ENABLING SUSTAINABLE HOUSING IN THE HEART OF CÓRDOBA
In the heart of Córdoba, Argentina a major project is being built with Âé¶¹´«Ã½â€™s ECOPact concrete that meets the need for sustainable urban housing.
With growing populations and urbanization across the world, many countries face a housing shortfall and Argentina is no exception – lacking an estimated 1.5 million homes. This is where Âé¶¹´«Ã½ comes in – offering our customers a broad range of sustainable building solutions at scale to bridge the global housing gap.
To build Cardinales Cofico in the city’s historic Cofico neighborhood, Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Argentina partnered with the developer GNI Desarrollos – contributing technology, experience, and sustainable solutions that align with the developer's vision for the project: more efficient, more innovative, and with a reduced environmental impact.
Modernizing while respecting history
For , population growth in Córdoba and the need for modern housing presented a challenge: how to increase residential density and workspaces while respecting the city’s history? The answer had to be a comprehensive project, capable of balancing modernity and tradition, with sustainability and innovation top of mind for the future residents.
Cardinales Cofico, a new mixed-use real estate landmark in Argentina’s second largest city, not only responds to the city's growing housing demand but has also become a model of how innovation in materials and construction processes can transform urban spaces.
With Cardinales Cofico we are committed to urban innovation: a development that integrates residences, amenities that enhance daily life, offices and commercial spaces in a neighborhood that is consolidating itself as one of the most dynamic and attractive in the city.
ECOPact meets project’s technical and sustainability requirements
Cardinales Cofico was designed to be a complete urban hub, where residences, workspaces, shops, and recreational areas coexist. To bring this vision to life, Âé¶¹´«Ã½ partnered with GNI, providing high-performance products, optimizing timelines, and ensuring the project's quality and efficiency.
The incorporation of 17,723 m3 of ECOPact, Âé¶¹´«Ã½'s low-carbon concrete formulated according to the project's technical requirements, reduced CO2 emissions by more than 30% compared to conventional concrete, representing over 2,000 tons of CO2 avoided during the construction process.
With over 500 apartments, 514 parking spaces, 6,000 m2 of retail and office space, and a range of premium amenities, Cardinales Cofico brings dynamism, services, and new economic opportunities to the community.
Cardinales Cofico is an example of how construction can move towards a more sustainable model. At Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Argentina, we support this development with innovative solutions that deliver quality and efficiency, reaffirming our commitment to building progress for people and the planet.
