Im not that often in Santiago, maybe it s something special there, but in the capital this is just one more building of which we have already too many

JD, I go to the balcony to sun dry the clothes. Sometimes when a friend comes over we take the chairs out and sip a drink on a fresh air. Why would I want to hang around the balcony during the day?

Maybe a lot of people are like me and don't really like heights that much. My sister lives in one of those high rises in Santo Domingo (top floor) very nice views of The Caribbean, etc...but it gives me the willies to sit on her balcony separated from an 8 story fall to the ground by some panes of glass.

Nice looking rendering. Had some friends who lived in that neighborhood for a while, and I'm sure it'll make a fine addition to the area.

Single family homes are quickly being purchased to demolish them and erect towers soon after... The resulting density is going to create a huge headache for traffic and services. The only sector that will love this new denser community are biz at large. Those two close together Malls like Bella Terra and Plaza will ring in the biz like flies to candy...
