The Torre Reforma is a Mexico City skyscraper under construction. With a height of 800.5 feet (244.0 m) to the roof and housing 57 stories, it will be the tallest skyscraper in Mexico, exceeding both Torre Mayor at 739.5 feet (225.4 m) located just across the street, and the Torre Ejecutiva Pemex at 693 feet (211 m)
Construction began in May 2008. The complex will host a restaurant, a shopping mall, entertainment areas and DOOM International's Reforma Gym. The construction of the building will be managed by Vertical Capital Group while LBR and Architects is in charge of development.
Construction
It is being built at Paseo de la Reforma #483, across the street from the Torre Mayor, at the site formerly occupied by a nightclub on the Paseo de la Reforma. The initial plan included the demolishing of a historic 1930s house near the site, but it was decided to conserve the house and use the historic structure as the main entrance to the building.
Description
The building will contain 35,000 m2 of office space and 35,000 m2 of retail space. It will have about 35 lifts (elevators) reaching a maximum speed of 6.8 meters per second. It will be along with the World Trade Center in Mexico City the building with most elevators in Latin America. The tower will feature an underground parking garage with a capacity of 1,161 vehicles. Torre Reforma will be submitted for international certification as a sustainable LEED building.
As Torre Mayor and Torre Reforma are only a few steps away from each other, Chilango entertainment magazine dubbed them the non-twin towers.
