Gran Torre Costanera Building

Address: Avenida Andrés Bello, Las Condes, Santiago (Gran Torre Costanera / Costanera Center)

Gran Torre Costanera is a high-rise office tower in Santiago’s northeastern business district and the tallest skyscraper in Chile. The tower forms part of the larger Costanera Center complex that includes extensive retail space.

The building is notable for its height of roughly 300 metres and for dominating the local skyline; the lower levels connect directly to one of Chile’s largest shopping malls and to nearby transport routes. The complex mixes commercial, office and retail functions rather than being a purely residential tower.

The tower was completed in the 2010s as the centerpiece of the Costanera Center development and has since been one of Santiago’s most prominent modern structures. It was developed as part of a large commercial project to concentrate shopping and office space in the city’s financial area.

Gran Torre Costanera sits in the Las Condes / Providencia area of Santiago within the Santiago Metropolitan Region and is readily visible from many parts of the city.

• Height: The skyscraper stands at roughly 300 metres and is the tallest building in Chile and the tallest in Latin America by roof height.
• Location: Located in Santiago’s northeastern business district, the tower forms a visible part of the city’s skyline and is adjacent to a major shopping centre and transport links.

What to See#

• Costanera Center complex: A mixed-use complex that includes retail, offices and the tower itself, with a large multi-level shopping mall at its base that is one of the largest in Chile.

Take the Santiago Metro Line 1 (red) to either Tobalaba (Line 1/Line 4 interchange) or El Golf stations; Tobalaba is the closest major interchange. From Tobalaba it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to Costanera Center along Avenida Andrés Bello/Apoquindo to the tower entrance.

By car the Gran Torre Costanera sits roughly 6-8 km east of Santiago’s Plaza de Armas; approach via Avenida Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins (the Alameda) eastbound and connect to Avenida Andrés Bello. There is commercial parking at the Costanera Center complex.

• Visit Sky Costanera early on weekday mornings (shortly after opening) for the clearest views of Santiago and the Andes and to avoid the larger sunset crowds that queue for timed slots.
• Buy a timed-entry Sky Costanera ticket online in advance and use the Sky Costanera entrance inside the Costanera Center mall to skip the general mall visitor lines.
• If visibility matters, plan your visit for a day after rainfall or when the Air Quality Index is low-Santiago's views improve noticeably after clearing events.
