An international team of architects is set to deliver a striking new addition to the Guadalajara skyline, Legend.

The 190m-tall, mixed-use tower – slated to be the tallest building in the Andares Zapopan district – broke ground on Friday, 24 May. Spanning more than 110,000sq m, the building brings together an exclusive mix of luxury residences, a Canopy by Hilton hotel, boutique retail shops and office space.

The project is led by American architecture and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in collaboration with Mexico City-based Estudio AMA and hotel interior design by Héctor Esrawe of the award-winning Esrawe Studio.

Conceived from the inside out – merging architecture, views and landscapes – the project spans 52 floors with 7,500sq m of office space, 190 hotel rooms and 178 residential units occupying the highest floors. The design embraces indoor-outdoor living throughout, featuring lush courtyard retail at the base, with wellness and communal amenities on terraces at the midpoint and rooftops.
