Torre Almirante LEED and Fitwel

Fernanda Machado • 7/15/2025
The Torre Almirante Building, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, has just achieved two of the most important certifications in the corporate real estate market: LEED v4.1 Operations + Maintenance GOLD certification and Fitwel 2-star certification.

More than just certifications, these achievements reinforce the project's commitment to environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and the well-being of its users.

LEED O+M Certification: Recognized Efficiency and Sustainability

With 67 points in the latest version of the certification – LEED v4.1 O+M (Operations + Maintenance) – Torre Almirante achieved the GOLD level and stands out as a high-performance building in operations and maintenance. This certification, granted by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is geared toward existing buildings and evaluates criteria such as:

Energy and water efficiency

Indoor air quality

Waste management and preventive maintenance

Adoption of sustainable practices in daily operations

Achieving LEED certification reaffirms Torre Almirante's positioning as an example of sustainability and reinforces the role of our sustainability consultancy, which is responsible for the process as a strategic partner in the management of high-performance assets.

Fitwel Certification: Focus on Well-Being and Quality of Life

In addition to environmental performance, the 2-star Fitwel certification, in the Multi-Tenant Base Building category, positions Torre Almirante among the corporate developments that most invest in the well-being and health of their occupants.

Developed by the Center for Active Design, the Fitwel certification evaluates factors such as:

Accessibility and active mobility

Quality of indoor environments

Encouragement of healthy habits

Connectivity to green areas and local services

These elements directly contribute to productivity, talent retention, reduced turnover, and the strengthening of organizational identity.

A New Standard for Corporate Buildings

Achieving LEED and Fitwel certifications jointly positions Torre Almirante as a national and international benchmark for sustainable and healthy corporate environments. This milestone goes beyond technical compliance: it represents a more responsible, efficient, and people-centered vision of the future.

We believe that well-managed, sustainable, and humane environments are not only a competitive advantage, but a necessity for the current challenges facing companies and society.
