Although officially cancelled in 2007, another project similar to this, dubbed the Torre Bicentario II, is in the works. It is reported to be completed by 2012, a year after the 200 year anniversary of Mexico's independence. The architect, Hector Tagle Nader, is working with the developer, Group Adelac, both thought to be of Mexican origin. The completed structure will have 6 underground levels, a hotel, restaurant, and offices. It will be 70 stories high and will be the forth highest building in America and the tallest building in Mexico City and Latin America (hovering at 225.6 m). The estimated cost of this building would be around US$800 million, partly due to the massive amount of security measures included. It will be equipped with the latest seismic shock absorbing equipment due to the high amount of seismic activity in that area.
