Safety and health care have entered the list of priorities for those who want to travel these days. Knowing in advance if your chosen destination has places that comply with the health measures required to combat COVID-19 is one of the factors that count when choosing a leisure trip. To meet this demand, the State Government launched the Viaje+Seguro SC seal, which certifies enterprises as safe tourism locations.

Recently, the Almeida Junior group’s six shopping malls received this certification. Since the opening of the shopping malls last year, the group has been concerned with ensuring the safety of its visitors. Besides the mandatory measures of mask use, social distancing and availability of alcohol gel, Almeida Junior imported from the United States the SDST sterilizing solution, which allows a prolonged action that treats surfaces eliminating 99.99% of microorganisms. All the touch points in the malls received the application of the product.

Besides the recognition from Santa Catarina, the mall chain also received the Safe Travels international seal, granted by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), which is backed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The award is the national recognition of the talent, competence, and commitment of companies with active management in the country for a better and more competitive Brazil.

 

ALMEIDA JUNIOR is the winner of the Leaders of Brazil 2020 Award in Santa Catarina. The announcement of the award carried out by LIDE Unidades, was made last night (12/14), in an online ceremony that brought together more than 300 businessmen from all over Brazil. The award is considered the greatest national recognition of the talent, competence and commitment of companies and executives operating in the country, for a better and more competitive Brazil. In the 2020 edition, the award is even more relevant due to the atypical scenario that the world has faced.

ALMEIDA JUNIOR was chosen in Santa Catarina for the launch of a bold and winning project: AJPLACE, the group’s marketplace that brings together tenants from the company’s six shopping malls, in addition to other national and international brands not yet present in SC.

In seven months, the company created and launched AJPLACE, an innovative platform for a marketplace that is already born large and has been preparing to consolidate itself as the largest online platform for shopping mall tenants in southern Brazil.

“Receiving this award in such a challenging year for any company in the world has an even more special meaning. The recognition consolidates our belief that innovation is essential and motivates us to continue this path of doing beyond the obvious”, says the company’s CEO, Jaimes Almeida Junior, who received the award.

Only 16 companies were awarded throughout the country. The companies were chosen by the Management Committee of each LIDE unit, in a remote voting. The committee is composed of business leaders from different sectors of the Brazilian economy.

“The design and launch of the AJPLACE project represent a revolution in Brazilian retail, with impact and value creation for millions of consumers. Certainly, this is one of the main and most relevant business highlights in the country in 2020 and represents the workforce, innovation, and pioneering spirit of the entire Santa Catarina market”, says Delton Batista, president of LIDE SC.

Grupo Almeida Junior has just announced another initiative to the market, AJ Realty, a company whose purpose is to incorporate buildings with disruptive projects exclusively around its six shopping centers. With expertise in building more than 700,000 square meters in seven shopping centers, Almeida Junior brings its construction know-how of over 30 years to AJ Realty.

The purpose of AJ Realty is to bring to clients and investors in the real estate market differentiated architectural projects with buildings connected to the six shopping centers of the Almeida Junior chain in Santa Catarina, providing residents with an exclusive experience with the coexistence between buildings and shopping centers in a “unique body”.

The first building will be launched in the coming months in Balneário Camboriú. It will be a residential one with the name THE SPOT ONE, connected to Balneário Shopping, one of the main shopping centers in the South of the country. With an innovative and exclusive architectural project signed by Manoel Dória, and interiors by architect Roberta Zimmermann, the development will provide its residents with an innovative living experience.

“It took over two years of studies to define the right product for THE SPOT ONE, where we sought inspiration and references with what is most modern and cosmopolitan in the world to bring a new way of life,” says the company’s CEO, Jaimes Almeida Junior.

The great differential of the building is the connection with Balneário Shopping, which offers a complete mix with national and international brands, the best of gastronomy, cinema, fashion and design.

AJ Realty will present THE SPOT ONE later this month in December in a stand located on the upper floor of Balneário Shopping.
