Building
The first U.S. Embassy to open in Mexico City was in January 1899 after the elevation of the American Legation.[1]
The former chancery building began in 1960 and was completed in 1964 at a cost of US$5 million.[2] At the time, it was the second largest United States embassy building in the world.[2]
In 2011, the United States Department of State announced plans to build a new United States embassy in the Nuevo Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City with an initial price of US$763 million.[3] The complex was designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects and Davis Brody Bond.[4] Construction of the new embassy complex began on February 13, 2018 and was expected to be completed in 2022.[5] After construction delays,[6] the new Chancery was completed in November 2025 at a cost of approximately US$943 million.[7] It is currently the largest U.S. embassy in the world at 530,000 square feet of space.[8]
