The neighborhood is a residential area but it also houses some office buildings, most importantly the Torre Ejecutiva Pemex.

Sections I and II, then the closest to the center of Mexico City, became the colonia Verónica Anzures.

[3] In the 1950s, Verónica Anzures started to develop as a residential zone, described by anthropologist Luis Barjau as "an urban zone in the Federal District of middle-class pretentious residents, who wanted to emulate the then sumptuous Polanco, but smaller".

[4] Verónica Anzures has, mainly, residential buildings of art deco and colonial revival styles.

The colonia also houses several commercial buildings, Torre Ejecutiva Pemex, headquarters of state-owned Pemex, one of the largest petroleum companies in the world and shopping center Plaza de las Estrellas, being the two most important.
