Provenza
Provenza is a 224-unit apartment complex in Dosquebradas, Risaralda. Residents of the building’s one, two and three-bedroom apartments will enjoy numerous amenities, including a playground, pool and sports field.
The 14-story apartment building was designed to reduce its environmental impact through the conservation of natural resources. Energy-saving lighting, external shading devices and insulation of the roof will contribute to the building’s energy savings, while dual-flush water closets, low-flow plumbing fixtures and a rain harvesting system on the roof will contribute to the building’s water savings.
Proyectos Urbanos 3L SAS, the developer of the project, aims to promote, develop and build environmentally-friendly real estate projects. EDGE allows Proyectos Urbanos to quantify the resource efficiency of its buildings and the projected operational savings for its customers.
Provenza has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from CAMACOL.
