Torre Contigo

Torre Contigo, Office building on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City.

Torre Contigo is an office building at Paseo de la Reforma 51 in Mexico City, designed by Juan Sordo Madaleno and completed in 1946. It has 24 floors, a total height of 125 metres including its antenna, and floor plates of about 520 square metres. Its glass facade was replaced in 2001–2002, and it houses offices of the Secretaría de Bienestar.

Construction began in 1942 under architect Juan Sordo Madaleno and ended in 1946, when Torre Contigo became Mexico's tallest building, a title it held until 1952. Built for the insurance company Aseguradora Anáhuac, it was Latin America's tallest building from 1946 to 1947. Its facade was fully renovated between 2001 and 2002 by the construction firm Gicsa.

The tower's name comes from its original owner, the insurer Aseguradora Anáhuac, which gave it the name Torre Anáhuac in the 1940s; the Contigo name came later. Since its opening it has housed government offices, today those of the Secretaría de Bienestar and its branches, so the lobby sees civil servants rather than tourists.

The building is easily accessible from Paseo de la Reforma and located in a busy business district with good public transportation connections. Its modern infrastructure and central location make it a major administrative hub for city operations.

The tower has withstood fifteen earthquakes since 1957, including the 8.1-magnitude quake of 19 September 1985 and the 7.1-magnitude quake of 19 September 2017. Its steel-and-reinforced-concrete frame and a central foundation wall reaching 15.6 meters deep complement the 250 concrete piles driven 45 meters through the soft former lakebed of Texcoco.
