Did You Know?
Stories Tall
The Torre Latinoamericana stands 44 stories high, offering panoramic views of Mexico City from its observation deck.
Seismic Survivor
Renowned for its innovative engineering, the Torre Latinoamericana has famously withstood several major earthquakes, including the devastating 1985 Mexico City earthquake, without significant damage.
Former Record Holder
Upon its completion in 1956, the Torre Latinoamericana was the tallest building in Mexico City and the first major skyscraper built on highly seismic land.
Unique Foundation
Its stability is attributed to a unique 'floating' foundation system, consisting of 361 piles driven 34 meters deep into the soft subsoil, designed to allow the building to sway with seismic activity.
