Historic Colegio San Andrés site in Olivos to become luxury residential complex

A significant residential development is set to transform the historic grounds of the Colegio San Andrés in Olivos, Argentina, marking the end of an era for the prestigious bilingual institution founded in 1838.

The property, located at Nogoyá 550, will be redeveloped with an investment of US$150 million. The master plan envisions three residential towers, ranging from 18 to 20 stories, offering a total of 350 to 400 residences. The project emphasizes green spaces and wellness amenities, aiming to create a luxurious living environment in the exclusive La Isla de Olivos area, known for its tranquil, tree-lined streets.

Today there are no plots of this scale and quality in Vicente López. We had been looking for an opportunity of these characteristics for quite some time.

Sebastián Wolfshon, commercial director of WWAKE Group, one of the developers, highlighted the rarity of acquiring such a large and high-quality plot in Vicente López. He explained that the towers will cater to different needs, with one oriented towards families, another for downsizers, and a third offering more compact units.

The transformation is facilitated by St. Andrew’s Scots School's ongoing consolidation of its campuses. The primary and kindergarten levels have already moved to the Campus San Andrés. While the secondary level still operates at the historic Olivos site, the school plans to complete its relocation in the coming years. Developers anticipate commencing construction in the second half of 2027, with the project unfolding in stages. Approximately 10,000 m² of the 14,000 m² site will be dedicated to communal areas, amenities, and green spaces.

Each tower will have a different profile: one will be more oriented towards families, another towards people looking to reduce the size of their home without leaving the area, and the third will aim for more compact units.
