In a city where concrete and speed set the tone, Salma Tower arrives as a living contradiction. Yes, it’s a Triple-A corporate tower. But it’s also a suspended ecosystem where fruit trees, birdsongs, and forest breezes flow through boardrooms, cafés, and workstations.

With LEED Platinum certification and 1,200 sqm of native Atlantic Forest embedded across 16 floors, Salma Tower redefines what a workplace can be. This isn’t about bringing plants indoors. It’s about turning the office into a forest.

More than a smart building, it’s a vertical biofilic manifest — arguably the boldest in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s a place where productivity meets nature’s tempo, and where the skyline grows new roots.

It represents the largest integration between native forest and urban architecture in Brazil, bringing real nature into the city.

It stands as a symbol of new corporate architecture—centered on mental health, sensory experiences, and green innovation.
