The World Trade Center Mexico City is a mixed-use complex in the Benito Juárez neighborhood, designed by architect Guillermo Rossell de la Lama and completed in 1994. Its centerpiece, the Torre WTC, rises 50 stories to 207 meters (with antenna reaching 218 meters), making it the third tallest building in Mexico City. Constructed with insulated glazing, cement, and steel in a high-tech architectural style, the tower features a revolving luxury restaurant on the 45th floor and an observation gallery one level below. The broader complex encompasses a convention center, cultural center, shopping facilities anchored by a Sears (originally the first JCPenney location outside the United States), a multi-screen cinema, parking, and a 22-floor hotel. Located on Avenida de los Insurgentes in the wealthy Colonia Nápoles, the site is served by the nearby Poliforum Metrobús station and neighbors the under-construction Polyforum Tower.
