Torre Paradox, Modern skyscraper in Santa Fe district, Mexico City

Torre Paradox is a 196-metre residential skyscraper in the Chapultepec district of Mexico City, completed in 2018. It consists of three connected towers (A, B and C) of different heights, with a curtain-wall facade of insulating glass panels. The complex contains 237 apartments of up to 100 square metres and was awarded LEED certification.

Torre Paradox was built between 2014 and 2018 to designs by Varabyeu Partners with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, working with developer Lemmus Inver México Realstate and contractor Anteus Constructora. The structural project came from Luis Bozzo Estructuras y Proyectos of Barcelona, which placed SLB seismic dampers on every floor. The finished tower received LEED certification.

Torre Paradox takes its name from the three connected towers, A, B and C, of different heights that make up the complex. Its 237 apartments reach up to 100 square metres of gross usable floor area, and the building received LEED certification when construction ended in 2018.

The tower stands at Avenida Santa Fe 562 in Colonia Cruz Manca, Cuajimalpa, within the Santa Fe financial centre; the site covers 4,332,114 m². It is a residential building with private apartments, so interior access is for residents and their guests. The three connected volumes A, B and C reach different heights, which affects orientation inside.

The structural project was carried out by the Barcelona firm Luis Bozzo Estructuras y Proyectos, not by the architects. It placed SLB-type seismic dampers on every floor of the three connected blocks A, B and C, which differ in height.
