Technically Monterrey is part of North America and yes in summer can be very hot, although the annual average is around 70F - 21C

Since the city is located in a beautiful mountain valley, during summer time, people like to drive out the city to some nature parks that exist just out the city

like Cumbres de Monterrey

It also snows in some winters, right?

Wow super pics. I heard that Monterrey was a very european-like city. This pic is my favorite.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/dancingwithnacos/mcfrtturuja8.jpg

Oh wow, great night shots. Does anyone have any info on the construction projects going on in Monterrey? Last I remember, they had a number of new buildings being erected throughout the city. The city is growing fast, like most of Mexico.

Also, does anyone know how tall the mountains are?

^^ The Cerro de la Silla (Chair's Mountain), the one with the two tops that reminds a horse chair is 5,972ft.

Regarding the buildings, as long as I know since I don't live in Monterrey, the newest one is a government building of 36 floors and 591ft. This building will host every government department office's of the state.

Yes, Monterrey, and all Mexico have some great projects, some of them already in construction, these are two of the most important projects in Monterrey, one start its construction next month, and the other one is about to be approved. Officially both will be 180 meters hight, but we might have a surprise with this one, that according to this article will be the new tallest in the city.

Monterrey touts plans for its new tallest tower

Wednesday, June 06, 2007
By Kelly Matlock

Monterrey, Mexico (NCS) - It may not seem so immense when compared to its backdrop: the famous Cerro de la Silla mountain range consisting of four peaks reaching 5,970 feet at the highest point and the Sierra Madre Oriental with a highest elevation of 12,182 feet. Still, a building to rise 590 feet above ground planned for Monterrey, Mexico is big news.

Not only will it earn the title of the tallest tower in the city and the fourth tallest in the country, but it will be positioned as an icon in a very wealthy and business-savvy community. Once referred to as “the best city in Latin America to do business” and reputed as having a higher quality of living than most other cities on the continent, Monterrey will only be highlighted by the new skyscraper about to emerge.

The 40-story, mixed use tower was selected by developer Grupo Internacional de Iversiones as the winning entry in a design competition featuring several world-renowned architects.

The architectural firm crowned for the winning design, HOK Mexico, was founded in 1993 and is known for recent projects including HSBC Mexico Headquarters Tower, MetLife Mexico Headquarters and Bank of America offices in Mexico City. HOK is a global firm that specializes in planning, design and delivery solutions for buildings and communities. With 25 offices worldwide, the practice serves diverse clients within corporate, commercial, public and institutional sectors.

The multipurpose project in Monterrey will include 116 apartments on 30 floors with 11 floors reserved for office and retail space. The building will comprise
Night view rendering of the 40-story tower
750,000 square feet and will accommodate 1,200 parking spaces.

The tower’s unique shape and high-tech glass façade will help it become a symbol of pride as well as a major landmark for the “city of mountains” and for all of Mexico. Located in San Pedro Garza, Nuevo Leon on Lazaro Cardenas Avenue, it will provide a striking, sculptural presence to the skyline during the day and will become a glowing white beacon at night.

“The design is conceptualized and based in a sculpture,” said Luis Fernandez de Ortega, an associate at HOK Mexico who worked on the project. “The base of the sculpture will be the parking garage for the vehicles. The building itself has two different pieces, the black part will contain the speculative office space, and the white piece will be primarily for the apartments.”

According to Ortega, “the building [was] designed with cutting edge technology in terms of software, based on building information modeling (BIM). All of the renderings and the set of drawings come from the same model to reduce conflicts.”

Sustainability was a priority for HOK throughout the design process. Green design elements include rainwater collection, storage and re-use for irrigation and toilet flushing, low-flow plumbing fixtures and waterless urinals and maximum daylighting. A high-tech and low-E glass curtain wall will be used to prevent solar heat gain. A monitored, high-efficiency underfloor air system will condition only occupied spaces, and a raised floor system will allow for easy access and adaptability of mechanical, power and data systems. HOK championed the pursuit of LEED certification over the course of the design competition and the proposal remains under consideration.

