More Apartments

Along Insurgentes Avenue, in the San Rafael neighborhood not far from the Monument to the Mexican Revolution, is a building which was structurally damaged in the earthquake of 2017 and which has stood vacant since then.

I always take note of this building when passing by on the Metrobus because on the ground level there was a men's clothing store called "Dover".  (You can still see one of the signs.)  For many years, Alejandro's favorite uncle used to work as a tailor in that store.  Fortunately, he retired before the earthquake devastated his place of employment.

Now, many years later, the structure is covered with large banners advertising another apartment building project.  I assume that the damaged building will be torn down and a new one constructed on the site.

The location is in a so-so neighborhood not far from a couple of areas known for prostitution.  But this stretch of Insurgentes is experiencing gentrification.  This is just the latest of several new high-rise apartment buildings which are in various stages of construction or planning.
