Walk around the base to see the diagonal structure up close; if the lobby is accessible, look for how the exoskeleton meets the ground without clunkiness.

Best Photo Spot

Best from Paseo de la Reforma across the street, late afternoon when the diagonals cast sharp shadows.

Private office tower; public access generally limited to lobby/retail (if open); no observation deck.

Design & Structure

Steel exoskeleton + glass; materiality matters because structure becomes facade rhythm and sun-control.

△
Structural Innovation

Engineering highlight: external braced frame handling lateral loads while freeing interior plates.
