Country Towers Mérida, Residential complex in Altabrisa, Mérida, Mexico.
Country Towers Mérida is a residential complex of two towers, Torre Aqua and Torre Terra, each 30 storeys and about 107 metres tall, in the Altabrisa area of Mérida, Yucatán. The two towers are the first skyscrapers in the state to pass 100 metres and rank among the tallest buildings in southeastern Mexico.
In March 2013 the complex took the title of tallest building in Mérida, surpassing the Hyatt Regency. Torre Aqua was inaugurated on 27 November 2014 at 107 metres, with investors Roberto Kelleher, Emilio Díaz Castellanos and Oswaldo Millet Palomeque attending alongside governor Rolando Zapata Bello and mayor Renán Barrera Concha. Torre Terra, also 107 metres, followed on 3 December 2015.
The towers' names, Aqua and Terra, refer to water and earth, and the two buildings were inaugurated separately: Torre Aqua on 27 November 2014 and Torre Terra on 3 December 2015. Both ceremonies were attended by project investors Roberto Kelleher, Emilio Díaz Castellanos and Oswaldo Millet Palomeque, alongside Yucatán governor Rolando Zapata Bello and Mérida mayor Renán Barrera Concha.
The complex stands in Altabrisa, in northern Mérida, a short drive from the Periférico and Paseo de Montejo. Both towers are private housing, so the lobbies and grounds are closed to non-residents; the towers are best seen from the street or from nearby shopping areas. Visitors reach the site by car or taxi.
At 107 metres, the towers were the first skyscrapers in Yucatán to pass 100 metres and, when completed, the tallest buildings between Puebla and Panama. Torre Aqua was inaugurated on 27 November 2014 and Torre Terra on 3 December 2015.
