Arcos Bosques Torre 1, Corporate skyscraper in Bosques de las Lomas, Mexico City, Mexico
Arcos Bosques Torre 1 is an office tower in Bosques de las Lomas standing about 161 meters tall with a distinctive structure of two parallel columns that connect at the top. The building spans 33 office floors with a glass exterior and includes elevator access and rooftop facilities.
Construction finished in 1996 when architects Francisco Serrano, Teodoro González, and Carlos Tejada completed their design as part of the larger Arcos Bosques business complex. The tower became an important addition to Mexico City's office landscape during the 1990s development boom.
Locals call the tower "El Pantalón" (The Trousers) because the two concrete shafts joined by a top span resemble a pair of dress trousers. The nickname is used in everyday speech alongside the official name Torre Arcos Bosques I, and the building's silhouette is a familiar reference point in Bosques de las Lomas.
The tower has 24 elevators, 10 of them running at 5.5 meters per second. Four underground parking levels serve the complex, and a helipad sits on the roof at 2,560 meters above sea level. Access is arranged for office tenants and their visitors.
The structure features two independent vertical columns that run separately for about 31 floors before connecting at the top with additional levels. This unusual design solution creates a striking landmark that stands out from typical office tower designs.
