In our last week of Member Appreciation Month, we feature FG Empreendimentos, a premier real estate developer headquartered in Balneário Camboriú and recognized for delivering some of South America’s most iconic and luxurious high-rise residential towers. Their commitment to innovation, high-quality, and sustainable urban integration redefines vertical living and positions Brazil as a global hub for high-rise development.

Transforming the Balneário Camboriú’s skyline with iconic high-rise residential projects, the company collaborates with top architects and engineers to create state-of-the-art developments, incorporating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and pioneering construction techniques that enhance livability and environmental responsibility. This includes Infinity Coast Tower (234.8 meters), Epic Tower (191.1 meters), an extraordinary structure with a slenderness ratio of 17:1, and One Tower (290 meters), which in December 2022 was officially recognized by CTBUH as the tallest residential building in Latin America.

The Tallest Residential Building in Latin America

On 17 December 2022, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) recognized One Tower, Balneário Camboiú, Brazil, as the “Tallest Building Completed in Brazil in 2022” and “Tallest Residential Building Completed in Latin America in 2022.” This certification was based on its Architectural Height of 290 meters (951 feet) and a completion date of December 2022, according to CTBUH Height Criteria.

ONE TOWER is located on avenida Atlântica on the north coast of Santa Catarina. The 70-story residential building covers a total area of 52,785.06 square meters. On each floor there are two apartments with the exception of four floors in the building that are dedicated to leisure areas—two of which are designated on the floors 56 and 57. The ceremony for the certification was celebrated at One Tower with customers and partners, and outside along the beaches of Balneário Camboiú, where FG extended its celebrations to the surrounding community. More than 1,000 people gathered in front of the One Tower to toast to the building's completion, which featured a light show, fireworks and a "ballet in the heights," with a renowned vertical dance group that performed for the first time in Santa Catarina.
