Torre Altus, Residential skyscraper in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico.
The Torre Altus rises 174 meters into the Mexico City skyline with 44 floors above ground and 7 underground levels for parking and facilities.
Completed in 1998, the Torre Altus emerged as the third-tallest building in Mexico City, designed by architect Augusto H. Álvarez from Álvarez y Wiechers firm.
The structure represents Mexican modernist architecture of the late 20th century, incorporating international design elements while addressing local seismic conditions.
Each of the 43 residential floors contains one apartment, supported by 15 high-speed elevators that travel at 6.2 meters per second.
The building foundation includes 100 concrete piles extending 25 meters underground to maintain stability during earthquakes in Mexico City.
