Las Arenas, a 25-story residential tower scheduled to break ground in the first quarter of 2009, introduces an new eco-friendly architectural design to Juan Dolio Beach in the Dominican Republic. The impressive building will be designed by Dominican architect, Jorge Mesa, and world-famous Spanish landscaper, Artur Bossy, both highly-respected professionals and leaders in their fields.
“The building’s ‘green’ design was inspired by the city’s natural beauty and unique landscape and views,” says Mesa. “Since its conception, Artur and I have worked hand in hand to deliver a truly luxurious standard of living for both residents and visitors, while maintaining the integrity of Juan Dolio Beach,” says Mesa.
The eco-friendly components featured in this development include roof-top solar panels, which will provide energy for all of the common areas and landscaping designed from the sites natural vegetation.
The tower, which consists of 80% glass, is designed to allow sunlight in but acts like a filter that only allows 20% of the sun’s heat to enter inside. This will minimize the use of energy from the air conditioners that cool the building. Las Arenas will also feature a treatment plant for water destined for the maintenance of the building and watering the gardens.
In addition to the “green” components that makeup Las Arenas is its extensive lush garden, designed by landscape artist, Artur Bossy, who can also be accredited for marvels, such as the Botanical Gardens in Barcelona.
Residences at Las Arenas include one bedroom lofts, two, three and four bedroom condominiums, and penthouses. Each unit features eco-friendly technology, sound proof walls, and controlled entry with an access card. Two large parking levels enable residents to have the option of three parking spaces per unit. Prices range from $210,000 - $2 million USD.
The project will also feature an infinity edge pool, Jacuzzi with hydromassage that seats up to 15 people, beach club and recreational section for children with daily supervision, and a fully-equipped gym with a stunning beach view. Additional amenities include a business center and meeting rooms, Wi-Fi throughout the building, and a state-of-the-art commercial and retail area that will carry designer fashion brands, numerous restaurants from casual cafes to fine dining, and a boutique spa.
