Torre New York Life, Office building at Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City, Mexico
Torre New York Life is an office building along Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City's main business avenue. The structure rises 150 meters (492 feet) with 32 above-ground floors, 5 underground levels, and a double-skin facade designed for thermal control.
Construction of the tower began in 2008 but halted during the global financial crisis. Work resumed in 2010 with a redesigned plan and was completed shortly after.
The tower sits near the Angel of Independence monument and reflects Mexico City's mix of modern business and historic landmarks. Locals and visitors pass through this area as part of the city's main commercial corridor.
The building sits directly on Paseo de la Reforma and is easily accessible by foot or public transportation. The surrounding area offers shops, restaurants, and services, making it convenient for visitors and workers.
The structure was engineered with deep foundations designed to withstand earthquakes up to 8.5 magnitude. This seismic engineering is a critical feature for tall buildings in this tectonically active region.
