History

Architecture

The complex of buildings is located in the northeast of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. It is planned to build 8 towers in total, of which five are already built. Due to the construction of these towers, the area becomes a different place from the city center for the installation of new companies arriving in Colombia.[4]

The Barrancas and Sierras del Moral quarries in the town of Usaquén were located in the area where this business complex is being developed. The project developers Rafael, Jairo and Guillermo Rincón decided to recover the site in order to be able to use it and exploit it commercially. On site, a morphological recovery was carried out in which the hills ruined by the exploitation of the quarries were converted into terraces to avoid landslides, then biological - ecological care was carried out with the planting of plants and grass.[5]
