Torre Altus, Residential skyscraper in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico.
Torre Altus is a residential tower in Bosques de las Lomas with 44 floors above ground and 7 levels below for parking and building systems. The structure reaches 174 meters and offers one apartment per residential floor.
The tower was completed in 1998 and designed by architect Augusto H. Álvarez from the Álvarez y Wiechers firm. It quickly became one of the tallest buildings in Mexico City at that time.
The structure represents Mexican modernist architecture of the late 20th century, incorporating international design elements while addressing local seismic conditions.
The building features 15 high-speed elevators that allow residents to move efficiently through the tower. The underground levels provide ample parking space for residents' vehicles.
The foundation rests on 100 concrete piles driven 25 meters deep underground to stabilize the structure against earthquakes. This engineering solution was essential to ensure safety in a seismically active area.
