Building

The first U.S. Embassy to open in Mexico City was in January 1899 after the elevation of the American Legation.
The former chancery building began in 1960 and was completed in 1964 at a cost of US$5 million. At the time, it was the second largest United States embassy building in the world.
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. The estimated price of the new embassy was US$763 million.
On February 13, 2018, construction of the new embassy began. The estimated cost is nearly US$1 billion ; it was expected to be completed in 2022; however, the completion of the new complex had been delayed. The new Chancery recently was completed and moved into its new location in November 2025. It is currently the largest U.S. embassy in the world.
