Monterrey’s Torre Rise Set to Become Latin America’s Tallest Building

Monterrey, Nuevo León — Mexico is set to gain one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Americas, with the Torre Rise in Monterrey projected to reach 484 meters and claim the title of Latin America’s tallest building.

Unlike the continent’s other mega-towers, the project is not rising in Mexico City but in the capital of Nuevo León. The tower occupies a site in the Obispado district, alongside Constitución Avenue and the Santa Catarina River, and is intended to become a new landmark for the city’s urban landscape.

The development is led by Grupo Ancore, working with NEST, which is handling the residential component, and ALORA, responsible for the hotel portion.

The building is designed with 101 levels in total — 96 floors plus five basement levels — with space set aside for housing, offices, lodging and retail.

Taller Than Central Park Tower

With a projected height of 484 meters, Torre Rise will surpass the Torre Obispado, also in Monterrey, which measures roughly 305 meters. Its habitable structure will reach 408.1 meters, with the remaining height coming from its architectural spire.

By way of comparison, Torre Rise will exceed the 472 meters of New York’s Central Park Tower and the 442 meters of Chicago’s Willis Tower, based on the architectural heights reported for those buildings. It will remain shorter than One World Trade Center, which stands at 541 meters.

Preliminary work began in 2022 and has advanced over the past several years. In September 2026, the project reached a significant milestone when the main structural phase was completed, according to information published by NEST, one of the companies involved. Work is now focused on interior spaces, amenities and finishes.

Offices, Hotel and a Panoramic Observation Deck

Beyond its height, Torre Rise stands out for the range of uses packed into a single structure. The project includes 35 floors of offices, 10 of hotel, 22 of apartments and four of retail, along with common areas and services for residents, workers and visitors.

Among its main attractions will be SkyDeck 360°, a panoramic observation deck that will let visitors look out over Monterrey from more than 400 meters up. The space will offer views of points across the city and the mountains surrounding it, including the iconic Cerro de la Silla.

The complex also includes more than 4,300 square meters of green space and more than 8,000 square meters of amenities, according to official project information. The facilities are part of a proposal that aims to combine housing, work, lodging and commercial activity in one development.

Completion Pushed to 2027

Although the Torre Rise was initially expected to be finished in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the project’s timeline has shifted.

A report by Infoobras published in September of this year said completion is now estimated for mid-2027, leaving several stages still to be completed before final delivery.

Once finished, Torre Rise is poised to become the tallest building in Mexico and Latin America, as well as a new architectural attraction for Monterrey. Its observation deck, commercial space, and mix of offices, hotel and residences are set to reshape the city’s urban landscape and place Monterrey at the center of the conversation about the continent’s major vertical developments.
