Arboleda Residencial

The master plan was designed by renowned architect Cesar Pelli. Since its inception, the main goal of Arboleda has been to create high-performing, healthy spaces that coexist seamlessly and gracefully with its surrounding nature. Since before conceptual design began, the owner, design team and sustainability consultant strived to create a sustainable green building for its residents. Some of the main features that reflect this include relocating and preserving the majority of the existing trees and vegetated areas from the previous development, conferring with international subject matter experts and using an integrative process approach during design and construction. The existing trees were labeled, properly removed and stowed in a temporary nursery on-site to later be replanted within the site’s final landscaping design. Another important feature of this project is its pedestrian-friendly open spaces and the site’s connectivity overall, including large outdoor spaces surrounded by nature which are now used for community oriented events. Arboleda Residencial became the first residential building in the state of Nuevo Leon, México to reach LEED-2009 NC Silver certification. With this achievement, the Arboleda development holds more than 1.75 million square feet of LEED certified space.
