Estimado Arquitecto. Soy uruguayo y tambien arquitecto. Me ancantara si es posible conocer el proyecto final de la plaza alemania en Montevideo. Estos dias he visto movimiento de obra y estuve investigando para conocer el proyecto pero no encuentro info. Conjuntamente con Coldwell Banker Commercial emitimos anualmente un informe del mercado de oficinas en UY y nos especializamos en el sector oficinas. Estoy a las ordenes para lo que necesiten y desde ya muchas gracias.
