Sustainability

ECO-EFFICIENCY TO LIVE WELL TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE

The WTorre group cares about the place where we will live in decades to come. That's why the topic of sustainability is so present in its day-to-day activities, permeating all its business and actions. It is the underlying premise of all its developments, from design through to usability.

Over the years, WTorre has specialized in launching smart buildings that are examples of green construction, and that transform the regions where they are located.

Sustainability certifications

Many of these ventures have received the stamp of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Core & Shell (LEED (C&S), granted by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).

Other buildings are in the process of certification, and are blazing the same trail, such as Allianz Parque, one of the biggest events and entertainment centers in Latin America, and the WTorre Plaza complex, which houses the Shoppink JK Iguatemi, in the south of the city of São Paulo.

More sustainable surroundings

The company's activities are not restricted to buildings. Its commitment to the future of the surrounding areas leads WTorre to take care to improve the quality of life of the people who live and work in the district.

For example, in São Paulo, the company has restored part of the Manequinho Lopes Greenhouse and the Praça Burle Marxe public square, in the Parque do Ibirapuera park, as well as improving and maintaining the Parque do Povo, in the Olympic Village.

In Rio de Janeiro, while building the Centro Empresarial Senado, it was also responsible for one of the largest historical restoration works in the country.

In all, it brought twenty-five buildings back to their former glory, including the Igreja Santo Antônio dos Pobres, a 19th century church. It has also repaired sidewalks and roads, and built a flood control system to mitigate the impacts of flooding.

And in Rio de Janeiro, WTorre carried out works to protect the Baixada Fluminense mangrove swamps. The area was completely restored, and the company continues to oversee its conservation it until today.

Centro Empresarial Senado

One of the largest corporate buildings in Brazil, with 185 thousand m² of built area, located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro.

Designed to Triple A standard, it gained LEED certification in the Silver category. The project also includes restoration of public areas and historical buildings in the area, such as the Palácio da Polícia, Garagem Poula, Solar do Marques de Lavradio, and Igreja Santo Antônio dos Pobres church.

WTorre Morumbi

One of the largest corporate towers of São Paulo will have more than 170 thousand m² of built area and offices with 90,000 m² of leasable area.

Relying on the highest eco-efficiency standards of a Triple A building, the WTorre Morumbi gained LEED Gold Core&Shell pre-certification.

WTorre Nações Unidas

A development that stands out for its commitment to the environment. During the construction, emphasis was given to water and energy-saving, use of recycled materials, and correct waste disposal.

The project earned LEED certification in the Silver category.

WTorre Plaza

WTorre Plaza consists of three business towers, a corporate building, shopping center, theater and restaurants. One of the towers, which has an area of 90,000 m², has earned LEED certification in the Gold category, and the other towers are certified in the Silver category.

The architectural design of the development included restoration of the Parque do Povo, an area of 112 thousand m² which has become a reference in green areas and enhanced the quality of life to the region after it was restored.

Aiming to improve urban, several works were also carried out to improve the roads in the region, including a viaduct and cycle overpass.
