  The regulation of construction of Mexico City will be modified to be able to construct this tower.
Everything indicates that it will be approved soon, there have been many news, already majority in favor of the construction of the tower, as well as press conferences and meetings with the mayor of the Meixco City, who affirms that the first stone will be placed to the brevity.
The tower will be constructed to commemorate the 200 anniversary of independence of the country (the inauguration is expected the 16 of September of 2010: the mexican independence day) and is inspired by Mayan pyramids. |
