Oficinas del Parque Torre 2 (English: Offices in the Park Tower 2), along with the Tower 1 they are informally known as Torres Moradas (Purple Towers) is one of Monterrey's tallest skyscrapers. Its construction began in 1996 and finished two years later, in 1998. The tower, along with its slightly shorter twin (Tower 1), is part of a complex used mainly for offices, as the name states.

The Complex

[edit]

Tower 1 and Tower 2 were built as part of a complex a few miles west of downtown Monterrey, in the borderline of the Santa Catarina River, an area of Monterrey known as Santa María. The towers were built in around three years and became instant icons because of their unique gigantic purple walls.
