Torre Amsterdam, Residential skyscraper in Santa Fe, Mexico City, Mexico
Torre Ámsterdam is a 144-metre residential skyscraper at Avenida Santa Fe #482, Colonia Cruz Manca, in Santa Fe, Cuajimalpa, Mexico City. It rises 37 floors above five underground parking levels, with 95 apartments and a floor-to-ceiling height of 3.83 metres. Built of aluminium, reinforced concrete and glass, it forms part of the City Santa Fe Etapa I project alongside Torre Barcelona and Torre Milán.
Torre Amsterdam is part of the City Santa Fe Etapa I project, together with City Santa Fe Torre Barcelona and City Santa Fe Torre Milán. In December 2007 it overtook Torre Panorama Santa Fe and Edificio H2O Condominios as one of Santa Fe's tallest towers, and in August 2008 it ranked third in the district behind Torre Paragon Santa Fe and Torre Santa Fe Pads. It was designed by Francisco Serrano, Susana García and Juan Pablo Serrano.
The tower belongs to the City Santa Fe Etapa I project alongside City Santa Fe Torre Barcelona and City Santa Fe Torre Milán. Its architects, Francisco Serrano, Susana García and Juan Pablo Serrano, are known for other large works in Mexico City. The name repeats that of a 19-story tower by Javier Sánchez on Avenida de los Insurgentes in Condesa, a different building.
The tower stands at Avenida Santa Fe #482, Colonia Cruz Manca, in Santa Fe, Cuajimalpa. Its 95 apartments are reached by 12 high-speed elevators running at 6.6 m/s, and five underground parking levels serve the building. It is a private residential tower, not a visitor attraction.
The tower's lighting is run by a system called B3, the same one used in the Torre Mayor, the Torre Latinoamericana and the World Trade Center México. Its structure rests on 35 steel-and-concrete piles driven 40 metres down and 20 seismic dampers, and it withstood the 8.1-magnitude earthquake of 7 September 2017.
