EcoHouse Group Developments Ltd is a multinational real estate company based in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil which specialises in the construction of social housing through the Brazilian government's Minha Casa, Minha Vida programme.[1] With offices in London, Singapore, Dubai, Sao Paulo and Toronto, over 1000 employees and more than 40,000 units scheduled to be built over the next four years, EcoHouse claims to be one of the largest development companies in Brazil.[2][3][4]

History

Launched in 2009 by Englishman Anthony Armstrong Emery, EcoHouse Group is currently the only UK company authorised to build developments under Minha Casa, Minha Vida.[5]

In January 2013, EcoHouse bought a controlling interest in Conisa Constructions, a 17 year old company specialising in the construction of premium homes in Rio Grande do Norte.[6]

Developments

Social Housing

EcoHouse’s first two social housing projects have been Arco Iris and Casa Nova, consisting of 220 and 515 homes respectively.[2][7] The second, Casa Nova, is located near São Gonçalo do Amarante - Natal International Airport,[8] which is set to open in April 2014,.[9] The latest EcoHouse development is Residencial Bosque, which is also located near São Gonçalo do Amarante[10] and is intended to consist of around 2,200 homes.[2] All units are funded by international investors, mainly from the UK and Singapore.[11]

Alongside all developments, EcoHouse is planting thousands of Indian neem trees to help combat the threat posed by mosquitoes.[2]

Other Projects

EcoHouse Group sponsors Alecrim FC in Natal, which has recently signed Stefano Seedorf, cousin of former-Dutch international Clarence Seedorf,[12] as well as Alecrim Rugby Club, which reached the 2012 Brazilian Cup Final.[13]

The company asks all buyers registering for its developments to donate R$1 and a can of powdered milk to local orphanages.[2]

In April 2013, EcoHouse Group was invited to participate in MAIS RN,[14] a partnership between the Rio Grande do Norte state government and the Federation of Industries of Rio Grande do Norte (Fiern), which will conduct a full evaluation of the economy, production techniques and infrastructure needs of Rio Grande do Norte.[15]
