The origin

The first development

In 2010, before the signature houses and the corporate headquarters, Podium raised the Tropical Residence: twin buildings on Rua Madre Tereza de Calcutá, in Nova Parnamirim — the project that opened the builder’s journey.

On a 1,768 m² plot, 32 two-bedroom apartments with en-suite, designed by architect Verner Monteiro and developed by Tropical Incorporação.

The execution

From concrete to handover

Concrete structure, masonry and façades in acrylic texture: the project was run with Podium’s own, uniformed crew — the same site discipline that is a Podium trademark to this day.

Environmental licensing at IDEMA, a fire-safety design approved by the Fire Department and an enclosed staircase with emergency lighting: technical rigor from day one.

The community

Leisure on the ground floor

The ground floor gathers gatehouse, pool, barbecue area with accessible bathroom, playground and gardens — and parking in permeable interlocking pavers with green joints, at a time when that was still rare.

Electronic gates, intercom in every unit and a shared antenna completed the gated community, within reach of the Minha Casa Minha Vida housing program.

The units

Two bedrooms with en-suite, from 61 m²

Each apartment offers a living room with balcony, two bedrooms (one en-suite), a family bathroom and a kitchen with laundry area — floor plans designed for the first home of one’s own.

First-rate finishes for the segment: anodized aluminum frames, granite counters, Brazilian ceramic tiles and timber doors — the specifications met to the letter.
