The site offers scenic mountain views and river frontage. These features would be enhanced by walking trails though tropical gardens, pocket parks and a state of the art recreational clubhouse. The commercial sector, designed as the ¨nest generation¨ mall for the area offers 20,000 square feet of space to accommodate restaurants, retail and professional services.

All required studies have been completed, water tap fees for residential use and commercial use has been purchased and certified by local water district. The governing municipality has approved and certified the pre project designs, engineering and concept. INVU approval is expected to be delivered which will complete the phase I process for national approval of the project. The D-1 SETENA permit would be the next development phase.
KEY PROJECT POINTS: Uvita de Osa has been selected as the area best suited for expanded commercial activity for the Southern Zone. In the last 2 years, four major banking institutions in Costa Rica have constructed new enhanced facilities there. Two of the country’s major supermarket chains have built modern stores to service the growing community. New smaller commercial malls and product suppliers have sprung up in the area. Also represented is Costa Rica’s largest appliance store as well as all levels of up scale community services with legal, medical, veterinary and engineering offices to name a few.

PROJECT OVERVIEW: The property offers what few developments in the area can offer. Easy access, convenience to established services, scenic vistas and walking distance to a number of beaches and National Marine Ballena. The concept is to cluster single family homes around a man made waterway and provide gentle access by way of trails that connect all the homes to community gardens and the year round stream already on the premises. The commercial mall development is considered an additional amenity with direct access from the residential area and provides additional public access from the coastal highway. Security and on site maintenance structures provide for the safety of both commercial and residential uses.
The development is located 2 kilometers from banking, shopping, and all types of professional and hospitality services. The site is flat to gently sloping providing an ease of development not generally found in the area. Water and electric have already been brought in the property. High speed telecommunications cable runs along the property line.
