Torre Cuscatlán, San Salvador

Torre Cuscatlán is one of the tallest buildings in San Salvador, El Salvador. Finished in 1989, it is 79 meters high and has 19 floors. Ricardo Jiménez Castillo, who is considered one of the most representative architects of El Salvador, was in charge of the building's design. It is influenced by modern style, using a complete glass cladding for the exterior. The main characteristic of its design is the 3 setbacks covered with plants that run along with the height of the building. The materials used to construct the tower were aluminum, reinforced concrete, and glass. Some people believe that the tower was inspired by Willis Tower in Chicago, United States, but there is no data to confirm this. As of 2022, It is currently the 3rd tallest building in El Salvador. The building was the tallest in El Salvador, until 2009 when the Torre Cuscatlán lost the title to the Tower Pedregal, which then lost the title to Torre Millenium in 2021. ()
