All of the units in one of the towers are reserved, and 30 percent are reserved in the other tower. The development is expected to open in 2019.

“I’m extremely pleased to launch a project in my hometown,” Perez said in a prepared statement. “I can say with confidence that we share President Obama’s positive outlook on Argentina and that the time to once again invest in Argentina is here.”

Miami-based Piero Lissoni will create interior designs for the project’s public spaces and furnished suites. Swiss architect Enzo Enea will design the landscaping, and Argentina-based VMA is the project’s local architect.
