OR concludes a public space for living in Horto Florestal, Salvador

A space for leisure and coexistence among neighbors, this is the potential of Praça Estácio Gonzaga, which was delivered this Thursday (03), in Horto Florestal. The area, built by OR – the real estate arm of Odebrecht Group – located at Rua Estácio Gonzaga, is the result of a Term of Agreement and Commitment (TAC) signed with Municipal Government of Salvador, in addition to the support and partnership of AMO Horto.

The delivery took place through a symbolic ceremony attended by OR’s president, Eduardo Pedreira, and AMO Horto representatives. The square was built in the space next to the Monvert– real estate development that is being built by OR in the neighborhood, and that already has all its 140 units sold.

Made possible by an investment of around R$ 600,000 the square occupies an area of 290m² at Rua Estácio Gonzaga, with an interlocked floor, following the improvements that the municipal government has already executed in neighborhoods such as Barra and Rio Vermelho, using the concept of shared space between pedestrians and vehicles.

The concept is to use a large space allowing for open walks, community events, such as fairs, and exhibitions. The site also has bike racks and landscaping that helps improve the area’s microclimate, and lighting that contributes to the convenience and safety of the users.

Technological solutions are also present, such as a bench with a USB charging device, and a totem for charging electric cars, installed in the plaza through a partnership with BMW.

“OR, fulfilling its commitment to add value in the places where it operates, delivers the work of the Estácio Gonzaga Square, in a partnership with the Municipal Government of Salvador and AMO Horto. The work was executed quickly so that the space would be ready for use in the summer and during the children’s vacations, taking advantage of the pleasant climate that calls residents for a moment of outdoor leisure in the practicality and comfort of their neighborhood”, highlighted OR’s president, Eduardo Pedreira.

Contribution
In addition to the new square, OR has made other contributions to the neighborhood it has helped to build in recent decades. Among the most recent is the “Our Garden, Our Green” campaign through the planting of fruit seedlings inside the condominiums and seedlings of native species in their plazas and flowerbeds that began in August 2019, aiming to preserve the local flora and fauna, and contribute to cleaner air, directly influencing the quality of life of the residents.
