Edificio Biel

Located in the Altamira neighborhood of Barranquilla, Edificio Biel is a 95-unit apartment building.  The building’s one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments feature large common spaces, making them ideal for families.

The apartments utilize resource-efficient technologies, allowing residents to save on utilities and live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles. External shading devices and LED lighting reduce the building’s energy use, while dual flush water closets and low-flow faucets lower the building’s water use.

Edificio Biel is an example of Solider Constructora’s commitment to generating positive change in the construction industry that aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include sustainable cities and communities, affordable and clean energy, and climate action.  Solider Constructora has also certified Edificio Bruxxel.

Edificio Biel has received final EDGE certification from CAMACOL.
