Property Information
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Puerto Rico’s architectural history awaits at 251 and 253 Tetuan Street in Old San Juan. Designed by renowned Czech architect Antonin Nechodoma and built in 1920, this expansive property was formerly the historic Scotia Bank. The iconic building is offered in a cleaned shell condition, providing a blank canvas for visionary investors to reimagine it as an unparalleled masterpiece with mixed zoning. Spanning five floors with soaring ceilings and a distinctive bank vault in the basement, the building lends itself perfectly to a variety of concepts, including a multi-family or hospitality project. The scale and historic character of the property make it an ideal anchor space in the heart of one of the Caribbean’s most visited destinations. Strategically located at the corner of Tetuan Street and San Justo Street, this prominent building enjoys exceptional visibility and steady pedestrian traffic, just moments away from the bustling cruise port. Once the island’s thriving financial hub, Tetuan Street was home to Puerto Rico’s major banks and remains lined with iconic architecture. Today, it has transformed into a vibrant corridor filled with tourists, shops, and cultural landmarks. This prime corner location places your venture at the intersection of history and opportunity in one of the most dynamic areas in Puerto Rico.
