Investor attention has recently been focussed on Latin America. Rapid economic growth and increased stability has brought fresh prosperity to the region. As property there is predominantly bought in cash, the region has also been sheltered from the global credit crunch, leading MoneyWeek.com to comment that: “Easy credit and excessive leverage do not make up the foundations of the Argentine real estate boom. In other words, it’s almost bubble proof.” Our new investment opportunity comes from one of Argentina’s most reputable developers, KAS. Located in the first band of residential districts outside of Buenos Aires’ city centre, Torres Caballito Nuevo is a high-spec apartment project in the popular Caballito neighbourhood.
We have been able to secure 39 units in the Caballito Nuevo development at a 23% discount to market value. Caballito is close to the hip Recoleta and Palermo areas, meaning rental demand in the district is high, as residents of Buenos Aires, known as porteños, aspire to live as close to the city’s energetic heart as they can afford. As domestic let periods are usually long, potential net rental yields of 8% per year are achievable.
The developer has already sold 70% of the units in the development to the local market - proving that there is demand for this type of property, at this price, in this area. High demand and limited supply means plenty of growth potential and a strong exit market when you choose to sell.
We feel the timing is right to enter a market that is stabilising both politically and economically, but thriving in growth and demand. Apartments start from approximately £29,000 and we expect them to sell out quickly. Don’t miss the potential for profit in this exciting market.

At 105m tall, Torres Caballito Nuevo will be the first skyscraper development in the surrounding area, offering wide-ranging views across Buenos Aires and becoming an important focal point for the district. Caballito Nuevo is strategically located in the north of the district with easy access to the main highways that traverse the city. The site is also close to two subway lines and an overground railway link. Construction has already started on the project, which is due to complete in early 2010.
Caballito Nuevo is a high-density development comprising two 34-storey towers with independent security and access. Each tower has five high-speed lifts, double-height entrance hall and multi-purpose meeting room on the top floor. Developers would typically look to fit as many units as possible into a build, and it is unusual to generously devote space to communal areas in this way. However, the effect enhances the desirability of the build to prospective buyers and further enforces the developer’s reputation. Other amenities include communal pool and sports facilities, bar and gymnasium.
