History

Designed by Paraguayan engineer Santiago Benítez Vieira, the building is located in the new economic district of Asunción and has a total of 200 loft-type apartment units with penthouses, terraces and ground-level commercial spaces.
The building's construction site lays on the Molas López Avenue near the Juan XXIII Street. The project's main partner was the Cecom company who acted as a strategic construction ally. The deadline of the project was 40 months from the groundbreaking as the tower was architecturally topped out at the beginning of 2025. The cost of the project rose to $ 18 million and was designed as a hub for spacious areas accessible to the local market and also aiming to feature a 360 degree view of the city.
According to Carlos Guasti, the president of the developer company Petra Urbana, the building is part of a larger estate project initiated by the latter, which also included towers Petra Icon and Forvm Molas.
