Dot Baires Shopping is a shopping center located in the Saavedra neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The mall was opened in 2009[3][4] incorporating an office building into the complex, plus architecture with a dynamic, highly visible front and a landscaped atrium on Avenida General Paz.
The shopping center belongs to local holding IRSA[5] and was built at a cost of US$160 million.[4] It was designed by the Pfeifer-Zurdo (PfZ) studio.[2] Shopping Dot has three floors for commercial stores and three underground floors (for parking purposes) covering a total of 173,000 m2. It has a total of 155 commercial stores.
Apart from the commercial stores, Dot Baires shopping has 10 movie theaters of Hoyts chain, occupying a surface area of 6,500 m2 and with a total of 2,500 seats.
The mall has an eight-story office building connected to it in which companies such as HP and Flybondi have their corporate offices. Additionally, it has a second building inaugurated in April 2019 called Polo Dot, where Mercado Libre has its corporate offices.
When some foreign companies ceased operations in Argentina due to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (such as Chilean Falabella and American Walmart), IRSA invested US$6 million to refurbish the Dot Baires, adding services stores including a medical center, a gym, a pharmacy chain, a premium food market and even five-a-side football pitches.[6]
