Plaza Carso

Located on the site of a former decommissioned Vitro Glass factory in Nuevo Polanco, Plaza Carso is the largest redevelopment project in Latin America with over 1,250,000 m2 of commercial, residential, retail, and cultural buildings as well as new public space. Originally conceived in 2005, the design recognizes cultural and architectural excellence as key drivers for economic and social change, and as necessary anchors in creating a new destination and business center in Latin America’s largest city.
A mix of cultural and recreational destinations—the Soumaya Museum (2010), Museo Jumex (2013), and Teatro Cervantes (2013)—makes it among the city’s newest and most attractive destinations. In total, Plaza Carso’s development includes 11 apartment buildings, 9 office towers with commercial programming in the lower levels, and 4 cultural buildings.
