Antara Polanco, Shopping center in Polanco district, Mexico.
Antara Polanco is a shopping center in Polanco with three levels housing stores, dining venues, and a cinema. The building combines covered walkways with open-air sections that let shoppers move naturally between interior and exterior spaces.
The center opened in 2006 on land where a factory once stood, signaling a shift from industrial to commercial use in the growing neighborhood. This change reflected broader development happening in the area during that period.
The mall hosts concerts, fashion shows and exhibitions through the year, and in December it is decorated with lamps and artificial-snow shows. Its nightclubs Joyroom and Ragga sit on the plaza, and the Apple, Sephora, Pull&Bear and Abercrombie & Fitch stores here are flagship locations for Mexico City.
The mall sits in Nuevo Polanco near the Miyana complex, with three levels connected by stairs and lifts. Its open-air layout means much of the route between shops is uncovered, so carry sun protection or an umbrella depending on the weather. The Cinemex and food court are on the upper levels.
The Cinemex cinema at Antara was the first movie theater in Latin America to install Samsung's Onyx LED screen, introduced in 2018. The mall also hosted Mexico's 500th Starbucks in 2015 and Mexico City's second Apple Store in 2019.
