Titanium Tower

History

Titanium Tower is one of the most ambitious vertical launches by FGi (FG Empreendimentos) on the Balneário Camboriúi seafront. Announced in 2021, with construction starting in 2023 and delivery expected in 2027, the tower was designed with 240 metres in height and just 40 apartments — an extremely low density that takes to the extreme the logic of high floor area and few units per floor that defines the city’s skyscrapers.

It belongs to the family of skyscrapers that FGi has concentrated on the Avenida Atlântica seafront — the same lineage of record-holders that runs from Ocean Palacei (2012) and Millennium Palacei (2014) to Infinity Coast Toweri (2019), to One Toweri (2022), to Yachthouse by Pininfarinai (2023) and to Senna Toweri under construction. Titanium does not compete for the city’s height record, but it takes to the limit the other metric of the race: floor area per apartment.

• Concept: an ultra-high-end super-skyscraper with very few units of very high floor area — from 343 to nearly 796 m² per apartment.
• Curiosities: with 240 metres and only 40 apartments, Titanium is one of the lowest-density buildings on the seafront — a design made viable only by Balneário Camboriúi‘s regulatory logic, which rewards height and limits the number of units.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single reinforced-concrete residential tower, under construction on the first line of Avenida Atlântica. The design responds to the same regulatory logic that has sculpted Balneário Camboriúi‘s skyline: the onerous grant converts additional height into a contribution to the municipality, and the front setback grows with height — the shading cone, calculated from an angle measured from the axis of Avenida Atlântica, tapers the tower as it rises and produces the slender bow characteristic of the seafront’s skyscrapers. The rule limiting the maximum number of units per plot ratio pushes the product to the extreme at this address: just 40 apartments, of very high floor area, one or two per floor.

Balneário Camboriú: the address

Balneário Camboriúi is not a neighbourhood: it is the city in the state of Santa Catarina that turned high-rise development into an economic project and ended up with the most recognisable skyline on the Brazilian coast — an unbroken wall of towers facing a crescent-shaped beach. Avenida Atlântica, right along the sand, is the most sought-after axis of that race, and it was there that FGi concentrated the generation of skyscrapers that made the city the country’s largest hub of residential towers. Density comes at a price — the wall of towers shades the beach in the late afternoon, and what can be built along the front is a permanent political issue in the city.
