With an investment of approximately US$ 13 million, the historic venue seeks to transform the experience of its attendees and revitalize the environment of the historic San Diego neighborhood through the construction of a new service complex.
The project, which has already begun its earthmoving works just meters from the theater, arises as the definitive solution to one of the greatest logistical challenges of the sector: the lack of parking for the thousands of spectators who attend the various national and international shows hosted by the venue.

The new building will have infrastructure designed to optimize the vehicular and pedestrian flow of the area: 300 new parking spaces intended to cover the high demand during concerts, sporting events, and cultural shows; 130 storage rooms: storage spaces that will provide logistical solutions both for the theater and for third parties, and 10 commercial premises: spaces on the ground floor that will promote economic activity and the dynamism of the San Diego neighborhood.
“This project is the culmination of a long-held desire. We want the experience of coming to Caupolicán to be complete and seamless from the moment the attendee arrives in the neighborhood. This US$ 13 million investment is our commitment to culture, to our audience, and to the development of Santiago,” said José Antonio Aravena, venue manager.
