3 unusual facts about Torre Mayor


Torre Mayor

In 2003 Torre Mayor surpassed by less than one meter the 225-meter- (738-foot-) high towers of the Parque Central Complex in Caracas (Venezuela).

The dampening system proved its worth in January 2003, as a 7.6 earthquake shook the city.

Since then, multiple new buildings in Panama City have exceeded it in height and the Gran Torre Santiago in Santiago (Chile) (which is technically the tallest building in Latin America) has topped out at 300 meters (984 feet).
