Zona Rosa is an example of a new trend in retail development where traditional regional malls are replaced by mixed-use projects featuring residential, office and/or hospitality uses in a high density urban environment organized around traditional street grids. Developed by Steiner+Associates, the shopping center is designed to resemble the real Zona Rosa in Mexico City, Mexico. The shopping center, which opened in 2004 with 500,000 s. f. of space, doubled in size with the addition of another 500,000 sq. ft. of space added in early 2009.
- The Zona Rosa (Pink zone) is the name used to refer to a part of Colonia Juarez in Mexico City, just south of Paseo de la Reforma. this is called the pink zone because of the pink tiles on the street today. The area is between Paseo de la Reforma, Avenida Insurgentes, Avenida Chapultepec, and Avenidad Florencia. During the administration of President Porfirio Diaz, the neighborhood became an important suburb of Mexico City. The mansions (called "casas porfirianas") were built in Beaux-Arts architecture. During the time between 1891 and 1902 a trolley provided transportation from this area to Chapultepec. In the 1950s the suburb became a business, commercial, social and tourist center and most of the old houses were torn down. In the 1960s, art galleries were created with the support of artist and intellectuals such as José Luis Cuevas and Guadalupe Amor and the area received many tourists during the 1968 Summer Olympics. The cosmopolitan feature of the area attracted local and international visitors which encouraged the creation of hotels, jewelries, nightclubs, handicraft markets as well as the city's best restaurants and antique stores. After the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, the area dramatically changed and today is better known for containing a large portion of the city's gay clubs, bars and restaurants.[1]
