Project Background
Miyana was conceived as a mixed-use development designed to bring together multiple aspects of everyday life within a single urban destination. Spanning more than 500,000 square meters of construction, including approximately 800 residential units, office space, and retail areas, the project sought to create a vibrant community where people could live, work, shop, and connect in an integrated environment.
One of the project's greatest challenges was blending residential, corporate, and commercial uses while preserving the independence of each component. To achieve this balance, separate access points were created for each program while maintaining seamless connectivity throughout the development. An additional challenge involved incorporating an existing 10,000-square-meter retail store into the site. The solution was to integrate the store below the main pedestrian and commercial levels, allowing public spaces to take center stage. Landscaped gardens and resident amenities were then developed above the retail area, creating an elevated, club-like environment with recreational and social spaces.
Beyond its scale, Miyana distinguished itself through its commitment to sustainable urban development. The project became the first development in Mexico to earn LEED® Neighborhood Development certification, supported by strategies such as the use of recycled water, locally sourced materials, and energy-efficient building solutions. By combining thoughtful urban planning, contemporary architecture, and sustainability-focused design, Miyana has established itself as a landmark mixed-use development in Mexico City and a model for creating vibrant, walkable communities that foster a stronger connection between people and their surroundings.
