The National Advisory Board of AMPI (The National Association of Real Estate Professionals) held its December meeting at the Conference Center in the 52 story Torre Mayor. The "Torre" is a "smart building" located on the Paseo Reforma in Mexico's capital.
I had the pleasure of joining the Board on its noon break for a tour of the building. It has many special features. Just one example is the giant shock absorbers system, located in the foundation. This has been designed to protect the building in the event of a major earthquake such as the one that hit the Federal District in 1985.
During the tour, we were told about an event that had happened next door, the day before. The Canadian Ambassador participated at a ground breaking center of a nine story commercial building. This will be constructed by Canada's Reichmann brothers who built the Torre Mayor. Passageways between the two buildings will be connected on floors two and nine. The new building has been totally leased, even although it will take three years to build.
Some of the items covered at the Board's meeting... ratification of the election of Sergio Duenas from Guadalajara as President for 2008, preliminary discussions on the 2008 Conference to be held in the Mayan Riviera (November 20-23,) Cedula Professional (professional certificate to be awarded to AMPI members, by the Mexican Department of Education) and electoral reform.
Mario Aviles, President from the State of Mexico, delivered the final report for his term. The inauguration of new President, Sergio Duenas, will take place in Mexico D.F. on January 25th.
