Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Pilares de la Puerta is a residential development built by Javer in Salinas Victoria, Nuevo León, Mexico, with over 54,711.89 m2 built. Located in one of the fastest-growing areas of the Monterrey metropolitan area, the development connects to nearby industrial parks, shopping centers, and schools, making it an attractive option both to live in and to invest in.

The development features homes with contemporary architecture and functional design, complemented by common areas such as equipped parks, multi-use courts, playgrounds, and palapas for family gatherings.

Pilares de la Puerta holds EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), which validates minimum savings of 20% in energy, water, and materials compared to an equivalent conventional home.

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of Pilares de la Puerta lies in bringing certified sustainability to affordable and mid-income housing, a segment where access to international efficiency standards is still limited in Mexico.

The project stands out for:

• Applying energy- and water-efficiency criteria at scale, across hundreds of homes in the development.
• Including green areas and equipped recreational spaces for the community.
• Offering strategic connectivity to industrial parks, retail, and schools.
• Reducing utility costs for the families living in the development.

Project impact

By certifying a development of over 54,000 m2 under EDGE, Javer demonstrates that affordable housing and sustainable construction can converge at scale, expanding access to efficient homes in northern Mexico.
