Alturia
Located in the city of Pereira, Risaralda, Alturia was inspired by the demand in the market for a modern business center. The 11-story tower offers 88 offices ranging from 33m² to 53m². Each unit features comfortable and sophisticated interior design, with a kitchenette, bathroom, storage, and parking.
Alturia was designed by Núcleo Constructora, which is committed to developing and promoting projects that provide value to their clients. The company, which has nearly two dozen years of experience, is a leader in the Colombian real estate sector because of its seriousness, discipline, commitment and passion for its work.
Alturia has received final EDGE certification from CAMACOL.
