Sinaloa Building 193 – Alonso de Garay Architects

The strong territorial expansion of Mexico City in recent decades has led to the neglect and decay of many former colonies of the capital’s most historic and tradition, such as Roma, Condesa Juárez, among others, many properties in early the last century belonged to families of the high society of the capital, and remains today are oldies damaged by the accumulation of years of neglect, compounded later by the 1985 earthquake.

In recent years, these colonies are being exploited by employers and Mexican architects to recycle and recover, either renovating old style buildings and turning them into works of modern architecture, or demolishing and building again to be part of a new era of Mexican architecture. This movement has resulted in these areas again become the most expensive and sought after in the Mexican capital.

193 Sinaloa was a last-century building, located in the Roma, who at one time was training center Atlantic Bank and later was in the abandonment, causing it to be invaded and become a ruin. Years later was recovered by HSBC Bank and in 2010 the property was acquired by the company LAND CAPITAL, to recycle it and turn it into a building of affordable media with a very bold and modern concept.
