Torres Gemelas

Torres Gemelas, High-rise building in Guerrero, Mexico.

Torres Gemelas are two identical towers on Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. Each rises 110 meters with 28 floors, and the complex contains 625 apartments or hotel rooms. The lower floors house a hotel, and the upper floors are residential. The towers are anchored by 60 concrete and steel piles driven 50 meters deep.

Construction of the Torres Gemelas began in 1971 with an investment of 15 million dollars and was completed in 1975, the work of the firm Procomex. On opening they ranked among the ten tallest buildings in Mexico and were Acapulco's second-tallest towers until 1976. They were renovated in 2002.

The towers' name, Torres Gemelas, simply means "Twin Towers" in Spanish, and locals use it as a shorthand for the whole complex on Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán. The first floors hold a hotel, while the upper 30 floors of each tower are residential, so the same address mixes short-stay guests and long-term residents. In 2002 the Mexican firm CALMECAC rated the hotel four stars and four diamonds.

The towers stand at Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán 1230, in the Fraccionamiento Club Deportivo, with the hotel occupying the lower floors and the rest residential. Three high-speed lifts move at 6.5 metres per second, so expect fast rides to the upper floors. The structure rests on 60 concrete and steel piles anchored 50 metres deep.

The towers rest on 60 concrete-and-steel piles driven 50 metres deep and are engineered to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 on the Richter scale. Along with Estrella del Mar and Hotel La Palapa, they were among Acapulco's first "smart" skyscrapers, run by a system called B3 that controlled the lighting.
