Arizá Torre 2

Arizá is a three-tower housing project in Itagüí, Colombia, located in the south of Aburrá Valley. Featuring bicycle paths and views of the surrounding green areas, residents will be able to live among nature while still having easy access to shopping centers, universities, supermarkets and pharmacies.

Arizá’s Torre 2 was designed and built to conserve natural resources using LED lighting, external shading devices, reflective paint, dual-flush water closets, low-flow plumbing fixtures and more. Residents of the tower’s 22 units benefit from the building’s energy and water savings with lower utility costs.

The developer of the project, Conaltura, is mindful of the environmental impacts of its projects. Arizá Torre 2 is an example of its commitment to develop homes that live in harmony with nature. Conaltura has also EDGE-certified its hotel project, Hotel Lagoon Llanogrande.

Arizá Torre 2 has received final EDGE certification from CAMACOL.