The tower is scheduled to start construction in the fourth quarter of 2007. Upon delivery in 2009, the tower will replace the 545-foot (166 meters) Torre Latinoamericana, in Mexico City, as the fifth tallest building in the country.

The tallest building in Mexico is Torre Mayor in Mexico City, designed by Zeidler Roberts Partnership. The tower was completed in 2003 and measures 739 feet (225.4 meters) to the top of its pinnacle. The 1984 Torre Ejecutiva Pemex in Mexico City is the second tallest, rising 693 feet (211.3 meters). Torre Altus, completed in 1998 is the third tallest at 640 feet (195 meters) and The World Trade Center Ciudad de Mexico follows as the fourth tallest with a height of 628 feet (191.3 meters), including its spire.

Monterrey has two lines, and the second one is in expansion right now, here some info and pics

The Monterrey Metro is the most modern metro system in Mexico, being most advanced in its service infrastructure. It currently has 70 high floor electric trains that travel at aprox 57km/h and transports approximately 50 million passengers each year.
http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/dancingwithnacos/160px-Metrologo.jpg
The Monterrey Metro, officially known as Metrorrey, has two lines. Line 1 was opened in 1991 and runs through the center of the city from the north-west to the eastern part of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area. Line 1 runs over an elevated structure, 18.5 km long, with 19 stations and runs parallel to the former 1887 Topo Chico tramline. A complete ride along this line takes about 27 minutes. Line 1 is linked to line 2 at Cuauhtémoc station, located downtown. Line 2 (underground) was opened in 1994, is 4.5 km long and has 6 stations. Line 2 runs from the metro shops located north to the Cuauhtémoc station to Macroplaza and, when completed, it will be 24 km. long.

An 8.5km expansion for line 2 began in August 2005 and is expected to be completed in 2007 in time for the 2007 Universal Forum of Cultures which will be held in Monterrey. 1.5km of the expansion will be tunnel from General Anaya and the rest elevated like Line 1. The expected cost of the expansion is around $200 million USD.

Soccer/Football is the most popular game in Monterrey, but Baseball has a lot of tradition here too. You're right, Mayor League Baseball had been played in Monterrey in several times, they even tried to get the Expos, some games were played in 1996, 1998 and 1999 including an opening day.

UNA SUGERENCIA

No pongas todas las fotos juntas, brinca al menos un renglon o deja un renglon entre cada foto para que se vean bien, de otra forma todas pegadas no se distinguen bien

Gracias por tu sugerencia Blueman generalmente lo hago, esta ves traia un poco de prisa :runaway:

Definetely Monterrey is a world class city. It has it all.

Monterrey´s ¨Casa de Loros¨reminds me of Bush Gardens in the States.

What an amazing city with a fantastic mountain backdrop!! :) What's the population?

Thanks for your comments, at your question, the Metro pop. is about 3,600 mill

These are some great shoots of Monterrey highways, avenues, and streets at night made by city photographers, they are many autopistas. A very well communicated city.

Yep, a lot of Americans hold biased feelings about Mexico since they been exposed to poor and uneducated Illegal Immigrants of Mexican origin and blitzkrieg visits to¨border towns¨looking to get drunk,also Hollywood view of Mexico greatly influence such way of view.

I can only remember such ignorant movies like recent ,DELTA FARCE or THREE AMIGOS or even worst ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO.:ohno:

Thank god NOT all Americans think this way.

Even border cities like Cd. Juarez and Tijuana are recovering from this terrible reputation they were given from hollywood. I don't know where that image as it is came from, but yes, most people base it on the poor uneducated inmigrants sadly.

Good thing Mexico is changing even more than it was. Hopefully its bad image will fade away. :)

Guys, it's yup not yep.

:tongue3:

Que bonito!

Este ciudad es magnifico! Me gusta los montanas!

Great thread!

Guys, it's yup not yep.

Thank you for all your comments, now I want to show you the best Monterrey "highrises", its beautiful mountains.

