ArtInfo reports that Carlos Slim is building a multi-purpose complex in Mexico City that will house his art collection which includes the second largest grouping of Rodin sculptures:

The museum, which is being designed by Slim’s 38-year-old son-in-law, Fernando Romero, will be part of an enormous complex including headquarters for the magnate’s telecom corporations Grupo Carso and Telcel, a shopping mall, and luxury apartment housing. […]  When completed, the $34 million museum will tower 150 feet in the air with five stories of exhibition space totaling 183,000 square feet, all wrapped in a honeycombed aluminum skin.
