Ombú is an Office Building project, located in the Andres Bello Avenue, at the Providencia District of Santiago, Chile.

Its name comes from a type of tree that grows in the surrounding parks, and expresses the privileged location, right by the riverside, the Sculpture Park, and the San Cristobal Hill.

Although surrounded by parks, this does not interfere with its commercial appeal. The building is only two block from the commercial axis represented by Alameda-Providencia-Apoquindo-Las Condes, one of the main streets of Santiago, and one of the most important commercial corridor in the country, and perhaps South America.
