6.2.3. Residential Complexes Prados de San Cristóbal We carried out multiple urban interventions around this complex, such as the construction of a new sentry box in the access to the residential complex Pinares de San Cristobal to improve access security. We invested US$ 40 thousand, and partially covered its maintenance. In addition, we donated material for US$ 3,200 for the construction of a wall on the perimeter of the street “El Campanero”, to avoid the accumulation of waste; we donated to the municipality the back street of the complex, which allows easy connection to the village El Campanero. In addition, we ceded a land of 7,839.02 m2 from the project’s farm, to convert it into a vehicular access for those who go to San Marino or Balcones de San Cristobal, with an investment of US$ 1,045,202.67. On the other hand, with the maintenance of the waste treatment plants and a recycling program together with the contractor company, we mitigate the environmental impact. In addition, we built a Soil Nailing (containment wall) in the area affected by a landslide on “El Campanero” street, to contain land and prevent loss of access, to reduce the possibility of another landslide in the area, with an investment of US$ 38,658.08. These activities had a positive impact on the increase in surplus value in the sector, road improvement for people in the area, relieve traffic congestion and accident prevention. The complex affected the increase in the area’s traffic, due to the increase of the number of

houses, as well as the bad smell in drains, which was contained by implementing siphons in the pipes from which the gases came. Torre Real In the framework of this project, we invested US$ 1,2 million in the development of a underpass at kilometer 8 of the road to El Salvador. This underpass contributes to a greater fluidity of the road and better access to the project, and is under the administration of the municipality of the area. In addition, during the year it favors more than 100 thousand vehicles that go to the capital city. On the other hand, we installed LED lights in all the basements and common areas of the building, we started measuring water consumption in each apartment, with meters, and we carry out awareness-raising campaigns aimed at reducing water consumption. San Isidro 20|21 In this complex we installed an automatic garden-watering system to reduce water consumption, built a special tank, installed motion sensors in the duct of the emergency staircase, led lights throughout the complex and its common areas. In addition, we were challenged to contribute to a drainage network and drinking water and sewerage connectors to treat wastewater.
