Expansion Antara, the new development that integrates large green areas, a cultural program run by Arte Abierto Polanco and an expanded offer of international brands, haute cuisine and hospitality, strengthening the combination of art, culture and trade that distinguishes it.
In 2006, SOMA and a group of entrepreneurs transformed an old industrial site into the city’s first outdoor commercial destination. Today, FIBRA SOMA heads its new stage and gives continuity to the philosophy that has guided the project since its beginnings, with respect for the urban context and a commitment to quality, design and service. Antara receives 12.7 million visitors a year and drove the transformation of the area, which today brings together the Soumaya Museum, the Jumex Museum and first-class residential and corporate developments.
Expansion Antara adds 90,000 m2 of gross profitable area and pursues LEED v4 certification BD+C Core & Shell. Its axis is a 43-level tower that will house Rosewood Mexico City, the first hotel of the brand in the city, with 163 rooms and suites, as well as top-level offices for Google Latin America, Capital One, Sony Entertainment, SURA and IOS Offices, among others. With this asset, FIBRA SOMA consolidates its commitment to mixed-use destinations that integrate commerce, hospitality, culture and green areas.
This new development includes a central park that offers visitors a green space for coexistence, rest and connection with the environment. Landscaped paths, stepped terraces and a 2,300 m2 garden link the different areas. More than 100 new brands and concepts are added to the commercial offer. New openings include Brunello Cucinelli, Zimmermann, Zadig & Voltaire, Assouline, Farm Rio, Veja and Alo. The gastronomic offer includes internationally recognized restaurants such as Carbone, Nobu and Milos.
Arte Abierto Polanco is inaugurated with two projects, Mexico City Slides (2026), by Carsten Höller, is a permanent installation of four monumental spiral slides, up to 38 meters high, descending from the commercial areas, the offices and the future hotel towards a common arrival area. Now What (2026), by the Danish collective SUPERFLEX, explores the relationship between built environments and natural forces. Both projects will open to the public in December 2026 with free access.
