Unfortunately structures are not the problem. The problem is the terrain where it is built. Not only this building and the whole city of Mexico. For thousands of years the first settlers of what was found as a lake which they filled with earth and rocks. For this reason the soil is too soft and unstable. So some structures are designed so earthquakes can fall and others do not.

And yep the main issue is Mexico City is a drained lake and a fault line location that acts as an echoing point for earthquakes to resonate with buildings within a certain height range imagine an opera house and a singer basically same concept with that city.
Before they build the next one, shouldn't they dig out the foundation and determine if it safe to build a new building on it?
