Esquina de la Información

The Esquina de la Información refers to the intersection of Paseo de la Reforma and Avenida Bucareli, in Colonia Juárez, Mexico City. The name originated after the former Excélsior newspaper headquarters building and, by extension, the El Universal newspaper headquarters, located across the street. Both are among the largest newspaper companies in Mexico.

The intersection converges in an area with multiple landmarks, including the Antimonumento +43 memorial, the El Caballito sculpture, the Fuente de la República fountain roundabout, the National Lottery Building (called Edificio El Moro), the Puerta 1808 sculpture, the Tax Administration Service Headquarters (the Torre del Caballito), and the Rescatemos a David y Miguel memorial. The El Caballito BRT station services the area.

History
The intersection originally had the Glorieta del Caballito roundabout, which indicated the northern end of Paseo de la Reforma. It featured an equestrian statue of Charles IV of Spain, colloquially known as El caballito. Avenida Bucareli was built a few years later. In 1920, El Universal opened the building that became its headquarters, at Bucareli 12. Two years later, Excélsior opened its headquarters on the opposite side of the street, a building designed by engineer Efrén Rebolledo, at Bucareli 17.

During the 1980s, Excélsior constructed an adjacent building on the corner of Paseo de la Reforma, named Esquina de la Información, named after the location of the distributorship for various important newspapers (Excélsior and El Universal, as well as Novedades de México, La Jornada, El Nacional, La Prensa, and El Heraldo) and magazines (Cinelandia, Alarma and Lágrimas y Risas), and where it was common to hear newsboys announcing newspaper highlights before their distribution. A gas station was located on the site. On 1 October 2016, Excélsior ceased its operations in the building and moved its headquarters near Ciudad Universitaria. The property was sold to Jones Lang LaSalle and by that year there were plans to create a mixed-use development called Reforma 10. There have been no changes as of 2019.
