El Tesoro is the hillside-luxury answer to Provenza's street-life energy.
El Tesoro is the hillside-luxury answer to Provenza's street-life energy. You trade walkability for views, quiet, modern construction, and the most reliable amenity buildings in the comuna. If you have or will have a car, and you value mountain views over morning coffee runs, El Tesoro is the cleanest choice in El Poblado.
Hillside high-rise luxury anchored by El Tesoro Parque Comercial - a high-end mall that doubles as the social center for residents who don't want to walk down to Provenza. The address signals money. Views toward downtown Medellín and the surrounding mountains are the selling point; new construction with full amenity decks (pool, gym, sauna, social rooms) is the inventory. Quieter than Provenza, less established than Castropol, more car-dependent than either.
Sandra and Felipe's morning routine starts on the balcony. The view stretches across El Poblado below them and out to the eastern ridge of the city. Coffee on the balcony, then breakfast inside, then the day starts depending on whether it's a yoga day, a doctor day, or a family day.
Yoga is at a studio inside El Tesoro mall - a five-minute walk down their street. The mall is also where they pick up groceries (Carulla on the lower level), see movies (Cine Colombia upstairs), and meet friends for lunch. Sandra has joked that they could go a full week without ever leaving the mall's catchment. They have, on slow weeks.
When they want to leave El Tesoro, it's almost always by car. Felipe drives to his brother's house in Envigado on Sundays. Sandra prefers Uber when she's going to Provenza for dinner because she doesn't want to drive after a glass of wine. Walking to Provenza is not an option; the descent is steep and there's no good path back uphill.
The building has a pool, a gym, a sauna, two social rooms, and a porter at the front desk who knows every resident's name. Sandra estimates they use the pool three times a week. The view from the gym is the same as the view from the apartment, which she occasionally mentions to friends who chose Provenza.
