The Buenos Aires Forum is a proposed development in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the centrepiece of which is a m to ft|1000|abbr=yes|spell=0|precision=0|wiki=yes tall skyscraper. The proposed development will be constructed on seven platforms totalling 400 hectares to be built in the River Plate. It will be connected to the rest of Buenos Aires by a 5km long viaduct. The development, at an estimated cost of US$ 3.33 billion, is expected to be completed in 2016 and create 20,000 jobs.

Depending on the status of several other similarly tall proposed skyscrapers, the tower could become the tallest tower in the world.
