Overview

Alcorta Shopping is a shopping mall located in the Palermo Chico area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It occupies a full city block bounded by Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and the streets Jerónimo Salguero, Cavia, and Chonino. The mall was designed in 1989 by architects Raúl Lier and Alberto Tonconogy for the firm New Shopping, and it opened in 1992 under the name Paseo Alcorta. That same year, the architects received the Annual Architecture Prize 1992 for Best Commercial Building from the Professional Council of Architecture and Urbanism (CPAU) and the Central Society of Architects (SCA). In June 1997, the mall was acquired by Sociedad Anónima Mercado de Abasto Proveedor (Samap), a company integrated by Grupo Said and Grupo IRSA, led by Eduardo Elsztain. In 2013, it was renamed Alcorta Shopping. The mall features 112 retail stores, 1,300 parking spaces, 2 cinema screens, and a Carrefour hypermarket. In 2022, as part of a renovation of its dining offerings, it closed its food court and opened a high-end restaurant on its terrace. Since 2022, Alcorta has positioned itself as a lifestyle shopping destination with three main pillars: Fashion, Gastronomy, and Beauty. It offers a mix of premium and mainstream brands, along with differentiated services and events. The mall is located near several recreational and cultural spaces, including the KDT Circuit, the Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires, and the Galileo Galilei Planetarium. Adjacent to the mall is the Le Parc Figueroa Alcorta tower complex, inaugurated in 2009, which includes Torre Cavia, the tallest building in Argentina at the time of its inauguration.
