architecturally unique, appearing as a twisted tower narrowing toward the top. The design does not call for significant spires or antennae.
The building will contain 23,000 m2 of office space and 12,000 m2 of retail space. The remainder will consist of 236 luxury apartments and enough overall residential space to house 8,000 residents.
The tower will also feature an underground parking garage with a capacity of 2,000 vehicles. [cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=74273|title=Fundadores|accessdate=2008-05-20|publisher=Skyscraperpage.com]
