History

The history of tall buildings in the city of Guadalajara began in the 1960s, when the 55-meter-high Minerva Tower was built. Three years later, the city's first skyscraper was built, the Guadalajara Condominium, 105 meters high and with 26 floors. By 1965, the city already had its second skyscraper, the Hilton Hotel (now the Hotel Misión Carlton), which was 80 meters high and had 20 floors.

During the 1970s, other buildings continued to be built, most of them under 80 meters high, such as the Federal Palace, the Centro Médico de Occidente, among others. However, in 1972, the Plaza Américas Condominium was inaugurated, becoming the third skyscraper to be built in the city. Six years later, the towers of the Américas Country Residential Condominium were inaugurated.

By the 1980s, more buildings were built, however, most of them less than 80 meters high, the only one to exceed this height was the Hotel Fiesta Americana, 84 meters high and opened in 1982.

In the 1990s, a small boom in the construction of new buildings began to take place, of which two stand out as having become a reference point in the urban panorama of the city: the Hotel Hilton Guadalajara (on Avenida Las Rosas) and the Torre Chapultepec, built in 1994 and 1995 respectively.

In the new millennium, there was a boom in skyscrapers in the Puerta de Hierro district mainly, highlighting the Torre Aura Altitude, Torre Aura Lofts, Torre Aura Puerta de Hierro, Centro Médico Puerta de Hierro, Torre Titanium, Torre Corporativo Zapopan, the Torres Acueducto Tres60 and the Heritage Grand Tower Guadalajara; all between 100 and 150 m high. In the Country Club-Providencia area, new buildings were built, most notably Américas 1501 in Punto Sao Paulo.

In the 2010s, new buildings continued to be built that were taller than the previous ones, with the Hotel Riu Guadalajara Plaza, Hyatt Regency Andares and Corporativo Bansi being the tallest in the city by the end of the decade.

Since the foundation of the New Kingdom of Galicia, the Mexican state of Jalisco has established itself as a main hub in the national economy and as the business centre of the western portion of the country. Although its economic strength is mainly concentrated in the capital, Guadalajara, the rest of the state enjoys a growing prosperity in diverse economic areas. Forest products are obtained along the coast, and mining for silver, gold, mercury, copper, and precious stones is an important activity. The beverage tequila, distilled from the juice of the agave cactus, is named for the town of that name in Jalisco and is one of the state’s best-known products. Since the state is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, tourism is an important economic engine. In 2006 20 million local and international tourists visited the state, contributing to an economic revenue of 25 billion pesos, 11% higher than in 2005. Guadalajara is served by one of the country’s busiest airports and is one of the state’s major tourist centres. Puerto Vallarta is a popular tourist destination among young students. The state ranks number three in terms of nominal GDP behind Nuevo León State. Since the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994 the state has been experiencing a high rate of investment. Jalisco, like many other industrial states in the country, has evolved from a producer of cheap, low-quality goods into an exporter of sophisticated products, from auto brake systems to laptop computers. 86% of the population is urban, higher than the national average of 76%.
