Paseo del Sol Becomes the First Building in Encarnación to Receive EDGE Certification

The EDGE certification obtained by Paseo del Sol represents a historic advance for Encarnación and consolidates the evolution of the Paraguayan real estate market towards international standards of efficiency and sustainability.

Encarnación has reached a new milestone in its urban development with Paseo del Sol , which has just become the first building in the city to receive the international EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification. The project, currently under construction, was officially recognized for meeting the energy efficiency, water conservation, and environmental impact reduction standards established by this global distinction. With a total area of 5,580 square meters and a prime location overlooking the Paraná River, Paseo del Sol solidifies its position as a benchmark for sustainability and marks a decisive step in the evolution of contemporary architecture in Encarnación toward more efficient and responsible construction models.

Currently more than 40% complete, Paseo del Sol is scheduled for delivery in March 2027. Market interest has been remarkable: more than 80% of the units have already been sold, with prices starting from USD 79,500, consolidating the project as one of the most attractive residential options in the south of the country.

The EDGE certification awarded to Paseo del Sol is the result of comprehensive planning that combines intelligent design, technological innovation, and a long-term vision. The project achieved a 23% energy savings, a 42% water savings, and a 26% reduction in embodied energy of materials—figures that reflect a commitment to efficiency and urban sustainability. The EDGE methodology, developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, evaluates the environmental performance of buildings and recognizes those that optimize resources from design to operation.

Beyond the technical achievement, obtaining this certification represents a competitive advantage for both investors and future residents. In market terms, a certified building offers higher resale value, lower operating costs, and a reduced risk of technical obsolescence. For those who live in the development, the advantages translate into superior daily comfort: natural ventilation, efficient lighting, and low-consumption systems reduce electricity and water expenses while contributing to a higher quality of life in healthy environments. Living in a certified building also means being part of a lifestyle where personal well-being is integrated with respect for the environment.

Paseo del Sol 's achievement of EDGE certification marks a turning point in how real estate development is conceived in Encarnación. This recognition not only positions Paseo del Sol as a pioneer in sustainability but also solidifies the city's status as a regional leader in innovation and environmental responsibility. In a context of sustained growth, where tourism, infrastructure, and private investment drive urban expansion, the incorporation of international standards reinforces a modern and resilient vision for Encarnación's development. This advancement lays the groundwork for a progressive transformation of the market, inspiring other developers, institutions, and citizens to adopt more conscious criteria in design and construction.

Paseo del Sol is being developed by CRESIA SA, in partnership with Acostruir SA, and has the technical and construction support of Codas Vuyk, a company with over 47 years of experience in the sector. Pioneers in promoting quality and sustainability in Encarnación, this team has completed three projects, has one under construction, and has new projects underway, reaffirming its commitment to social progress, construction efficiency, and the city's urban development.

The EDGE certification obtained by Paseo del Sol not only raises the standard of local construction, but also confirms Encarnación's potential to lead the transition towards more sustainable, efficient architecture aligned with global trends for a responsible urban future.
