there where no high buildings 5 years ago :)

It was an stupid law that didnt permit to build high towers from late 60´s to late 80´s.

It has a spread skyline, but it has pretty attractive settings too, i don't think that its skyline is ugly, instead i think is different, it has a special quality in open areas, very clean and well ordered city.

Wow, not bad at all!
I have never seen this skyline.

8.5!

It's a bit tough to say that Monterrey does not have a skyline just because it does not look like New York or Hong Kong.

It does have a skyline but you have to put it in the contest that it is. It's part of latin america and besides the capital of the countries I can bet that it has one of the top 5 skylines of all latin american cities.

This city is growing rapidly. Give it 10 years and It will look as neat as the top 30 cities of the world. :cheers:

So placing it in its current context I'll give it a 9.5

:cool:

Some nice buildings, but from a distance the skyline is weak. 5

Monterrey tendrá un skyline superfuturista e increible en tan solo unos diez años, debido a tantos proyectos que se llevan a cabo en el cada año, yo le doy un 8.5 es una zona en crecimiento!:)

con lo de poco comunicado no me referia a las infraestructuras que tiene la ciudad, si no poco comunicada la ciudad en si, que parece desordenada, como si los distintos barrios de la ciudad no estuvieran bien comunicados entre ellos,refiriendome en la morfologia de las calles simplemente.

The first time I went to Monterrey I was driving and my girlfriend was with me and neither one of us know the city because were are not from there. We went into the city to do all the tourist stuff and surprisingly we didn't get lost. I think it is rather easy to drive around Monterrey, the signs are pretty easy to follow and you can usually get in and out of this city pretty quickly ;)

Beautiful mountain !

for latinamerican standards seems to have very good quality and development, for international standards seems to be on the path but still away. 6.5 /10 :)

Niiice. Its not very big, but tall. :)

Looks a bit chinese. 7/10

poor skyline. uncool scrapers. 4/10

I love the way the hills reflect off of the mirror-windowed scrapers :)

"Very very OLD pictures!!!"

that is true

and monterrey is the second most important of méxico guadalajara is the second most populated and big. and 3.2 million had in 1990. monterrey today have 4.0 millions and guadalajara have 4.5 millions.

is the second most important because after the méxico city is the most important economy in méxico to aport 10% of the mexican PIB...

Skyscrapers are quite nice, but skyline is very scattered, it needs much more density ;) 6/10

Surprising. I give it a 7/10.

Cool skyscrapers, maybe too scattered across the city, but taller and better designed than those ugly boxes that fill brazilian cities :). 7

Overall, I give it a 6.0 for a skyline, but it has gotten much better than it used to be, and you can't beat the natural skyline. Very nice pics, though.

If the seventh pic wasnt a fake i'd give it a 8!!! but right now its sitting at 4.5 for me

7.5/10

I actually like it. It has some nice towers too.

i dont like the skyline... neither the buildings...
the new scrapers skyline looks a bit messy...

Office Vacancy rates have been going down so expect some new office high rises to begin construction.

Nice city with a big skyline, 8.5/10

8.5
This is just the begining of a great city

Looks nice... 5.5/10

beautiful city, great buildings, great natural landscapes

on the skyline department i give it 8.5 because of the natural settings and its great beginning...

yes its not many buildings, and yes, they are not supertall, yes they are not all located within one square mile... but for the characteristics of this city they are great

btw... to all the people who say it looks unorganized, etc i've lived in atlanta for several years now and from the times i have visited monterrey (driving) i found that the roads are set up much better there, its easier to get around, and the roads are in much better condition..... so i conclude that monterrey is a very well organized city

8.5 for me too! I love cities with lots of green. The beauty of the city is enhanced by the moutain...

the city is very organized because of the highways and freeways are very fast to travel...

The setting is spectacular, but the skyline itself needs some more buildings before I give it a higher rating. :)

sunrise downtown
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2425/amanecer2no.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

A few tall buildings and some gorgeous mountains. 5.

For a city of such importance in Mexico as Monterrey it does have a skyline thats too plain looking and boring. From the pics you can only see a few tall buildings scattered all over the place, the rest looks pretty flat and not very interesting, except for the mountains (like the cerro de la silla).
Recently I went to the Monterrey forum and saw some news about the possibility of buiding in the future a business district, but don't really remember the details.
For now a 5.

I like this city and its buildings but frankly i don't like its mountains.

7/10

6/10 Empty but at least it's developing

I t has a good skyline, and i think it will improve in the future.