Gracias por todos sus comentarios, les quiero mostrar ahora los mejores "rascacielos" de Monterrey, sus montañas :)

Very nice. Looks like a nice city. Has Monterrey boomed since NAFTA came into effect? The baseball stadium looks nice as well.

out of this world.

Monterrey has always been a booming town. It's synonimous with wealth as far as Mexico is concerned. In many ways (even geographically), it is closer to what would be normal in Texas than to stereotypical Mexico.

I LOVED THE PICTURES. HAD ALL THEM NOW IN MY FOLDER.

Mexico has incredible landscapes and a huge variety of climas from the humidity southern forest to the dry north and its desserts. It is a country to be discovered! Es mi primer destino pendiente fuera de Europa, espero poder ir pronto a visitaros!:)

Excelent photos! Thank you for posting, I would love to visit Monterrey!!!

You are very welcome to come!

For mexican standars, Monterrey was not considered a touristic town to visit due its industrial background, but that has changed in the last years thanks to a different asserted tourism campaigns to promote the natural beauty that city posses, and marketing as well all the new urban changes Monterrey had seen recently. Finally people had realized that Monterrey has so many new attractions and activities to offer like new museums, lots of shops, restaurants, new parks, etc. And since the city is in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains, there are many outdoors activities to do like hiking, mountain biking or just relax on top of a hill with an stunning view of the city.

This year, the most important event in the city is the second edition of the Universal Forum of Cultures Monterrey 2007 backed by UNESCO
The first one was held in Barcelona back in 2004, The Forum’s events will be tailored to every type of public and will include exhibitions, performances, congresses and lectures, offering an inter flow between the public and artists, intellectuals, political leaders, scientists, economists and experts in environmental protection from every region of the planet, and the local government had placed in effect an urban plan to beautified the city with many important projects.

Thanks, well they are both very different cities, Mexico City is huge, with great history, deep culture, and more cosmopolitan sense; Monterrey beauty is different, great nature, with an urban, business and social structure based on hard work and creativity to reach "first world" standards.

As a traditional industrialized, and business city, Monterrey has obtain international recognition and success, however to keep competing as a global city and improving the living standard levels of its inhabitants, Monterrey is now in a transition to be a Knowledge Innovation Zone creating an environment where Human, Financial and Physical Resources are meshed together for economic and social benefit.

Many terms are used to describe these investments: Creative City, Science City, Region of the Future, High Tech Corridor, Smart City, Knowledge Communities, Knowledge Clusters are a few. At their core are investments collectively in billions of dollars and an economic agenda fueled by a shared desire to exploit knowledge and creative intellect as the engine to drive economic performance.
Focusing on sustainable knowledge creation and application, and directed towards economic and social development, they are rapidly expanding worldwide. As with all new investments, risks are high, rewards great.

Other world cities applying the same criteria are...

Almere, Netherlands
Barcelona, Spain
Calgary, Canada
Ciudad de Saber, Panama
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Jo’burg, South Africa
Leuven, Belgium
Manchester, UK
Melbourne, Australia
Palmerston North, New Zealand
Silicon Valley, California
Tianjin, China

Thank you Leeigh, That's right Monterrey has a lot to offer, many people see Mexico trough out Cancun, Acapulco, Mexico City; colonial towns, or pre-hispanic sites, but know very little of other cities more modern like Monterrey, and it just going to be better this city has invest a lot in infrastructure as well as beautification for the future. I Love Miami too! I've been there many times. :cheers:

this is what I'm talking about, Monterrey is finally promoted by the Mexican Tourism Board to special place to visit, although Mariachi bands (music) are from Jalisco, not from MTY. Monterrey traditional music is Norteño music, but lots of new alternative bands too

Woooa, thanks for all the pics, Mefistofeles

Cheers for MTY! :)

Thank´s for all the photos
Monterrey´s landscape and cityscape are just amazing!!!

