Edificio Reforma 90, Modern residential tower on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City.
Edificio Reforma 90 is a cancelled residential skyscraper project at Paseo de la Reforma 90, in the Juárez neighbourhood of Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City. Planned at 151.2 metres over 40 floors and 67,000 m², it was to be built with reinforced concrete, steel, aluminium and glass, with floor-to-ceiling heights of 3 metres and 5.8 metres in the penthouses. Construction started in late 2007 and stopped in 2011.
Construction of Edificio Reforma 90 began in late 2007 on Paseo de la Reforma #90, in the Juárez neighbourhood of Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City. Work stopped in 2011 and the project was cancelled. The site had previously held an 11-storey building, which was demolished to make way for the tower.
The project was planned as a smart building whose lighting would be run by a B3 control system, the same one used at Torre Mayor and the World Trade Center México. Its water-saving fittings, rainwater collectors and wastewater treatment plant were meant to cut electricity and water use, placing it among the first environmentally friendly buildings of its kind in Latin America.
The project was never built: work started in late 2007 and stopped in 2011, and it is listed as cancelled. The planned tower was to rise 151.2 m over 40 floors, with five underground parking levels among 45 total levels. Because the site is high-risk, the design called for 50 seismic dampers and 48 concrete piles driven 60 m down through the swampy fill.
