Torre Arcos Bosques II, Postmodern office complex in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico.
Torre Arcos Bosques II is a twin-tower office complex in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico City, with each tower rising 161.2 meters over 34 floors. The towers are joined by a support that crosses through the middle of each one, and their floors are column-free with clear heights of 3.82 meters. The complex includes a five-star hotel and a shopping center on the third floor of Tower 1.
Construction of Torre Arcos Bosques II began in 2005 and finished in February 2008, built at an average rate of one floor per week. It is the second tower of the Arcos Bosques Corporativo complex, first built in 1996. Its architects were Teodoro González de León and Francisco Serrano Cacho. The towers withstood the 13 April 2007 earthquake of magnitude 6.6 and the 19 September 2017 earthquake.
The towers are clad in white reinforced concrete, aluminium and glass, not marble. Their name comes from the Arcos Bosques corporate complex built in 1996, of which they are the second tower. Tower 1 houses the corporate offices of Xerox Mexicana, while Tower 2 holds those of Nextel México, occupying 15 floors.
The complex sits in the upscale Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood and is easiest to reach by car, though the area is not very pedestrian-friendly. Visitors should know this is a private office complex and access to public areas may be limited.
The two towers are joined by a support that runs through the middle of each one, not by a walkable bridge. The complex also withstood the 6.6-magnitude earthquake of 13 April 2007 and the quake of 19 September 2017. Construction advanced at about one floor per week.
