The 5 Tallest Buildings in Mexico
The Latin American Tower was ousted several years ago by these buildings. We present the five tallest buildings in Mexico and another two that, although not yet built, will automatically enter the list.
1.- Koi Tower
It is located in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León and has a height of 279.5 meters. It has 67 floors. Its official name is KOI Sky Residences and its use is commercial and residential. Its construction began in 2012 and concluded in 2017, with an investment of two billion pesos.
2.- Reforma Tower
The second tallest skyscraper in the country is located on the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. It is 246 meters high. However, this building has something that makes it unique in the world. The property where it was built included a beautiful house dating from 1929, which was preserved as part of the architectural project. So, depending on how you look at it, it is a skyscraper with a house, or a house that, in its backyard, has a skyscraper. Construction began in 2008 and was completed in 2016.
3.- BBVA Bancomer Tower
As its name indicates, it is the headquarters of Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer. It is the third of the tallest buildings in the country, at 235 meters high. It was inaugurated on February 9, 2016 and is also located on Paseo de la Reforma. It has 60 floors in an area of 185,000 m².
4. Mayor Tower
With a height of 225 square meters, it is the fourth tallest building in the country and the third in Mexico City, only behind the Torre Bancomer. It has 55 floors, nine levels of parking above street level and four more underground. For seven years, this building, owned by George Soros, was the tallest in Latin America. It is one of the buildings with the highest seismic tolerance in the world. Its 98 shock absorbers allow it to withstand an earthquake of up to nine on the Richter scale.