Some buildings look interesting.. It is a shame they are too far apart though. 4

i think monterrey's skyline only need two or three more tall buildings to be a 9/10

I really like the way the tallest buildings are distributed all over the city. I like it this way, then the city's downtown feels like an open space. It feels awesome just to take a walk around the Macroplaza, you can look around and see lots of mountains and this is because downtown is not full of tall buildings, otherwise everything you could see from the Macroplaza would be nothing but concrete and glass. Don't get me wrong, I love Monterrey's buildings, but I think it's awesome that they aren't concentrated in a single spot.

8/10

:)

5.5/10

i think monterrey's skyline only need two or three more tall buildings to be a 9/10

I can't be that optimistic. I guess Monterrey could use 2 or 3 dozens of tall buildings to get a good 7/10.

The good news is it'll get tall buildings by the dozens, because Monterrey has the spirit and the money.

Very nice located city with a few nice high buildings. 6/10

8.5/10

Small for a city with Monterrey´s size 4/10

I don't know why Monterrey doesn't have many tall buildings especially office ones considering is the second city in economic importance in Mexico.

i think is the 3rd best skyline in mexico :
1.- Mexico city
2.- Acapulco
3.-Monterrey
4.-Guadalajara, etc, etc, etc...

guadalajara is growing faster , i think it has a better skyline than monterrey and maybe than acapulco.

I also think Guadalajara skyline is better than Monterrey skyline.

wayyyy to spread out

i love this city i think it is very beautiful

^^Tu comentario no pudo ser mas estupido. ¿Porque te molestas? Es la verdad, el skyline de MTY es patetico para sua importancia. ¿Que quieres? ¿Que le den un dies? Eso dejalo para Hong Kong, Dubai o NY. Sea objetivo no te dejes llevar por tu nacionalismo. MTY no tiene un gran skyline. Ojala lo tenga en un futuro.

Le doy un 4...

idiota porque wei? yo nomas expreso lo que siento la neta y es la verdad se la pasan diciendo pura basura de mexico la neta


Yo tambien expreso lo que siento despues de que lei tu comentario. Y creo que eres un idiota en decir lo que sientes sobre los Americanos en este thread. :nuts:

Creo que la ciudad Monterrey puede ser interesante, pero de skyline no lo es. Ademas otras personas que no son Americanos dicen lo mismo. Enonces tu estas muy pasado, Wei. :ohno:

3 or less.

Hi El Champo.. just wanted to inform you that the name of the website you are posting your shitty posts on is called SKYSCRAPERcity.COM... I'm so happy with your honest ratings that I would like to give your cities my deepest, most sincere, truely honest ratings.
Not to spite anyone but if this is how one will play the stupid little rating game I might as well take a realistic crack at it.

My honest opinion; nothing particularly special about this skyline at all. I love the fake 60 wall street that stands almost alone among low rises. Makes for a real nice skyline. The mountain thing is not unique to you either so UH OH nothing new there as well. While this may seem harsh giving US cities below 5 is pretty goddamned stupid if you are on a website dedicated to the skyscraper. Wanna know who created the modern skyscraper? Chicago the city you probably voted a 4 which puts anything in Mexico or any other place really to shame. Who popularized the skyscraper and skyline? New York City. You gave Gotham a 5..... Jealous much? Whatever you say dude that's how I see it. Good choke on your jealousy, you suck. You got my honest opinion. Take it however you want it.

This guy from Mexico tries to talk smack about the U.S. skylines.
I find it so funny how he rates all our skylines "not impressive" "too big" or "too many murders".
you're a dirty, dirty man Ferguz

Que pena me dan carlscraper y ferguz! dejen de poner a Mexico en ridiculo con sus comentarios pendejos!

I actually kinda like it.........8/10 :)
And NYgirl, Great post!

Monterrey really does not have a very good skyline if we compare it with Tokyo or Hong Kong, NY, Houston etc etc... But there will have new projects at medium term.

I'm gonna give 8/10 comparing to other Latin America cities

Wow, Monterrey looks pretty cool. I have to visit to see what it's really like because after going to Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo I have a pretty awful impression of Mexico. With all the crazy drivers, militia with guns (Nuevo Laredo) and run down facilities I really feared for my life.

Don´t Worry, no matter all.. Mexico is a safe country for tourist...

that CBD has like 3 main buildings, not that impressive, looks like a suburban skyline.

In fact, it´s a suburban skyline... but it´s better than the skyline in downtown area...
