Local Colina is a convenience commercial building located in the north of Bogota. The project site is located along the west side of Avenida Boyacá - one of the city’s major avenues which is 10 lanes wide and it marks a clear divide in the area as it is not easy to cross. Both sides - east and west are very densely populated mostly with high-density mid-rise multifamily residential buildings, but the western side of the Avenida Boyacá has a significant deficit of commercial space and the project’s site is currently the only available lot in the area with commercial zoning.
The project is 3 stories high and sits on top of a parking basement. The first and second floors are designed to have convenience stores for local services such as dry cleaning, hair salons, tailor shops as well as a place for local cafes and restaurants. The third story is designed to have an area for a gym and also an area to accommodate the now popular Hidden Kitchens which prepare food delivery for branded restaurants in the area.
