Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Torre Avalanz is a skyscraper building located in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, Mexico. Its height is 548 ft., as the building has 43 floors, four are below ground, and 39 are above ground. It also has 17 apartments, 831 parking spaces, and 14 elevators.
History
The idea for this building first originated in 1981, and the building was intended to be for computer and technology evolution. It was finally completed in 2000, which was 19 years. However, the purpose of the building was different than what was intended, as it became an apartment and office building.
