Edificio Verona

Edificio Verona

Edificio Verona is located in the Novalito neighborhood of the Colombian city of Valledupar. The apartment building was designed by architectural firm Contexto Urbano and developed by Integra Gerencia y Construcción. There are 40 residences between the second and eleventh floors, with a walkable terrace, areas for barbecuing and sunbathing, and a children’s play area. Edificio Verona lies in close proximity to schools, supermarkets and shopping centers.

Each of the apartments at Edificio Verona faces the exterior with ample natural lighting. Reflective paint and external shading contribute to energy efficiency, with LED lighting featured inside the units and in the common areas (which include motion sensors). Water consumption is curtailed through environmentally-sensitive faucets, showers and water closets.

Integra Gerencia y Construcción recognizes that trends are changing and each day people are becoming more aware of their environmental footprint. The company responds to changing mindsets and lifestyles by designing and building resource-efficient projects, recognizing that each small change contributes positively to the planet.

Edificio Verona has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from CAMACOL.
