Originally scheduled to open its doors in early 2019, Apple's first Latin American flagship store is back on track for unveiling in an upscale Mexico City mall later this year after undergoing a major redesign to consolidate two stories of floorspace into one.

Similar to Xinyi A13, and most current standalone Apple stores, the Mexico City venue will boast a glass facade that doubles as an entryway thanks to large glass doors. Curved glass corner pieces round out an almost seamless glass-walled design.

The outlet is located between Museo Soumaya and Museo Jumex, two of Mexico's most renowned museums. Both Museo Soumaya and Museo Jumex, as well as the Acuario Inbursa aquarium, are visible from the store's grounds, an important concession for new retail chief Deirdre O'Brien, who intends for the outlet to become a central part of the community, the source said.

Apple committed to plans to build a Latin American flagship in 2017, just six months after opening its first retail store in the region at Mexico's Centro Santa Fe mall. The Antara location was selected over a nearby plot on Avenida Presidente Masaryk due to the first store's strong enterprise sales, which currently account for more than 40% of all revenue.
