At over 500 meters high, the Senna Tower in Balneário Camboriú will be the largest residential building in the world, bringing together engineers and architects from the United States, Canada, Germany, Greece and Brazil to create a global landmark in innovation, luxury and sustainability.
When it comes to innovation and cutting-edge engineering, the Senna Tower in Balneário Camboriú steals the spotlight. At over 500 meters tall, what will be the tallest residential building in the world is bringing a team of international experts to Brazil to turn the vision into reality. But what makes this project so special?
What is the Senna Tower in Balneario Camboriú?
The Senna Tower is not just another skyscraper; it's a revolution in the market real estate. Located in Balneário Camboriú, the building pays homage to Ayrton Senna’s legacy with its bold design and technical precision. In addition to being an architectural landmark, the project redefines residential construction standards by exceeding 500 meters in height.
With solutions inspired by New York skyscrapers, the construction of the Senna Tower is a technical and artistic challenge. Its design combines innovation, sustainability and a level of luxury that promises to attract global attention.

- Brazil's first underwater tunnel! The project, valued at almost 6 BILLION, will pass through the SEA and reduce the journey from 50 to 2 minutes, but there is a problem: the Ministry and the Government disagree on the launch of the project
To get this idea off the ground, FG Empreendimentos brought together renowned professionals from six countries, each contributing their unique expertise.
United States: Cutting-edge structural engineering
Leading the structural part, engineer Fatih Yalniz, from WSP New York, brings technical solutions that ensure safety and efficiency. He has worked on iconic projects such as One World Trade Center and Steinway Tower, applying the most advanced technologies for stability at great heights.
Fatih uses mass dampers, systems that ensure the stability of the building even under strong winds, proving that science and engineering can transform challenges into opportunities.
Canada: Dynamic analysis and wind tests
RWDI’s John Kilpatrick is responsible for wind tunnel testing. With a portfolio that includes Taipei 101, he brings experience in ensuring that skyscrapers can withstand adverse weather conditions without compromising comfort or safety.
His work with mass dampers positions the Senna Tower among the most advanced buildings in the world in terms of dynamic engineering.
Germany and Greece: Innovative foundations and facades
Will Laufs, German engineer, is leading the design The façades with pleated glass and unique crowns, transforming the aesthetics of the Senna Tower into a true work of art. Harry Poulos, from Greece, brought his expertise in foundations, accumulated in his work on the Burj Khalifa, to ensure that the building has the most solid foundation possible.
Brazil's role in the Senna Tower
Brazil is not left behind in this project. Engineer Stéphane Domeneghini, from FG Talls, leads the architectural and technical management. Engineer André Bigarella, responsible for the execution, works to ensure that the Senna Tower meets the highest international standards.
These professionals show that Brazil has the capacity to compete globally in the supertower market, putting the country on the map of architectural innovation.
More than just a skyscraper, the Senna Tower promises to be a game-changer for Balneário Camboriú. The city, already known as the “Brazilian Dubai,” will attract even more tourists and investors with this mega-project.
The economic impact is enormous: job creation, real estate appreciation and a new benchmark in luxury tourism. The project reinforces Brazil's role as a leader in innovation and sustainability in the construction industry.
The Senna Tower in Balneario Camboriu is a symbol of how engineering and architecture can break barriers and set new standards. More than just paying homage to Ayrton Senna, this supertower represents the Brazilian spirit of innovation and determination.
With experts from six countries and cutting-edge technical solutions, the project is consolidating itself as a global reference. So, are you ready to see Brazil on top of the world?
How much will this eighth wonder of the world cost?
The choice of the name is certainly not a mere coincidence. It is audacious, just as much!
This work, with the participation of FG, Luciano Hang and the Senna family, will cost 3 billion reais.
