Groundbreaking for Riviere, the First Luxury Residential Building at the Paraná Country Club.

In an event marking a new chapter in the urban development of Alto Paraná, the groundbreaking ceremony was held today for the Riviere building, a luxury residential project to be built in the new commercial district of the Paraná Country Club, thus consolidating an urban vision that aims for a deeper integration of modern infrastructure, efficient residential living, and the natural environment.

With an estimated construction duration of two years and six months, Riviere is scheduled for completion in July 2027. From its conceptual stage, the project was conceived as a response to the new housing demands of a public seeking to combine quality of life, contemporary design, functionality, and a strategic location within a safe and well-established environment.

The building will be built on a 2,000-square-meter lot within the new extension of the Paraná Country Club commercial district, in an area that until now had not been used for residential purposes. This particular location gives Riviere a distinctive quality: the direct encounter between the Paraná River, one of the world's most powerful rivers, and an architectural structure that seeks to engage with its geography rather than impose itself upon it. This riverbank, which until recently was restricted access, is thus transformed into a new meeting point for nature, urban planning, and housing.

Riviere will feature 30 residential units spread across four living levels, with a ground floor dedicated to communal areas. The typologies were carefully developed to meet different resident profiles. It includes penthouses measuring 295 m², three-bedroom apartments measuring 205 m² and 195 m², as well as two-bedroom units measuring 137 m², 117 m², and 147 m². The dimensions not only express spaciousness, but also a spatial optimization that seeks to generate versatile, comfortable interiors adaptable to diverse living styles.

Each unit was designed with special attention to detail: en-suite bedrooms, spacious balconies with barbecue grills, a separate service area, a guest bathroom, fully equipped kitchens, and air-conditioned rooms. The apartments will be delivered semi-furnished, allowing owners immediate occupancy without sacrificing the ability to personalize their spaces.

The interior design was not only conceived in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of privacy, functionality, and efficient use of square footage. The result is a balance between design and livability, where comfort is reflected in practical choices: fluid circulation, natural lighting, cross ventilation, and an open relationship with the surrounding landscape.

The building will also integrate an amenities infrastructure geared toward well-being and shared use, while maintaining low noise levels, controlled circulation, and private environments. These common spaces include an event hall, playroom, gym, massage and relaxation room, shared laundry facilities, a perimeter garden, a lobby with reception areas, a staff area, and spaces such as a whisky room and a wine cellar, conceived as extensions of the home for specific moments.

Riviere is part of an urban master plan that expands the boundaries of the Paraná Country Club toward the river, creating a new residential center that seeks to redefine the relationship between residents and the river landscape. For the first time, the commercial area of the Country Club is physically connected to the Paraná Riverbank, creating a new pedestrian, commercial, and residential circulation circuit that opens up more diverse and integrated uses.

Beyond the scenic value afforded by the river views, the project's location within the Paraná Country Club—considered one of the most exclusive urban developments in the country—provides immediate access to commercial, educational, social, and entertainment infrastructure. This position reinforces Riviere's position as a project aimed at a demanding audience, who value quality construction and easy access to essential services.

Riviere offers self-financing options in 30- and 60-month terms. This payment option aims to facilitate the integration of homeowners interested in a medium-term housing solution without compromising quality or location.

Behind the project is Metrika, a developer founded in February 2021 by Carlos Jorge Gómez Núñez, Mauricio Segales, and Darío Arce, based in Asunción. The firm currently has three projects under development: Fronterra, in the final stages of partial delivery; Lofty, scheduled for delivery in July 2025; and now Riviere, whose construction begins this month. Although it is a young company, it has managed to quickly position itself thanks to its technical and strategic approach, based on alliances with established firms in the sector.

Construction will be carried out by Constructora Gómez Núñez, a Paraguayan company with over 30 years of experience in the field. Its experience has been key to ensuring the project's technical viability, especially considering its location in an area with unique geographical conditions and the need to integrate the design with the natural environment.

The architectural design was developed by EST Arquitectura, founded by architect Carlos A. Jiménez, with a track record spanning more than three decades and a portfolio exceeding 100,000 square meters. The studio has been recognized for its sensitive approach to the urban landscape and has received awards such as the "Windows to the Future of Architecture" award from the Center for Arts and Communications of the City of Buenos Aires, as well as the AIA magazine Lifetime Achievement Award.

The architectural proposal, the technical support of its developers, and the urban planning that encompasses it make Riviere a significant initiative within the Ciudad del Este real estate landscape. Its development will undoubtedly be a project to watch in the coming years, not only for its residential value but also for its contribution to the orderly and sustainable growth of this region of the country.
