Those of you who have followed my blog for some time, know that I frequently check on the progress of the skyscrapers being constructed along the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City. Not so many years ago the Torre Mayor was the city's tallest structure. Then the Bancomer building across the street took first place. Then I watched the Torre Reforma top them both.
On recent trips, I have been observing another skyscraper, Chapultepec Uno, that is being built right next door to the Torre Mayor. It is now closing in on the building that was once the tallest.
I was under the impression that Chapultepec Uno was going to be the tallest of them all. It will be taller than the Torre Mayor, but, at 58 stories and 790 feet, it will miss being the city's tallest by just ten feet.
The building should be completed by 2019, and a part of the tower will be occupied by a Ritz Carlton Hotel.
