- Nuevo Polanco es un zona perteneciente a la Ciudad de México, que corresponde a las colonias Granada y Ampliación Granada que ha experimentado un elevado desarrollo inmobiliario y urbano impulsado por la transformación de grandes lotes industriales al norte de la exclusiva zona de Polanco detonado por la creación de centros comerciales como Antara Fashion Hall, Parques Polanco y Plaza Carso. La gente llama nuevo Polanco a la colonia Granada, quizá porque pretende que el desarrollo inmobiliario que se inició allí hace algunos años goce del prestigio que tiene la colonia contigua. El acelerado ritmo de la construcción en las manzanas que se localizan a lo largo del bulevar Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra se debe a la aprobación, por parte de la Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano y Vivienda del Gobierno de la Ciudad de México en 2014, del Sistema de Actuación por Cooperación. Antes de la gentrificación con edificios de arquitectura vanguardista, la zona tenía un marcado carácter industrial con numerosas fábricas, así como residencial de clase popular en sus colonias Ampliación Granada y Anáhuac. Entre los principales desarrolladores del proyecto, que ha obtenido ciertas críticas por su planteamiento de construcción masivo que puede incrementar los problemas de congestión de tráfico de la ciudad, se encuentra el magnate Carlos Slim.

- Nuevo Polanco (English, "New Polanco") is an area of Mexico City formerly consisting of warehouses and factories, bordering the upscale Polanco on the north across Avenida Ejército Nacional. Officially it consists of two colonias, Granada and Ampliación Granada. This area is undergoing an accelerated process of re-conversion and development. With a major transformation taking place, it is one of the fastest and most important real estate development areas in the country. Taking advantage of their now prime location, big pieces of land originally occupied mainly by industries are being used to build large housing, office, commercial and cultural developments with shops, restaurants, cinemas, museums, a 1,500-seat theater, a luxury hotel, etc. Many of them integrate in their name the word 'Polanco' thus seeking to capitalize on its reputation. In October 2013, the Secretariat of Urban Development and Housing (SEDUVI) put a stop to further development until a master plan for dealing with the infrastructure problems was approved. At that time the population of Nuevo Polanco was 76,000, twice as high as originally foreseen, with 23,469 housing units. Nuevo Polanco had gained attention in the international press as an example of how development can go wrong if there is no proper planning for infrastructure. The area has now largely been converted into new shopping and mixed-use developments. These include:
* Acuario Inbursa, Mexico's largest aquarium, opened in June 2014
* Antara Polanco a fashionable shopping and restaurants center, built on the land previously occupied by a General Motors de Mexico car assembly plant
* Plaza Carso, a large cultural, commercial, office and living complex owned by Carlos Slim, built on the land formerly occupied by General Popo-General Tire battery and tire plant. The total cost of the complex is quoted between USD 800 million and 1.4 billion. The complex claims to be the largest mixed-use development in Latin America and includes the following components:
* Museo Soumaya, owned by the Carlos Slim Foundation. The museum contains the Slim's extensive art, religious relic, historical document, and coin collection. The museum holds works by many of the best known European artists from the 15th to the 20th century including a large collection of casts of sculptures by Auguste Rodin. The building is a shiny silver cloud-like structure reminiscent of a Rodin sculpture.
* Museo Júmex, opening November 2013, to house part of the Colección Jumex, the contemporary art collection of the Jumex juice company.
* Plaza Carso shopping center, featuring an 82,500 square feet (7,660 m2) Saks Fifth Avenue store, the second to have opened in Mexico. Together with the atrium this section measures 48,090 square metres (517,600 sq ft).
* Teatro Cervantes theater, seating 1500
* Residential towers: Torre Dalí, Torre Monet and Torre Rodin
* Office towers, two of 23 floors each, and one of 20 floors. The three buildings are joined on the lower 3 levels by an atrium and the shopping center. The towers are: Torre Telcel - the headquarters of América Móvil are here; Torre Falcon, and Torre Zurich.
* Miyana, one of the largest mixed-use developments in the city, consisting of apartment buildings, a VIP Cinepolis, several stores and tens of restaurants and eating places.
* Grand Polanco, developed on the land previously occupied by a Chrysler franchise
* Parques Polanco, first occupied by Fábricas Automex, a Chrysler car assembly plant
* Portika Polanco
* Ventanas Polanco
* Terret Polanco (office complex, under construction), located in land previously used by a factory producing yeast
* Polarea, located on the grounds until recently occupied the plant of Vitro, a glass factory.
* Alto Polanco (apartments, under construction), on the grounds previously housing the H. Steele y Compañía office furniture factory (formerly the Cia. Hulera Euzkadi tire plant) The new headquarters of the United States Embassy in Mexico will be located in New Polanco, a large complex to be built on land previously used for a Colgate-Palmolive plant.
