Real Madeira
Real Madeira brings 159 private residences to the housing market in Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo. Residents of the controlled-access community enjoy numerous amenities, including a fitness center, swimming pool, bicycle path, playground and sports field.
Energy-saving indoor lighting and roof insulation reduce the homes’ energy use, while dual-flush water closets and low-flow plumbing fixtures reduce the homes’ water use. The energy and water savings allow homeowners to save on utilities and live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles.
The developer of the project, Inmobiliaria Vinte, is dedicated to improving their tenants’ quality of life by building more efficient housing with positive economic and environmental impacts. An EDGE Champion, Inmobiliaria Vinte has committed to certifying its immediate future portfolio with EDGE. Vinte’s other properties, Real Granada, Real Vizcaya, and Real Segovia, have also received final EDGE certification.
Real Madeira has received final EDGE certification from GBCI.
