HSBC Tower, High-rise office building on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City, Mexico.
HSBC Tower is a modern office building on Paseo de la Reforma with 36 floors divided between office spaces and parking levels, constructed with glass and steel. The structure stands directly across from the Angel of Independence monument in the city's financial district.
Construction began in 2002 and was completed in 2006, marking a significant investment in Mexico City's financial district during that period. The project contributed to the transformation of Paseo de la Reforma's skyline at the start of the 2000s.
The entrance features two bronze lions modeled after those at HSBC headquarters in Hong Kong, creating a visual connection to the bank's international heritage. These sculptures have become part of how the building is recognized in the city.
The tower is located on Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico City's main business corridors, making it easily accessible from various parts of the city. The exterior and entrance sculptures can be viewed without restrictions.
This building was the first in Latin America to receive LEED gold certification for environmental design, setting a pioneering standard for sustainable construction in the region. Its achievement marked an early commitment to green building practices among major commercial developments.
