Seminario 12, Downtown Mexico City

In the heart of Mexico City stands the majestic Seminario 12, an architectural gem that not only bears witness to Mexico's birth and evolution but also offers the unique opportunity to inhabit a space imbued with history, tradition, and charm or to start a successful, multifaceted business. Located in the emblematic Plaza de la Constitución, this historic mansion is situated upon the legacy of the Templo de Tezcatlipoca. Steps away from the imposing Templo Mayor, it is flanked by the grand Catedral Metropolitana and the National Palace. Since the 17th century, its strategic location has made it a focal point of life in New Spain, witnessing the most sumptuous constructions of the era. Built in the early 17th century for residential purposes, Seminario 12 has served as a residence, seminary, school, neighborhood, and commercial center over the centuries. Its architecture, representative of the New Spanish style, has been meticulously restored, preserving 95% of its original essence. Recently renovated in 2019, the property has been updated with the most exquisite materials and design, respecting the guidelines of the INAH and blending history with modern comforts. Upon entering through its imposing copper doors from the cobblestone street, one experiences a unique sensation of traveling back in time to the viceregal era, away from the hustle and bustle of the zócalo. Currently, Seminario 12 offers a variety of land uses that invite exploration of new possibilities, whether as a family residence, foundation headquarters, lodging for travelers, or a space for renowned national and international chefs, to name a few. Among its standout features, Seminario 12 boasts two true gems: an incomparable view from its Roof Garden, where one can behold the grandeur of the Cathedral and the national flag waving in the zócalo, and a window on the first floor framing the same Cathedral, inviting reflection on the history and energy of this unique place. Immersing oneself in Seminario 12 is a privilege that can be yours, an opportunity to connect with Mexico's glorious past in a space that blends historical elegance with contemporary comforts, as well as a range of commercial opportunities to develop.
