Torre 40 Lumiére
History
Architecture
The tower was designed by Lujan Arquitectos and is located in the Gran Jardin district of León. It is the tallest residential building in the Bajío region. The building was created in order to establish a dominant vertical ax in its residential neighborhood and give identity to the edifice. The main goal of the project was to maximize sustainability in the building, with even the shared spaces being powered by solar panels. Developer Grupo Innova stated that the tower was the first step in moving towards vertical housing in the area.
The tower was built at an altitude of 1,920 metres above the sea level. The structure utilizes 3 directions to maximize natural light, with a focus on the south and avoiding the intense sunlight from the west. It aims for sustainable energy efficiency and boasts stunning views of the city, mountains, Metropolitan Park, and El Bosque Country Club golf course.
The building houses apartment units that can go up to 100 and 200 m (2,150 sq ft) of gross usable area each. It also provides 2,500 m (26,900 sq ft) of amenities, social and green areas, a swimming pool, children's and teen play area, a gym, jacuzzi and an executive club. The Tower operates entirely on electricity, fueled by over 1,300 solar panels. Furthermore, it features thermocaustic insulation and the windows are constructed from European PVC, double-glazed, and equipped with a solar protection film.
