The history of tall buildings in the city of Guadalajara began in the 1960s, when the 55-meter-high Minerva Tower was built.
During the 1970s, other buildings continued to be built, most of them under 80 meters high, such as the Federal Palace, the Centro Médico de Occidente, among others.
In the 1990s, a small boom in the construction of new buildings began to take place, of which two stand out as having become a reference point in the urban panorama of the city: the Hotel Hilton Guadalajara (on Avenida Las Rosas) and the Torre Chapultepec, built in 1994 and 1995 respectively.
In the Country Club-Providencia area, new buildings were built, most notably Américas 1501 in Punto Sao Paulo.
In the 2010s, new buildings continued to be built that were taller than the previous ones, with the Hotel Riu Guadalajara Plaza, Hyatt Regency Andares and Corporativo Bansi being the tallest in the city by the end of the decade.
