Torre Diana, Office skyscraper in Colonia Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, Mexico
Torre Diana is a modern office building in the Reforma Corridor with 33 floors and a glass exterior. The structure holds two commercial levels, 23 office floors, and 13 parking levels with seven basement sections and six above-ground decks.
Construction began in 2013 and finished in January 2016. The project cost 165 million dollars, financed by Fibra Uno with partners Reichmann International and Grupo MF; the land alone accounted for 20 million dollars. The tower was designed to withstand an earthquake of 8.5 on the Richter scale.
The tower is named after the Diana the Huntress fountain on Paseo de la Reforma, a copy of the Diana of Versailles statue. The original 1942 bronze was replaced in 1974 after it was toppled; the current figure was recast from the earlier work. The building stands just off the boulevard near that landmark.
When exploring, keep in mind that this is primarily an office building with limited public access to interior spaces. The ground-level plaza and landscaped areas, however, are freely accessible and offer a good place to sit and rest.
The tower's name comes from the Diana the Huntress fountain just off Paseo de la Reforma, not from any feature of the building itself. Its address is Río Lerma street #232, at the corner of Río Misisipí. The structure is designed to withstand an earthquake of 8.5 on the Richter scale, and its 16 elevators reach 6.8 metres per second.
