Torre Contigo

Torre Contigo is an office building on Paseo de la Reforma designed by architect Juan Sordo Madaleno with 30 floors and a modern glass exterior. The structure was extensively renovated between 2001 and 2002 and now primarily houses Federal Government departments, including the Ministry of Social Welfare.

Construction began in 1942 and finished in 1946, with the building initially serving as headquarters for Aseguradora Anahuac, Latin America's largest insurance company at the time. It was later transferred to government use and has since operated as an administrative center for federal agencies.

The structure, designed by architect Juan Sordo Madaleno, represents Mexican architectural innovation in addressing seismic challenges through advanced construction techniques.

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 foundation is supported by 250 piles that extend about 45 meters deep into the ground to protect the structure from Mexico City's frequent earthquakes. This system demonstrates specialized engineering for the region's seismic challenges.
