The building's construction cost an estimated US$134 million.[1] The main contractor in its construction was CRIBA, a leading local contractor founded in 1952 by Alberto Tarasido.[2]

On May 25, 2012, 21 days after the nationalization of YPF by the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the YPF Tower was lit in the colors of the Argentine flag as a political statement to commemorate 202 years of self-governance.[3]

As of 2021, following years of hardship, YPF was seeking US$400 million for its sale.[4]
