OUR STORY
Inspired by Rue de Rivoli in Paris
Construction of The Ipiña begins in 1906
The Ipiña during the Mexican Revolution
Reliving the dream of Encarnación Ipiña
The beginning:
Mr. José Encarnación Ipiña had a very active participation in the business and political life of the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
One of his most recognized projects would be the emblematic Ipiña. His initial idea was to create something very similar to Rue de Rivoli street located in Paris, France, where he had lived for three years during his studies at the well-known Sorbonne University.
The Ipiña consists of two quarry facades and the rear that would eventually house the Ford Motor Co. workshops.
Today, with this project, the interior of The Ipiña is brought to life once more.
Restoration
Over the years The Ipiña has been used for various purposes, being a great location for different businesses and offices.
