Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Entrebosques is the residential phase of a mixed-use development located at Av. Aviación 4500, in the Valle Real area of Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, one of the highest-value areas in the Guadalajara metropolitan zone. Developed by CADU Residencial and designed by DIVECE Arquitectos, the masterplan combines a corporate tower, offices, commercial levels, and a hotel with several residential towers totaling more than 14,690.59 m² built, offering studios and apartments from 46 to 118 m² arranged around an interior forest.

Entrebosques holds EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), which validates minimum energy, water, and materials savings compared to an equivalent conventional building.

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of Entrebosques lies in integrating EDGE certification into a large-scale mixed-use development, where residential towers coexist with offices, retail, and hospitality around an interior forest as the central design axis.

The project stands out for:

• Organizing its residential towers around an interior forest that supports thermal comfort and air quality.
• Offering studios and 1- to 3-bedroom apartments in flexible layouts, from 46 to 118 m².
• Incorporating entertainment and relaxation amenities connected by broad avenues within the development itself.
• Applying energy and water efficiency strategies certified under the EDGE standard within a large-scale development.

Project impact

The design of Entrebosques' residential towers was oriented to meet the minimum thresholds required by EDGE in the energy, water, and materials categories, consolidating Valle Real as one of the areas with the greatest adoption of certified housing in Zapopan.
