How is the Amalita Fortabat mansion that will be demolished if it is not sold

Amalita Fortabat -legend says–received “Aldebarán” as a gift from Alfredo Fortabat in 1955. What was a mansion in those years of a eastern tip very different from the present, accumulated years and decades where there were more ghosts than people. And what at the time was a house that followed the style of those in the El Golf area, went out of style.

something of that splendor was seen in a photo production –but the only one– that was made in “Aldebarán” in the early 90s. At that time, Inés Lafuente –the only daughter of Amalita Fortabat– posed for a magazine faces in various rooms of that mansion. At that time, “Aldebarán” did not have “Acqua” as a neighbor, which, as a visible characteristic, has a succession of stepped pools that belong respectively to each one of the floors of that luxury building.

Punta del Este: prices and accommodations at dollar value, but with record occupancy of Argentines

Almost thirty years after those photos taken by the daughter of Amalita Fortabat, this summer 2023 the investment group bought “Aldebarán” and the two huge lots where the announced mansion is located, which will destroy the price in a different real estate development, with a new subdivision of the land for construction of other properties. And they baptized it “Amélie Ocean Residences” because something of its famous owner remains in that large property in the El Golf area, in eastern tip.

The idea of ​​the investment group is that “Aldebarán” continues standing and does not have to be demolished. And that will happen if an enthusiastic buyer appears who will have as a condition to recover its distant splendor and make it habitable. This would give Amélie Ocean Residences some mystique. A task in a way loaded with great enthusiasm on the part of its current owners, taking into account that the accelerated growth of construction in Punta del Este seems to demand more new works from clients than remodeling mansions. If that buyer does not show up, the The final destination of “Aldebarán” will be its demolition and only the “Amélie” will remain in the name of the new venture.
