Serena del Mar, The Dreamed City seeks, from its conception, a healthy integration between the natural landscapes that surround it and the real estate developments that make it up. The project has been developed by Novus Civitas and its allied construction companies through innovative construction techniques, such as biophilic architecture, which adapts building design to the natural environment in which they are built, making them part of the landscape. Additionally, throughout the development of Serena del Mar, measures have been incorporated to reduce pollution, such as the thermal district operated by Celsia and the construction of internal roads that promote sustainable transportation, as well as measures in solid waste management and rainwater treatment, among others.

On the other hand, various measures have been incorporated in The Dreamed City to contribute to reducing pollution. For example, several projects like the Serena del Mar Hospital and some residential complexes have access to the thermal district service, which helps optimize the production and distribution of thermal energy for cooling, heating, hot water, and electricity systems. This solution reduces the carbon footprint by up to 600 tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere each year, thanks to cleaner energy regeneration processes with a reduction in consumption of between 8% and 10%. In terms of services, several sustainable systems have been implemented to protect the environment, such as the reuse of water, where treated wastewater is used for irrigation of green areas. Additionally, the project has a storm drainage system that directs most rainwater to the bodies of water in the Grand Canal, an artificial lagoon strategically located to prevent flooding.

With the integration of these multiple architectural and construction innovations, Serena del Mar is an example of how an urban development can be sustainable and respectful of the environment through its adaptation to its surroundings, while offering its residents modern comforts and the implementation of technologies that make it The Dreamed City for living.
