To that end, the lower floors feature spacious lounges with TVs and other services, where athletes can watch the games.

The Olympic Village is one of eight venues provided by Argentina's government for hosting the games, but the one that aims to make a difference to the lives of Villa Soldati's residents.

After the games, the village will serve as a residential complex, with units available through soft loans to area teachers, police officers and other middle-class professionals.

Though Villa Soldati has been overlooked for years, it is considered a "strategic area" due to its location.

"This area has important potential on a metropolitan and regional scale thanks to its access roads from different highways," according to information posted on the city government website.

Along with the village, a 100-hectare City Park and residential neighborhood will be rehabilitated "to spur development of the city's southern zone."

Plans include building area schools and clinics, to complement the already existing Cecilia Grierson Hospital.

By the last quarter of 2018, officials expect more than a thousand area families to be able to enjoy a better home and many more locals, a revitalized neighborhood.
