Sanhattan

Sanhattan, a portmanteau of Santiago and Manhattan, is the popular ironic sobriquet given to Santiago's upscale financial district in Chile's capital.^[1] It is located to the northeast of the metropolis, in the western end of the Las Condes commune, nestled between the Mapocho River and Américo Vespucio avenue, encompassing the El Bosque Norte and El Golf barrios.^[2] A more narrow definition places it between the intersection of Andrés Bello and Vitacura avenues down to Nueva Los Leones avenue. The central street in Sanhattan is Avenida Apoquindo.

Sanhattan is home to numerous high-end buildings, including offices, restaurants, hotels, shopping centers, and banks. The district boasts two of the tallest buildings in South America, the Titanium La Portada, a 55-story tower and 194 meters in height, and the Gran Torre Santiago, a 300-meter, 63-story tower located in the nearby Providencia commune.
