One of the latest malls to open in Guadalajara can be found at the
southern end of Avenida Chapultepec in the ritzy area often referred to
the Zona Rosa (Pink Zone).
Situated around the base of the four towers of the luxury Horizontes
Chapultepec residential complex, Plaza Las Ramblas is heavy on food
options, with a large selection of restaurants, delis, cafes and bars.
Restaurants include I-Hop, California Lobster, Puerta 39 (seafood),
Boca de Casta (grilled meats), Terraza Italiano, Chiltepinos, Fat Fish
(sushi bar), Gin Club and Chat Lunatique (French). Among the cafes are
Estacion de Lulia (bike rental outside) and Punta de Cielo, while other
food-related establishments include a juice bar (Curacao), crepes
(Crepetite), ice cream (Haagen Dazs, Yomood), chocolates (Las Sapas
Chocolates), Mexican fast food (Burro Bronco, Qasera) and hamburgers
(Las Hamburgesas de Tom).
Other stores catering to mainly middle-class tastes includes GNC
nutrition, Pet Planet, Besame (imported lingerie), Maria Engracia,
Maker’s (stylish shoes), Skincare Kopay, Paper City (stationary
products) and Trevo, Lust (boutiques). There’s also a money exchange
house, dental clinic and a ludoteca – a place to leave small kids to
play while parents do other things. Oddly for a brand new mall, most
of the spaces are filled, although the first floor still has three large
locales still for rent.
The entrances to the four Horizontes Chapultepec towers (named
Montmatre, Tribeca, Soho and Recolecta) are dispersed around the ground
floor of the mall, making these services very convenient for residents.
Many of the 300-plus apartments in the 19-floor towers are still on
the market. They carry quite hefty price tags since all include luxury
extras such as 24-hour security, underground parking, gymnasiums,
multiple use salons, swimming pools, green areas, roof gardens, and
snack and barbecue areas. Three architectural firms were used on the
towers, which each feature unique designs.
Although different prices can be found through local relators, the
average price for a two-bedroom, 98-square-meter apartment seems to be
around 2.5 million pesos. One agent is currently listing a 133-square
meter apartment for 2.9 million pesos, while another has a 210-meter
property with a 60-square-meter terrace on the market for 5.4 million
pesos.
Views from the higher apartments are spectacular and the complex
looks down on the busy NiƱos Heroes traffic circle, and the monument to
the nation’s “Boy Heroes” who died for their country in the
Mexican-American War of the mid-1800s.
