Some 45 years ago, we set out with the ambitious goal of providing affordable housing, working to make Brazilian dreams come true. Over the last few years, we have crafted and shaped our story, becoming a brand-leading platform that offers a variety of housing solutions for individuals and families from all walks of life – after all, each person is an individual – and every individual is as important as the next. Our company has joined together the efforts of some 30,000 staff members aiming to build dreams that transform the world – because we believe that purchasing a home is not the end of the line, but the beginning of life-changing transformation and the origin of many dreams for the future. Our company is present in more than 160 cities and 22 states, seeking to bring quality of life, comfort and innovation to the doorstep of thousands of families. And it is our great pleasure to announce that, today, one in every 150 Brazilians has an MRV that they call home. But we don’t stop there. Each development comes with the essential building blocks of a community such as daycare centers, health clinics, paved streets, green spaces, reforestation and much, much more. Because growth and urban development require the balance of social responsibility and sustainability, in addition to meeting the true needs of each community – an essential part of our DNA and an example of our commitment to the people of our communities.
