Yoo Panama is a luxury residential project located on Balboa Avenue, a spectacular strip bordering the sea that offers magnificent views of the bay and Panama City. The building is conveniently located within walking distance of the main recreation centers and the business district.
Bettis Tarazi Architects, a Panamanian firm, was in charge of the concept, design, and architectural development of Yoo Panama, and together with the renowned firm Yoo by Philippe Starck interior design, accomplished this monumental work. The project was completed eight years after the first draft, a result of hard work with a countless number of professionals from different disciplines and nationalities who contributed their talents to the building.
Yoo Panama is one of the most ambitious real estate projects that has been built in Panama. With its´ 78 levels, it is one of the tallest buildings in Central America and is surely one of the most luxurious and sophisticated in the world.
The project consists of two towers called Arts and Yoo, each separated by service corridors. The first tower "Arts" houses 234 condominiums and 56 levels, all facing Balboa Avenue. While “Yoo” tower presents 52 levels and 275 condominiums, it also offers apartments with views of the bay and city.
Height is highlighted in the tower’s architectural design; with a total of 800 feet, it’s considered the sixth tallest building in Central America by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
Hints of blue, yellow, and gray decorate the facade and complement the green of vertical gardens. The design of the balconies creates a wave-like feeling, a prominent feature that also emulates the beautiful views of the bay. Stunning golden columns decorate the facade, similar to trunks in a forest.
