Yachthouse Residence Club

Yachthouse Residence Club is a complex of twin skyscrapers in the coastal city of Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. At 281 metres (922 feet) and 81 floors, the two buildings are the tallest in Brazil and the second-tallest in South America (second only to Gran Torre Santiago in Chile) since their completion in 2020, when they reached their maximum height, surpassing Infinity Coast, located in the same city.[1] However, construction continued until late 2021.[2]

The building's construction involved about 600 workers and 87,000 square metres (940,000 sq ft) of concrete. The outrigger technique was employed.[2]

Extreme sports

Owning to its height, Yachthouse has become, even before its completion, a preferred site for extreme sports. In November 2017, basejumpers from all across Brazil reunited to jump from a 180-metre (590 ft) height.[3] In January 2021, wingsuit enthusiasts used the building for their practice.[4]
