Torre MAPFRE, Office tower in Colonia Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, Mexico

Torre MAPFRE is a 124-meter, 27-story office tower at Paseo de la Reforma 243, beside the Glorieta de la Palma. Built of reinforced concrete and glass, it has five underground parking levels, 16 office floors of 1,667 square meters each, and 13 elevators. Its 41 concrete-and-steel piles, 1.40 meters in diameter, reach 51 meters deep.

Construction began in 2007 and paused in 2009 due to a flu epidemic and economic crisis, then resumed in 2010 with increased height. The interruption led to changes in the project's original design.

Tenants listed for the tower include the headquarters of Aeroméxico, the Embassy of Japan, Halliburton, Dow, Beiersdorf, Banco Ve Por Más and a Sports World gym. The Japanese embassy inside an office tower on Paseo de la Reforma is the kind of detail a passer-by would not guess from the street.

Torre MAPFRE stands at Paseo de la Reforma 243, on the Glorieta de la Palma where Río Rhin avenue meets the boulevard, in Colonia Cuauhtémoc. The tower has five underground parking levels, and its 27 floors are served by 13 elevators. It sits beside the Centro Bursátil of the Mexican Stock Exchange, a few metres from Torre Prisma and the Torre del Caballito.

The building was engineered with an advanced seismic protection system that anchors deep foundation piles into the ground. This specialized system allows the structure to better withstand seismic activity.
