Its completion was initially planned for 2015, however, financial and permits issues stopped construction in 2014. In 2015 Fibra Uno took over the project aiming to restart construction in early 2016.
Torre Mítikah is currently the tallest building in the city (at 62 stories and 267 metres (876 ft)).[4]
In 2016, the Mítikah skyscraper project was expanded into a complex to integrate with the neighboring Centro Bancomer (currently vacant) and Centro Coyoacán mall.
Shopping center edit
As of mid-2022, the expectation is for the mall part of the complex to contain 258 commercial spaces totalling 120,000 square metres (1,300,000 sq ft) over five levels. Major anchors and brands present are to include: Cinépolis multicinemas; Palacio de Hierro and Liverpool department stores; H&M, Victoria Secret, Abercrombie, Hollister, Berger, Mont Blanc, Hugo Boss, All Saints. Restaurants are to include branches of Mexico City chains Puerto Madero steakhouse, Negroni, Fisher's seafood, Mochomos, Hotaru, Cheesecake Factory, Shake Shack, El Califa tacos, and Sushi Roll.[4]
The upscale Palacio de Hierro at the adjacent Centro Coyoacán mall opened a new store at Mítikah and the Centro Coyoacán mall will be demolished in order to build a new phase of Mítikah.[5]
