Oceans, Cities, Icons: Myrtha’s LATAM Projects for 2026

As Latin America enters a new phase of architectural development and investment in sports and hospitality infrastructure, Myrtha Pools is preparing to complete three major projects across the region in 2026. From a high-rise residential development on Mexico’s Pacific coast, to a landmark public sports facility in Bogotá, to a signature hospitality project in Uruguay, these initiatives highlight the breadth of applications made possible by Myrtha’s modular pool technologies and engineering expertise.

Along the coastline of Mazatlán, the STELARHE residential development is taking shape as a distinctive high-rise project composed of two 30-story towers connected by aerial bridges. Designed in dialogue with the surrounding coastal landscape, the complex combines architectural ambition with demanding structural requirements.

Water plays a central role within the shared lifestyle amenities. The development features a total of 16 pools, four of which are located in the common areas and constructed using Myrtha’s modular stainless-steel technology, particularly well suited to elevated installations where reduced structural loads, durability, and flexibility are essential.

The remaining pools, located within the penthouses, will be finished with Myrtha Skin and refined surface treatments, ensuring long-term performance and a high level of aesthetic integration. STELARHE represents a significant application of Myrtha technology within the high-rise residential sector in Latin America.

At the core of the complex is a 78-meter indoor competition pool equipped with two movable bulkheads, a configuration that positions it among the longest indoor competition pools in the world. The project was commissioned by IDRD, Bogotá’s municipal sports authority, with local coordination by Sinergym. Construction is being carried out by AMR Construcciones, while Myrtha is supplying both the pool structure and the Martin Aquatics filtration system.

Installation of the competition pool is scheduled for the first half of 2026. The Gibraltar facility will support elite sport, training activities, and community use, reinforcing Bogotá’s position as a regional reference point for aquatic infrastructure. The project demonstrates how Myrtha’s modular stainless-steel solutions effectively address the needs of public authorities seeking durable, adaptable, and competition-ready facilities.

The masterplan, designed by the late, internationally renowned Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, includes three high-rise towers ranging from 30 to 60 stories, alongside the restoration of the original historic building. Within this complex development, Myrtha Pools will deliver four elevated pools, two indoor and two outdoor. One will serve a private penthouse, while the remaining three will be integrated into the resort’s shared wellness and leisure areas.

Given the scale and technical complexity of the project, close coordination has been required from the early design phase onward. Myrtha’s involvement, supported by both Myrtha and RenovAction technologies, is intended to ensure that the pools meet the architectural and performance standards of a high-end hospitality development while addressing the structural demands of high-rise construction. Pool installations are expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.

Together, these three projects illustrate the scope and diversity of Myrtha Pools’ activities across Latin America. In Mexico, STELARHE demonstrates the integration of water features within complex high-rise residential developments. In Colombia, the Gibraltar center reflects a strong commitment to public sports infrastructure. In Uruguay, the Cipriani project combines contemporary hospitality with the redevelopment of a historic site. Across these diverse contexts, Myrtha’s self-supporting modular stainless-steel systems, water treatment solutions, membranes with recycled content, and renovation expertise enable architects, developers, and public institutions to deliver ambitious and durable aquatic projects throughout the region.
