If it is under construction, this tower should be moved to the skyscrapers section........if it is just a proposed project, its ok here......

This is the Rojkind tower to be build over Reforma Ave isnt it?

Right, just in front of "La Diana Cazadora" monument.

That first shot is absolutely mesmerizing! Such a stately, beautiful, contemporary tower.

proposed

plain and simple beauty...

wow, that's a great tower! but isn't there any extra info or news to know the chances of getting built?

Stunning proposal!

From Dezeen.

R432 by Rojkind Arquitectos.

This skyscraper by Mexican studio Rojkind Arquitectos is about to commence construction in Mexico City.

Called R432, the project unites 12 plots of land and will extend 52 floors into the air.

The first three floors will accommodate restaurants and shops, with residential apartments above them on 35 storeys.

The tower will also include leisure facilities for inhabitants and a hotel at the summit.

The interior will be divided into 70 square metre units that can be joined horizontally or vertically to create differently-shaped living units.

Rojkind Arquitectos getting ready to break ground for a new High-Rise in Mexico City’s prestigious Reforma Avenue.

Reforma Avenue has been one of Mexico City’s main avenues since the second half of the 19th century, and is one of the most important avenues and city hallmarks due to its symbolic value and urban quality.

R432, on Reforma Avenue, has achieved the best construction conditions for its type of building. It is a project that fully embraces its urban condition. The building opens up to the street, and the street, fully guaranteeing safety, comfort and privacy enters into the building.

By uniting 12 lots of land we have a single lot stretching from Reforma Avenue, to Tokio Street, opening up the possibility of turning Manchester Street into a pedestrian walkway, giving the side facade a singular urban quality.

Of the 52 floors of R432, the first 3 are reserved for commerce and luxurious restaurants, offering their services to the occupants living on the higher levels of the tower while connecting them with the city, rich with experiences of an urban environment.

In total, five floors will be dedicated for parking and 35 for housing. There will also be floors dedicated to technical operations as well as recreation and entertainment of the inhabitants, including a gym, play area, swimming pool, massage area and jogging track.

The top 9 levels of the tower will host the Buddha Bar Hotel, which promises to be one of the city’s most enviable locations, enriching the lifestyle of the tower’s inhabitants.

This skyscraper doesn’t just multiply the base area by its number of floors; it also intensifies the potential for the use of the building. The greatest challenge is not just to pile one floor on top of the other, but rather to imply them with one another, or better yet, to complicate them into each other.

The tower is divided into blocks or zones, that are identified by a theme or rather by an ambiance based on Gaston Bachelard’s Imagination of Matter; each of them implying colors, textures, smells and sounds. Starting from the ground up; Earth, Stone, Metal, Crystal, Water, Rain, Seeds, Plants, and Fire.

Starting from the basic 70 square meter unit that is generated by the structure of the tower, the housing elements can be made by combining two, three or more of these units; horizontally, vertically or in a combination of both, allowing for different spatial and functional configurations.

Your home can occupy several levels and enjoy different views, creating a unique combination that will set it apart from the rest.

After this explanation we can conclude that this will be a world-class tower.

I like the idea of customizable units for the apartments. Never done before in a tower.

Excelent project and great additional information!

Somehow i don´t understand very clearly these floor plans . . .

I believe each section will evoque this themes.

This is an awesome tower for Mexico city!!

AWESOME building. I can't wait to go and check it out when it's done. :banana:

Amazing tower. :)

Me definitely likes, when does it break ground?

Umm.. it looks okay but if that is how it will look in real life, then Mexico City better get a new design. I hope it's one of those things where the renders look like shit but the actual building looks amazing because those renders look wannabe visionary to me. :) I understand that most Mexicans here love it and they should cause it's in their country, but my non-native commentary is a little less biased IMO. :)

This will definitely stick out when it's made, now if only I could afford an apartment in it. Love the idea of customizable floors, and with so much glass I wonder if they'll use solar panels to power the thing.

Starting from the ground up; Earth, Stone, Metal, Crystal, Water, Rain, Seeds, Plants, and Fire. It just screams eco-friendly building to me.

The last construction on the site has already been demolished!:)

Viva Mexico!!!

Muy, muy bonita!!!

Great proposal, love the design.

It should be moved to prep. They are clearing the site now. This is really an excellent building. I personally think that it could turn out better than Torre Reforma.:cheers:

guao que guapo edificio!

nice

Magnificent! Is this about to start?

What amazing building. A unique design in the world...
I'll be hoping that this building is built.

I love the design.

Definitely one of the more exciting and innovative designs since joining SSC!

Cool!

Has construction started? Can we get a picture of the site please?

^ +2.

It will be some nice looking building

Has construction started? Can we get a picture of the site please?

Not yet. They are waiting

LA Torre!

The building is running through a redesign phase due to a recent expansion of the land. The contractor is waiting for a financial agreement from Mexico City's goverment, once this is resolved, construction should move forward.

Great news, Otie!

Woow...
Great news. This design looks amazing. I'm really rooting for this project off the ground. :cheers:

Its totally out of place but truly one of my absolute favorite projects anywhere in the world. I just love it.

Possible re-design going underway due to the expansion of the land. The new portion of terrain used to be owned by mexican bank Banamex, which wouldn't give the land unless the tower could give them back the office space lost. Not sure what's going on right now, but it appears that another architect is being hired by the contractor, this new design appears to have more floors than the previous one, no official information released yet..

parece q Martin tenia razon en cuanto a la incorporacion del Banamex.
Encontre este NUEVO R432 mas alto(58 pisos) y OTRO despacho , no se si este seria el problema de espera de este proyecto o a lo mejor se concurso el proyecto,no se que alguien me explique ¡¡¡¡¡¡
Habra que ir al showroom e investigar que hay al respecto
Mientras tanto les presento la propuesta(y en su web dice 2011) :

Y a ponerse a INVESTIGAR que realmente sucede con el proyecto jejejej

This is stunning, but I prefer the original.

Best version ...

Rojkind is out, architect Michael Edmonds is now in charge of the project.

I prefer the original design, but the new one isn't bad. Hope to see it rising soon.

The first proposal was much better!! :cry: oh well at least this one is a good one too so glass is half full.

I agree with people saying that it looked better before the redesign - it went from brilliant to "ok". It's kind of sad, because it already looked like a solid contender for future skyscraper tournament ...

Too bad they redesign the project, the original design was phenomenal!

Anyway, here is better renderings by dbox of the old design.

Oh my, the old proposal was absolutely gorgeous. I hope they don't use ugly green glass on the new one.

Not really sure what to think about that picture. It certainly got the wow factor, but i'm not really sure i like the design. That old one was just drop dead gorgeous.

the old design wasn´t bad, but it had an awful flat wall on the east side. the best part was the facade, no doubt, but that could work anywhere. maybe between two building it would be perfect. the new design is better in my opinion, it doesn´t have a "back" side and it´s better integrated with the surrounding. hope it gets built fast.
