Atrio

Atrio is a major mixed-use commercial development in central Bogotá comprising two towers – North and South – with a large, open public space at ground level.

At 42 floors (201 metres) and 58 floors (268 metres) high respectively, the towers provide a total of more than 250,000 m² of office space, public services and retail with up to 72,000 people expected to pass through each day.

Together with an additional 10,000 m² of public space, which constitutes two thirds of the whole site area, the development is an important step in the regeneration of the area known as Centro Internacional, bringing new business, tourism, public transport and culture to city’s former business district.

The project delivery is in two phases, with the first building Atrio North Tower creating more than 50,000 m² of flexible office space, 4,600 m² of public services and 1,800 m² of retail. Construction of the first phase began in December 2014 with preliminary excavations and was completed in January 2020.

A significant project deliverable is effective knowledge sharing between the international and Colombian firms, and RSHP is working closely with local architectural practice El Equipo de Mazzanti to ensure skills are transferred locally.
