You Collection Alves Guimarães

You Collection Alves Guimarães is an upper-middle class residential building, located in one of the most desired neighborhoods of São Paulo’s west side. Residents will enjoy the community’s amenities designed to improve their health and well-being, including a fitness center, swimming pool, solarium, party room and playground.

The residential building was designed to conserve natural resources through the use of energy-saving lighting, external shading devices, dual-flush water closets, low-flow plumbing fixtures and more. The energy and water savings will help residents to save on utility bills and live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles.

You Collection Alves Guimarães was designed by renowned Brazilian-French architecture studio Tryptique for younger buyers interested in reducing their carbon footprint. The building is being developed by You, Inc, financed by Paladin Realty and constructed by Rocontec Rocha Construção e Tecnologia. Paladin Realty has invested in projects across Latin America, bringing more affordable housing to the market in a socially and environmentally-responsible way. The group has financed EDGE-certified projects throughout the region, including Bosque de Serra in Brazil, Villas del Fresno in Mexico and VERAH Etapa 1 in Peru.

The You Collection Alves Guimarães has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from GBCI.
