    What's special

    THE LEGACY LOFT AT EL MUNDO BUILDING, OLD SAN JUAN Suspended above one of Puerto Rico’s most culturally significant landmarks, The Legacy Loft is a once-in-a-generation offering — the entire fifth floor of the iconic El Mundo Building, built in 1923 by revered architect Francisco Roldan, for the headquarters of El Mundo newspaper. Now reimagined as a blank slate for luxury residential conversion, this rare volume of space boasts uninterrupted panoramic views over San Juan Bay through 15 oversized windows, offering unobstructed, panoramic views of San Juan Bay and the Harbor -a unique feature unmatched by any other building in Old San Juan. Spanning over 2,800 square feet with 12-foot ceilings, and an open, column-free layout, the space presents extraordinary potential for a world-class residence or creative retreat. The structure’s bones reflect the grandeur of the Chicago Style, accented with Art Deco geometry, Spanish Revival grace, and Moorish ornamentation - from glazed ceramic wainscoting to intricate mosaic tile arches and lobulated frames. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the building itself is a masterwork of early 20th-century design, embodying the island’s layered architectural heritage. Thoughtfully restored in recent years and reconfigured into seven individual condominium units, the building offers very few opportunities with expansive water views. This fifth-floor unit, formerly a prestigious law office, is one of the last remaining spaces available for full customization, with dramatic bay-facing windows and a rare open-plan layout. The building is also equipped with an elevator, an exceptionally rare amenity in Old San Juan, and enjoys a uniquely private setting across from Bastión de las Palmas, a peaceful, tree-lined plaza with only foot traffic and uninterrupted views of the bay. A location rich in culture and character in Old San Juan’s storied historic district, steps from galleries, world-class dining, coastal promenades and UNESCO-listed fortifications, this address offers an unparalleled opportunity to create a world-class residence in one of the most iconic buildings in Puerto Rico’s history.
