In the vicinity of Plaza Félix Lima, between Arias, Ramallo, Cuba and Arcos, there is a notable movement of new works in development and others that are about to begin in the Núñez neighborhood

Núñez, a neighborhood in constant evolution, emerges as the favorite destination for a diverse range of residents looking for properties under construction of up to 5 rooms. Located in the north of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, it has recorded one of the most significant transformations in recent years, fusing the tradition of its old mansions and townhouses with a boom in new developments, several of them luxury for both residential and commercial use. commercial.

Along Avenida del Libertador, imposing buildings stand out, offering panoramic views of the River Plate. Although some of these buildings are residential, in recent times there has been notable progress in the construction of premium corporate towers, such as the emblematic buildings next to the Innovation Park, in front of the River Plate club.

The renovation panorama in Núñez is not limited only to new constructions that aspire to transform it into a new “Puerto Madero”. There is also a rebound in the used housing market, making this neighborhood one of the few where real estate values began to recover after a prolonged decline from 2018 to the end of 2023.

Emilio Fauro , of Fauro Propiedades, told Infobae that “this neighborhood witnessed a boom in the construction of high-end corporate buildings, driven by its proximity to General Paz Avenue and the arrival of large development companies. In the residential field, 3-room apartments in premium buildings are the most predominant, with a demand for units of 70 square meters or more.”

Currently, more than 20 developments are being built close to Del Libertador and Cabildo avenues that exceed investments of more than USD 250 million.

Characteristics

Despite the boom in low-rise constructions that coexist with residential houses and tree-lined boulevards, a quiet and green environment is maintained thanks to modifications in the Building Code. This area is characterized by premium developments that seek to integrate with the environment, offering apartments with house characteristics: private terraces, grills and individual pools.

“Most investors and residents, whether families, young professionals or investors, are inclined towards modern properties with amenities. Núñez offers comparative advantages, such as its connectivity with the northern area and the center of Buenos Aires, quiet streets, green spaces near the river, options for exercise and a wide gastronomic offer. In addition, it houses educational institutions and universities, with expectations of growth with the completion of the Innovation Park in the former Federal Tire,” explained Martín Pinus , of Martín Pinus Real Estate.

Unlike Palermo, where the tourist location predominates, Núñez is an option for traditional rentals.

Although a part of the traditional population of the neighborhood persists, the current demand for properties also comes from new residents who are increasingly demanding when choosing their home, prioritizing security and amenities.

Pinus added: “In addition to standard amenities like pools, grills and gyms, they are looking for additional amenities like bike spaces, micro-cinemas, children's play areas, infinity pools and panoramic views.”

Regarding the interior of the homes, the developers highlight that potential buyers prefer spacious, bright, integrated spaces, with reception areas, adequate storage, privacy in the bedrooms, courtesy bathrooms for guests and areas for teleworking.

In addition, they observe that there are those who seek the experience of living in a building with the style of a house, with private terraces, pools and grills, or even individual gardens. This trend, driven by the pandemic, was taken advantage of by developers in projects such as Casa Magna or Pentamodo with avant-garde units.

In parallel with residential development, advances in the construction of luxury corporate buildings are transforming the area. These developments, along with existing ones, are attracting large companies and business groups looking to establish or relocate their offices.

Focus of attraction

The creation of the Innovation Park consolidates the neighborhood as a focus of attraction for new residential, commercial and office projects that will seek to tempt startups.

Values

In Núñez, both new and existing homes stand out in the current real estate market.

Pablo Valencia Neira , of Valencia Neira Real Estate, said that “single-room or 2-room apartments resisted the fall better compared to larger units, especially those more recent. “The continued growth of this area suggests that this increase in value will be reflected in the market in the long term.”

In the price panorama, opportunities arise for various buyer profiles. Used apartments range from USD 1,800 to USD 2,000 per m2.

Expanding areas

Avenida del Libertador emerges as a focal point, housing high-end buildings and a growing presence of important corporate developments: some also call it “Catalinas del Norte.”

“Other in-demand arteries in the area are Arcos, Vuelta de Obligado, and those surrounding Plaza Félix Lima, such as Arias and Deheza,” said Chomer.

In terms of prospects, Núñez's growth is expected to expand further towards General Paz Avenue and the neighboring Saavedra neighborhood, where development opportunities still exist.

Martín Pinus concluded: “It is important to highlight that the modification of the Construction Code, which prohibits high-rise buildings in the Las Lomas area, contributes to preserving the identity and residential character of this area.”
