More from Torre Bancomer.

According to Mowgly from SSC the "cab" for the new crane has arrived. We can also that workers have now started to continue the frame of the building ones again. Both Torre Reforma and Torre bancomer seem be really on a race

Here are some pictures. All credits to Mowgly from SSC Mexico.

Any tips as to where I can get floor plans, elevations and facades of this building?
Did it come out in any magazine or something?

Thx in advance!

It's hard to find things like that for this tower. If you don't feel this is good enough, you can always try asking that in the BBVA Tower thread in SSC Mexico. There you can find more people who have a better understanding about this tower. Here's the link for that thrad:
