A mixed-use development, the 54-story, 70,000 m2 (753,000 sq ft) building will include 175 condominiums totalling 34,000 m2 (366,000 sq ft), as well as a five star hotel. The building's residential floor plans are notable for their variety - ranging from 100 m (330 ft) to 500 m (1,600 ft) - as well as their 3.3 m (11 ft) ceilings.[1]

Its development is taking place on a 7,000 m2 (75,300 sq ft) lot sold by Grupo Chateau (the local builders of the neighboring Château Puerto Madero Residence) for US$35 million to Madrid-based developer Rayet for the construction of the Hotel Único Buenos Aires. Originally scheduled to open at the end of 2010, the Único Hotel project was canceled. Rayet sold the lot to Anglo-Argentine developer, David Sutton, the proprietor of the Alvear Palace Hotel, on March 5, 2010.[2] The Alvear Tower is budgeted at US$130 million; construction started in March 2012 and is scheduled for completion in late 2017.[3]
