Torre Rise

Monterrey is about to hold a record that’s stood with no Mexican city in the modern skyscraper era: tallest building in Latin America. Torre Rise passed roughly 300 meters in early 2026 on its way to a planned 484, and once it tops out it will edge past every tower in the region and rank second in the Americas behind One World Trade Center.

Project Scope

Rising in the Obispado district, the tower runs 94 floors above grade with five levels below. It’s mixed-use in the fullest sense: roughly 20 floors of apartments, 40 of offices, a 10-floor hotel under the Kimpton flag, retail, parking, and an observation deck and restaurant near the top. Construction started in May 2022, and the schedule has been pointed at completion around the 2026 World Cup, the global event Monterrey is helping host.

Why It Matters

A 484-meter tower is a serious feat of engineering anywhere, and more so on a site that sits in a seismic region with its own wind and soil challenges. The residential floors and branded residences are the draw for buyers, but the build itself is the story for the trades: pumping concrete to that height, bracing against lateral loads, and sequencing a vertical city of hotel, office, and home. For Monterrey, long Mexico’s industrial capital, it’s a statement that the country’s tallest tower won’t be in the capital. The supertall is being built into the same global run-up in steel and metal costs squeezing tall-building budgets everywhere.
