The initial design and construction was undertaken by Italian architect Adamo Boari in 1904, but complications arising from the soft subsoil and the political problem both before and during the Mexican Revolution, hindered then stopped construction completely by 1913.
Prvotni dizajn i konstrukcija, djelo su talijanskoga arhitekta Adama Boarija 1904., ali komplikacije zbog mekog terena i politički problemi prije i tijekom Meksičke revolucije, spriječili su završetak gradnje do 1913.
