El Faro Towers
Tower Twin residential towers in Buenos Aires skyline
On Buenos Aires’ Puerto Madero waterfront, the twin El Faro Towers are residential high‑rises; visitors stroll the docks, photograph modern architecture and dine at nearby riverside restaurants.
The El Faro Towers are a pair of residential high-rise buildings located in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires. They are a visible element of the area’s redevelopment from former docks into high-density residential and commercial use.
Designed and built as luxury apartment towers, the buildings are primarily private residential property and are not generally open to the public. Their waterfront siting places them among the first cluster of high-rise apartment developments that reshaped Puerto Madero in the early 2000s.
The towers sit along the regenerated docklands near Avenida Juana Manso and the Puerto Madero docks, within walking distance of central Buenos Aires cultural and commercial areas.
- Location in Puerto Madero: Sited in the Puerto Madero district, the towers sit close to the docks and major avenues and are part of the early 21st-century high-rise residential development of the former port area.
What to See #
- Twin towers: Two closely paired residential towers forming a prominent part of the Puerto Madero skyline and named collectively as modern luxury apartment buildings in the redeveloped docklands.
How to Get to El Faro Towers #
Puerto Madero is within walking distance of Retiro train station and the city centre. From Plaza de Mayo it is a 15-25 minute walk along Avenida Leandro N. Alem and the waterfront promenades.
Tips for Visiting El Faro Towers #
- Walk the Puerto Madero waterfront at dusk to see El Faro's silhouette against restored docks and reflected water-there's no public observation deck but the towers define the neighborhood skyline.
- Combine a visit with the nearby Reserva Ecológica and Puente de la Mujer for a single, pleasant walk through Puerto Madero.
Best Time to Visit El Faro Towers #
Best appreciated from the Puerto Madero boardwalk in the city's mild spring and autumn months; towers are residential, so views are external.
