Panelo

Panelo

Panelo is a housing project located in the Mirriñao district of Palmira, Colombia. It consists of a total of 122 apartments with a modern architectural concept with regard to spaces, lighting, and ventilation. The project will also feature a club house, swimming pool, gym, a playground and a picnic space. The average floor space per apartment in Panelo is 97 square meters.

The project was developed by Jaramillo Mora Constructora, a local real estate development company with a focus on sustainable construction to mitigate climate change.

By incorporating modern construction technologies such as reflective paints for external walls, external shading devices, roof insulation, the use of energy-saving appliances such as LED lightbulbs and water-efficient plumbing features, the project was able to significantly reduce its energy and water consumption, resulting in a more sustainable construction project and a reduced carbon footprint.

Panelo has received a Preliminary EDGE Certificate from the Colombian Chamber of Construction (CAMACOL).
