PARQUE BICENTENARIO / CIUDAD EMPRESARIAL

Santiago Parque Bicentenario / Ciudad Empresarial in Chile combines Vitacura’s 27-hectare Bicentenario Park along the Mapocho River with the adjacent Ciudad Empresarial business district in Huechuraba, creating a premier urban ecosystem of green space and corporate innovation. Developed since 2006 with the park’s first phase opening in 2007 and full completion in 2011, Ciudad Empresarial hosts over 1,000 companies and 2,000 families across modern offices and residences, linked by the upcoming Teleférico Bicentenario cable car.

Parque Bicentenario features artificial lakes, 5,460 trees (over 2,600 native), expansive lawns, playgrounds, a restaurant by Smiljan Radic, and Vitacura’s Civic Center, serving as a recreational hub with family zones and biodiversity. Ciudad Empresarial offers high-end offices like Next with panoramic terraces and barbecues, residential buildings, rapid access to Santiago’s key points, and connectivity via avenues and the planned 3.2 km teleférico to Parque Metropolitano by late 2025.
