From Silicon Valley to Villa Crespo: Building Generational Bridges Through Smart Real Estate
Meet Ari, a tech professional whose journey from the bustling streets of Villa Crespo to the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley exemplifies a new generation of global nomads seeking smart real estate solutions. Born and raised in Buenos Aires’ vibrant Villa Crespo neighbourhood, Ari excelled at programming and IT throughout his schooling. His talent eventually caught the attention of Google, who offered him a coveted position in Silicon Valley when he was just 25 years old.
Now settled in the San Francisco Bay area with two children, Ari represents a growing demographic of Argentine tech professionals who’ve built successful careers abroad but face a universal challenge: how to keep their children connected to their cultural roots while building a life thousands of miles away.
The Cultural Connection Dilemma
Like many Argentine expatriates, Ari grapples with questions that keep him awake at night: Will his children understand where they come from? Will they feel the warmth of extended family gatherings? Will they experience the magic of Buenos Aires summers with their cousins?
Back home in Villa Crespo, Ari’s parents still live in the family home. His sister has three children roughly the same ages as Ari’s kids. His brother runs a small design studio in Palermo. The WhatsApp family group buzzes with photos of birthday parties, school events, and weekend asados that his children only see through screens.
The fractional ownership opportunity In Villa Crespo between Avenida Cordoba and Corrientes isn’t just about real estate – it’s about family legacy.
The Perfect Property: An Argentine Dream Come True
The stunning 3-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Villa Crespo – walking distance from Ari’s childhood home, his old school, and the café where his grandmother used to take him for medialunas every Sunday. This 158.79 square meter unit offers everything needed for meaningful family stays:

Building Amenities: The Ultimate Family Entertainment Hub
The new development creates the perfect environment for multi-generational family experiences, but the crown jewel is the 13th-floor rooftop paradise:
The Rooftop Experience:
Swimming pool with panoramic city views – imagine Ari’s children and their cousins splashing together while overlooking the Buenos Aires skyline
Parrilla (barbecue area) – the heart of Argentine culture, where Ari can recreate the Sunday asados of his childhood
Solarium with deck – perfect for afternoon mate sessions with extended family
Open-air gymnasium – keeping the California fitness lifestyle alive in Buenos Aires
Social lounge – where three generations can gather as the sun sets over the city
5th Floor Family Zone:
Children’s pool for the little ones
Playroom for rainy day activities with extended family
Playground equipment fostering neighbourhood friendships
The Parrilla: Where Culture Lives
For Ari, the rooftop parrilla represents something profound. In Silicon Valley, he might grill burgers on a backyard Weber, but here, 13 floors above Villa Crespo, he can host proper Argentine asados that define family culture.
Picture this: Sunday afternoon, the whole extended family gathered around the rooftop parrilla. Ari’s father teaches his grandchildren how to prepare the perfect chimichurri. His mother is bringing empanadas from the apartment kitchen. His brother’s kids playing football on the deck while the adults debate politics over Malbec. The Buenos Aires skyline stretches endlessly as smoke rises from perfectly grilled chorizo and morcilla.
This isn’t just a meal – it’s cultural transmission in its purest form. Ari’s children won’t just eat Argentine food; they’ll learn the rituals, the timing, the social dynamics that make an asado a sacred family tradition.
Generational Legacy Through Fractional Ownership
The 1/8th fractional ownership share for USD 70,000 transforms from a real estate investment into a cultural preservation strategy that can span generations.
Creating Lasting Family Traditions
The Annual Asado Championship: Ari establishes a yearly family tradition where each branch of the family takes turns hosting elaborate rooftop barbecues, with his children learning from their uncles and cousins.
Rooftop Swimming Lessons: His kids learn to swim in the same city where their grandparents learned, creating parallel childhood experiences separated by generations but united by place.
Sunset Storytelling: The rooftop becomes where family stories are passed down – where Ari’s father tells grandchildren about old Buenos Aires while they watch the city lights flicker on.
The Inheritance Strategy: A Multi-Generational Gathering Place
Phase 1 – The Foundation (Current): Ari establishes the family presence, creating annual traditions centred around the rooftop amenities.
Phase 2 – The Transition (In 20-25 years): His children inherit the share and continue hosting family gatherings, now with their own kids learning to swim in the same pool, grill at the same parrilla.
Phase 3 – The Legacy (50+ years): Ari’s grandchildren maintain the tradition, ensuring that no matter how globally scattered the family becomes, they always have a place to gather with panoramic views of their ancestral home.
The Entertainment Advantage
What makes this property extraordinary is how it enables authentic Argentine hospitality. In San Francisco, Ari might invite friends over for dinner. But in Buenos Aires, he can host proper Argentine celebrations:
Birthday parties where children run between the rooftop pool and playground while adults relax in the social lounge
Holiday gatherings where the entire extended family can comfortably spend the day together
Coming-of-age celebrations where teenage cousins can feel sophisticated hanging out on a Buenos Aires rooftop
Anniversary parties where grandparents can watch their legacy play out against the backdrop of the city they’ve called home for decades
The Silicon Valley Perspective Meets Argentine Soul
Ari’s fractional ownership perfectly embodies the “use what you need, pay for what you use” philosophy that drives Silicon Valley innovation. But more importantly, it solves a uniquely human problem: how to give your children roots in a globalised world.
The rooftop amenities aren’t just luxury features – they’re cultural infrastructure. The swimming pool becomes where his children bond with cousins they might otherwise only know through video calls. The parrilla becomes where they learn that family gatherings aren’t just about food, but about storytelling, debate, and connection.
An Absolute Dream Realised
For $70,000 – less than a luxury car payment in Silicon Valley – Ari secures not just accommodation in Buenos Aires, but a multi-generational entertainment venue where his family’s Argentine identity can flourish.
When his children bring their own families to the rooftop decades from now, firing up the same parrilla where they learned to grill as kids, swimming in the same pool where they raced their cousins, they won’t be maintaining a tradition – they’ll be living it.
The panoramic views from the 13th floor will remind them that no matter how far they’ve travelled in life, they’re still connected to something larger than themselves. And when the Buenos Aires sunset paints the sky orange and purple, just as it did when their father was a child playing in these same streets below, they’ll understand that some bonds transcend geography and time.
This isn’t just fractional ownership – it’s fractional heritage, preserved and passed down through generations, one rooftop asado at a time. Read here about generational ownership.
