It's a nice tower but everything but the front is bland. It's ordinary but for it's location it gets a 7.......prominent stature. Hoorah for Mexico!!!

7

could be more but they dismissed the back half of the bldg......

But for what it lacks it makes up specially at night with the neon lights and lighted top.

The best building in Latin America by far, I saw a similar building in Lima Peru The Interbank Tower althought is half the Torre Mayor height it does look similar.
9/10

8/10

Looks like a giant version of Birmingham's HCT from some angles.

I like it.

Respect for Latin America's highest tower! 10.0

This looks like a nice building. I am giving it 8/10. It's not my favourite kind of design, but I like that view from farther away where you can see the "half-circle" shape at the top. Pretty impressive building.

Chibcha2k · December 27th, 2004, 04:40 AM

i like it a lot...a 10 /10 but the back would've been better if it was like the black part near the heliport

lrd1rocha · February 14th, 2005, 11:16 AM

Superb, it really blends with Mexico City. 10/10

sdtj · February 14th, 2005, 11:50 AM

Other angles...

This is an odd question but - due to the front facade curving, wouldn't that mean that the glass panels on the curved face do not match up with the glass panels on the moon-shaped face?

MattSal · March 20th, 2005, 04:57 AM

Very individual and creative, but still ugly. I give it a 5.5/10.

10 / 10... besides its beauty, it was designed to resist earthquakes from more that 8° Richter
