Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

The Jardines de Magnolias IV project is a large scale housing development located in San Bartolo Cuautlalpan, Zumpango, State of Mexico, designed to serve social housing through a combination of types of apartments and houses.

The complex covers a constructed area of approximately 67.438 m², with a total of 1,460 homes, organized in multifamily buildings of up to 8 levels above ground and single-family homes in series. The housing units meet spatial optimization criteria, with an average surface area of 41.6 m², designed for efficient and functional occupancy, maintaining standards of comfort, natural lighting and ventilation.

The project is EDGE certified in the Post-Construction phase, validating that sustainability strategies were effectively implemented during construction

What makes this project innovative?

The main innovation of the Magnolias IV project lies in integrating advanced sustainability criteria into large scale social housing, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve high levels of environmental efficiency with minimal impact on construction costs.

Among the most relevant aspects, the following stand out:

• The replicability of the model, applicable to both apartment buildings and single-family homes.
• Achieving significant savings in energy, water and materials, far exceeding the minimum requirements of EDGE certification.
• An approximate cost increase of only 0.35%, with a return period of less than one year, reinforcing the economic viability of the sustainable approach to massive housing developments
