Where is located Puerto Madero? |
|
Puerto Madero is bordered significantly by the Rio de la Plata; it also borders the
neighborhoods of San Telmo, Monserrat, San Nicolas, and Retiro.
(Buenos Aires, Argentina) |
| |
| What is the History of Puerto Madero? |
|
In 1882 engineer and civil servant Eduardo Madero’s design project was chosen amongst
many others for the Port of Buenos Aires. Once completed this port was the scene of the
massive immigrant arrivals that took place in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century.
The edifice complex, located on the north harbor was devoted to the reception of
immigrants. Today this complex has been converted into a museum called EX GRAN HOTEL
DE IMIGRANTES. Puerto Madero and its buildings were virtually abandoned when the new
port (Puerto Nuevo) was built just a short distance north. Puerto Madero remained in
deserted dismay until the 1990’s when a complete renovation process began to be
implemented. The “new” Puerto Madero exudes radiance as the most cosmopolitan barrio of
the city. |
| |
|
Is it Puerto Madero a Safe neighborhood? |
|
Puerto Madero is controlled by “Corporación Puerto Madero”, a private jurisdiction separate
from the Federal Police of Buenos Aires. This corporation has its principal office located in
the center of Puerto Madero, and their presence is known and seen at all times. This makes
Puerto Madero the safest and most secure neighborhood of the city. |

The most exclusive restaurants in Buenos Aires line the docks that form Puerto Madero.
Most of these restaurants transform into chic bars and pubs when the night falls. Many
places in Puerto Madero are chains of elite places such as ASIA DE CUBA and OPERA BAY.
There are also several American chain restaurants like TGI FRIDAYS and HOOTERS. Puerto
Madero is also the home of many places to dine on the famous Argentinean steak. CABAÑA
LAS LILAS, SIGA LA VACA and RODIZIO are excellent choices, and these are just a FEW of
the many first class eateries that contour the river. There is also an abundant selection of
international cuisine, such as the Italian restaurant IL GATTO. The Hilton Hotel is also in
Puerto Madero and houses the exclusive restaurant EL FARO. |

Enjoying a coffee or tea at an outside table looking over the river is very nice day or night.
There are always people walking or exercising along the docks of Puerto Madero, so it is
always a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
It is difficult to find many kiosks or supermarkets directly in Puerto Madero, but since it is so
close to downtown, San Telmo, and Recoleta, finding everything you need is never a
problem. |

|
Most of the places that function as restaurants during the day in this area become bars and
pubs when the night comes, and are mostly visited by tourists because they are very
expensive. In any case the nightlife in Puerto Madero is usually a tad limited. There is also
the floating casino in Puerto Madero, (the only casino in Buenos Aires), and it brings a lot of
tourists to the area. The casino is built in a boat because it is forbidden to have a casino
inside of the city. |

|
What is the evolution on real estate experienced changes in the last decade? |
|
In the 2000s the restoration process continued and more hotels, offices and apartment
buildings, both low rise and high-rise have been built.
Recently, development has started in the last undeveloped part of the neighborhood, the
east side of Dock 1, where infrastructure has been set and first buildings are rising,
According to current plans Dock 1 will not have high rises because of height limitations of
about 20 stories. |
