Pasaje Jacaranda, officially Plaza Comercial Plaza Jacaranda, designed by architects Ramón Torres Martínez and Héctor Velázquez Moreno, was an open-air shopping center opened in 1959 in the Zona Rosa, Mexico City, at the time considered the hippest and most cosmopolitan district of the city.
Artists such as Carlos Monsivais, José Luis Cuevas and Alejandro Jodorowsky frequented the plaza.
Its shops and art galleries had full-width, full-height glass windows facing an interior courtyard.
As the neighborhood deteriorated in the 1980s and particularly as a result of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, different buildings of the complex were torn down.
