It is commonly known as “Pedregal”, this neighborhood has been synonymous with the concept of exclusivity in the southern part of Mexico City since it was first developed in the 1950’s.

The name of this area traces its origins back to the eruption of the Xitle volcano more than two thousand years ago, when its magma swept through several kilometers and covered various parts of the city. With time, the weight of the magma transformed into volcanic stone which today forms part of Pedregal’s distinguishing landscape.

Since it was first developed, Pedregal has been a high-end residential area with a strong influence by the leading architects of that time such as Luis Barragán, Max Cetto and Mathias Goeritz.

It is a residential area with a very peculiar ambience where its long avenues and boulevards blend in with an organic scenery defined by stone, flowers, green areas which undoubtedly provides a unique experience to its many residents.

We must not forget to point out its easy and swift access to other parts of the city due to its proximity to important roads such as the Anillo Periferico highway and the Supervía Poniente tollway.

Pedregal is a neighborhood where you breathe serenity, which makes it attractive for families and older adults. It is fairly common to run into neighbors at different commercial areas nearby, either at the traditional local shops or at larger shopping malls such as Perisur and Artz Pedregal.

It is an all-encompassing area in terms of services offered, which include top-tier schools, two of the most important shopping centers of the city, high-quality local businesses and good restaurants.

The residential market is centered on large homes built on extensive plots with a style now mostly dominated by modern architecture, a transformation from what it used to be when the area was first developed.
