Tomas Rueda has been living in Mazatlan, Sinaloa since his birth in 1941. He studied mechanical engineering in Monterrey and later acquired a master’s degree in naval architecture in Holland. He constructed boats for 10 years until he decided to move into the field of residential development. He has designing and building residential projects in Mazatlan for the past 25 years and is one of the most respected businessmen in the city.
VM: How has Mazatlan changed in the last 20 years?
It has changed so much that if you have not been back here, you will not recognize it; the most dramatic changes have occurred in the last ten years. The town has grown and developments have been built near the beach areas.
VM: What are you currently developing?
We just finished a Torre 360 -a 16-story “intelligent” building with 27 condominium units- on the beach of Sabalo Cerritos.
VM: Why did you choose to build an intelligent tower?
Because it is the most advanced construction concept in the market, and there is nothing like it in Mazatlan. One of the many amenities of the tower is that the owner can control all the utilities in the condo, including lights and air conditioning, through the internet. It will hopefully differentiate us from the rest of the projects in the area.
