We at Virtus Atlas understand the sweeping changes and profound challenges that the world and societies are currently facing. In response, changes at every macro and industry level must be attained. At Virtus Atlas we are committed to facing emerging and demanding needs through what we have dubbed intelligent real estate development.

Concerns that have been building up during generations have been overcome over the last decades in an extraordinary manner, thus promoting improvements in the overall production, living and health standards, together with an accelerated urbanization and aging population. This has generated a whole new set of societal demands, particularly regarding environmental concerns, affordability of housing and living conditions in urban areas.

Enhanced use of public resources in partnership with private sector enterprises is an area where Virtus Atlas envisions part to response to the increasing challenges through greater impact in current and emerging contexts. Below is a link to a video disseminating the forthcoming Apec CEO Summit in Chile, which puts in perspective the societal challenges we face, which constitute part of Virtus Atlas’ mission.

Miguel Schloss, president of Virtus Atlas has been actively involved in developing environmental and energy policies in many countries (including Chile) and forging programs grounded in international experience to achieve long term solutions. Some articles in which our founders have published in these realms are “The extraordinary value of the subsoil in cities”, “Climate change: after so many warnings and disasters, quo vadis?”, and “Energy policy in a changing world”.

Luis Alonso has completed more than 60 architectural projects, in a joint effort between the public and private sector; he is co-founder of Virtus Atlas and Founder of the prestigious international architectural company “Alonso y Balaguer Arquitectos Asociados”. This endeavor is how we at Virtus Atlas address intelligent real estate developments responding to current and emerging social demands. As one example, below “Las Arenas” in Barcelona, which provides for more that 10 different activities under the same roof, including commercial, sports, leisure, cultural, conference center, theaters, restaurants, offices, and parking amongst others in a joint venture between the public and private sector.
