Edificio Internacional de Capitalización


Edificio Internacional de Capitalización was a 1938 art deco office building located in downtown Mexico City.
At the time of its construction, it was the tallest building in Mexico, with 18 stories and 75 meters tall. It was surpassed in height in 1943 by Edificio "El Moro".
During the earthquake of September 19, 1985, the building suffered some damage and was partially demolished down to the third floor by 1988.
By 1993, the remaining three floors of the building still housed offices, but the decay surrounding the area following the 1985 earthquakes rendered it useless. In 1994 it was closed and many features dismantled. By 1995 a retail center was opened occupying the remaining structure.
