We do love our super-talls and this development for us is a real special - Los Faros de Panama, which means ‘Panama’s Lighthouses’ is to be a triple-tower, mixed-use super-tall Panamian development located in the Punta Pacífica area of Panama City.

The architect behind this very impressive development Chapman Taylor was also privileged to have this building located in a strategic location that overlooks the Panama Canal and bay area. The huge complex spans over a massive 3.3-hectare site with 3 distinct towers rising from a single podium.

Torres Central, the central 84-storey tower which would stand at an intimidating 346 metres (1,135 feet) would not only be the tallest of the three towers, but one of South America’s tallest structures.

The other two towers; Torre Oeste & Torre Este (the West & East towers) would both be slightly smaller than Torres Central but would still each be 73 storey building rising up to a huge 290 metres (951 feet).

According to the developers’ Grupo Mall Los Faros would be an eco-friendly project using, solar and wind energy (although it was not stated to what amount).
