Edificio Tlatelolco

Edificio Tlatelolco is a 28-story office tower in central Mexico City that rises approximately 120 meters high. The building contains large office spaces and was engineered with special earthquake resistance systems to withstand the city's seismic activity.

Construction was completed in 2005, with the design drawing influence from the 1966 Torre de Tlatelolco. The project replaced a small two-story parking structure that previously occupied the site.

The building has housed Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2006, serving as a key site for the nation's diplomatic work. Its location in the historic center reflects the neighborhood's role as a seat of government authority.

The tower is located in a busy commercial area and is accessible by foot from several metro stations in the city center. Note that this is an active government building, so public access may be limited to exterior views.

From the upper levels of the tower, visitors can see several of Mexico City's landmark structures, including the Revolution Monument and historic towers that define the skyline. This elevated viewpoint reveals how the building sits within the larger urban landscape of the capital.
