context_page_description: Zona Río is an official zone, and the main modern business district, of the city of Tijuana, Mexico.
  Zona Río is located at a strategic point, in the north of the city, about 1 mile from the U.S.-Mexico border and 9 miles from Downtown San Diego. The Río Zone is within the Delegación Centro, or Central borough, of Tijuana. The old downtown of Tijuana, Zona Centro, borders Zona Río on the west.
  The Zona Río is home to most of the regional headquarters for commercial and financial businesses and health services. The city's largest mall, Plaza Río Tijuana, the central market, and the majority of Tijuana's larger hotels and upscale restaurants are also located here, along Zona Río's three main avenues, Paseo de los Héroes, Avenida Padre Kino and Boulevard General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada. The Zona Río office space submarket had, in 2016, 111,059 square metres of class A and B office space, with another 25,043 square metres in the contiguous Agua Caliente submarket, for a total of 136,102 square metres. As such, the area can be considered an edge city.
context_section_description: Zona Río literally translates into English as River Zone. This name is owed to the nearly dried Tijuana River, which divides Zona Río. The river is crossed by many bridges to allow traffic between the west side of Zona Río, located at the west-center of the city, and the east of Zona Rio, located in the east-center of Tijuana.
