Torre KOI, Mixed-use skyscraper in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico.
Torre KOI is a 279.5 m mixed-use skyscraper and the centrepiece of the VAO complex in Valle Oriente, San Pedro Garza García. Its lower and middle sections are clad in reflective blue glass, while the upper part ends in an exposed dark grey steel frame. It holds 27 office floors, 218 apartments and 18 penthouses, plus 9 parking levels.
Construction began in April 2012 and finished in October 2017, as the last phase of the VAO complex. Its foundation required Mexico's largest concrete pour at the time: 48 hours of continuous pumping from 21 December 2013, using 8,000 m³ of concrete and 1,200 trucks, with seven Cemex plants dedicated to the job. The project was privately financed, partly through pre-sales of its commercial and residential space.
Torre KOI is the final phase of the VAO complex, whose plot also holds the Liu Residences East and West towers and the VAO Oficinas building, all sharing a plaza with over 3,000 m² of retail. Its name pairs with the Liu towers in a KOI/Liu wordplay. Residents share amenities on the 22nd floor, including an infinity pool, bar and sauna.
The tower has multiple entry points serving its different sections for offices, residences, and retail. Different zones may operate on separate schedules depending on their commercial or residential use.
The building's foundation rests on 78 piles, each measuring 1.6 meters in diameter and extending 7 meters into the ground.