In Monterrey Metro Area, San Pedro is an independent municipality, just like South Beach is in Miami, or Santa Monica, in LA; the city is highly developed with many parks, private schools, gardens, and corporations.
It is often regarded as Latin America's most affluent suburb. San Pedro is one of Mexico's cleanest and safest cities thanks in part to its wealthy citizens taking such an active part in their community.
Calzada del Valle, Calzada San Pedro and Gomez Morin Beautiful 3 lane intersecting gardened boulevards. Some of the most exclusive shops lie right here. Joggers can be seen in the mornings. In Christmas time trees are lit by thousands of lights to add splendor to the zone.

Here some pictures...

Generally, the air is relatively clean, but most of the times you see at least a bit of haze, often due to humidity combined with a bit of smoke, but yesterday the afternoon winds cleared the sky:

Honestly, where in the world do you find mountains like these? Not just the one in the second picture, but the Saddler mountain and "Chipinque". The only thing to complain about this city is the weather. There's no better place to live.

Here some different views of one of many landmarks in Monterrey. Faro de Comercio Tower, by famous Mexican architect Luis Barragan not too tall, but I love it :)
The most distinctive and famous characteristic of the monument is that at nights, it beams a rotatory green laser all over Monterrey and its Metropolitan Area. It also focuses its light at some historical points of the city such as the Monumental Flag atop of the Cerro del Obispado (Bishopric Hill) and the old State Government Palace.

it would be good to post some pictures of the monterrey´s industrial meaning, im talking about the factories, some of them are impressive and huge, like, cydsa, vitro, cemex, imsa, and the rest of them, i think they expose our city like many people know, "capital industrial de mexico", but there are no pictures i think,:(

:cheers:

it would be good to post some pictures of the monterrey´s industrial meaning, im talking about the factories, some of them are impressive and huge, like, cydsa, vitro, cemex, imsa, and the rest of them, i think they expose our city like many people know, "capital industrial de mexico", but there are no pictures i think,:(

That would be great Jorge, we'll keep looking for them

wow hace como 7 años fui y estaban excabando y no sabia para ke y ahora me encuentro con esto wow!!!!!! kedo super

Santa Lucia riverwalk is gorgeous!!!

how are these jumpers known? i mean his alias or something??

Hey Jorge to your question, they are known as "le parcaurs" or urban jumpers, and the physical discipline is called Parkour in English, its an art form founded by the french David Belle, of human fluidity movement over and under obstacles in the built and/or natural environment. L' Art du Deplacement.

Quick thinking out of difficult situations and physical agility allow the person to go almost anywhere. It requires elegant movement between you and the obstacle.

Here a picture of David Belle,

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/dancingwithnacos/300px-David_Belle.jpg

I'm glad this discipline is practiced in Monterrey too.
:)

wow I never thought this discipline was practiced here

wow I never thought this discipline was practiced here

I was kind a surprised too, Mara.

But let's continue to show more Monterrey pics, this I took it from the MTy thread, and shows how Santa Lucia Riverwalk could look in the near future; at least the plaza civica buidling will start construction this year. (white one) :)

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/dancingwithnacos/pict0574pj4cg3.jpg

Nice natural surrounding! But the urban environment look a bit boring.

Nice natural surrounding! But the urban environment look a bit boring.

I invite you to take a look at this thread fromt the beginning to the end. :)

Nice natural surrounding! But the urban environment look a bit boring.

If you are judging only by the last picture, well that's only a park in its last phase of construction, in will help to develop a limited area of downtown Monterrey where once was the largest Steel Factory in Latin America, but the city its larger than that project, and its very well urbanized on many other neighborhoods, is not the typical American city, with a downtown and suburban areas.

I'll show you other pictures that probe what I'm talking about.

Indeed, but I think most of the best pictures that are shown in this thread are not shown in the Mexican forums. If for some reason some of the pictures are not yours, you might want to say who's picture is it or from what page did you get it, some people might not like others uploading their work without being given any credit for it.

By the way, I don't know about any of you guys who live here, but the only thing I complain about Monterrey is the weather.

Hey Jose, if you check carefully I include some of the pictures autor's names, but on others I don't since they are from public sites.

Thanks anyway :)

I've been to some cities in Mexico but never been to Monterrey. Beautiful skyline, might wanna visit someday.

Very interesting city with a beautiful mountain backdrop!

I guess this city has many things in common with Belo Horizonte, the city in which I live in Brazil, because of the scenery and the role they play in their respective countries.

Let´s see the similarities: Both are latin american cities and the third metro areas of their countries. Belo Horizonte has 2,3 million inhabitants and a total of 5,1 million in the metro area, and greater Belo Horizonte is also a industrial area and business center. BH has a mountain backdrop as well, and is far away form the sea.

Keep on sharing the pics of your amazing city with us, Avolar.

Viva Monterrey!

Hey Rafael, you're right Bello Horizonte and Monterrey share a lot of similarities.

I'd love to go some day, thank you for your comments.

P.S. I'll check the brazilian forum to know more about Bello!

Besides the Monterrey symbol, El Cerro de la Silla (Saddle Hill), there are some other beautiful mountains that are unmistakable part of Monterrey too

Hey Rafael, you're right Bello Horizonte and Monterrey share a lot of similarities.

I'd love to go some day, thank you for your comments.

P.S. I'll check the brazilian forum to know more about Bello!

:)

I guess you´d like coming down.
I´d like a lot to go to Monterrey and other parts of Mexico.
The only time I went to Mexico I went to Cancun, Cozumel and Chichen Itza, but Mexico - I know - is much more than this places in the Yucatan region. :)

Monterrey is fantastic, great!! amazing!! Is my city, and I 'm totally proudly about all wonderfulls are in the city and surroundings!

Vancouver-based AldrichPears Associates. Today, this unique museum officially opens its doors to the 2007 Universal Forum of Cultures in Monterrey.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/dancingwithnacos/ggfgfgcb4-1.jpg

Working closely with Museo del Acero staff, AldrichPears Associates developed the conceptual design and exhibits for the new museum. This world-class facility tells the history of steelmaking in Mexico, explains the process of making steel step by step, and allows visitors to experience the excitement of standing next to a working blast furnace.

What makes the Museo del Acero so unique is that it is housed inside a ninety-meter-high blast furnace on the site of Mexico's first integrated steel mill, Fundidora de Monterrey. Horno No. 3 was built in 1967 and decommissioned when the mill closed in 1986.

The Museo del Acero's 16,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space offers a variety of exciting experiences that cater to diverse audiences. In the history gallery, México a Través del Acero, visitors can listen to steelworkers' stories on telephones and dress up as factory laborers. The playful, science-based steel gallery, La Acería, makes use of immersive environments and full body play to transport visitors to the mill or the mine. The museum's must-see attraction, El Gigante Dormido brings Horno No. 3 to life through shooting sparks and bursts of flames. Finally, visitors can ride inside what was once the ore lift to the top of the blast furnace.

"Visitors see how science and technology is relevant in their everyday lives by being able to interact with exhibits on the steelmaking process," says Luis López Pérez, the director of the museum. Part science center, part museum, and part thrill ride, the Museo del Acero will inspire the country's future steel scientists and engineers.

About AldrichPears Associates:
AldrichPears Associates is a Vancouver-based firm that provides exhibit design and planning services to museums, science centers, zoos, and interpretive centers. Serving an international clientele, the firm plans and creates compelling and entertaining visitor experiences that captivate the imagination and invite lifelong learning.

Nothing special

Yes people usually say that the real high rises in the city are its beautiful mountains.

gracias!:okay:

The ONLY...

Great job Avolar Alto. The pictures of Monterrey are incredible. Thanks to Mara and Fermin Tellez for their pictures also.

Nothing special

Whatever, Rio is beautiful, except that is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, and poverty is so high, at least we don't have that in Monterrey uh?

by the way,
Monterrey Metropolitan Area has been ranked as having the highest GDP per capita and as the most secure conurbation in Latin America in 2005[2] and one of the two most secure in 2006.

The best for business 2007, and I can continue...

So why be so superficially beautiful, if you have so many problems in your soul
:lol:
