With over 58 percent of the condominiums sold as of February 23, 2021, the first stone was laid for the development of another large project in San José, Costa Rica: the second phase of the dual-tower Torres Los Yoses, a real estate project that will generate livelihoods for 500 families and 1,200 indirect jobs.
The project will be located on the west side of Auto Mercado Los Yoses and will garner an investment of more than US$18 million. The project is expected to conclude in January 2022, and it will deliver around 16,500 square meters of space across will have 19 levels, 119 apartment units and amenities such as coworking areas, a swimming pool, lounge, gym, meeting rooms, green space, cinema and laundry facilities.
This announcement came from José Luis Salinas, president of the Del Parque Real Estate Group, who explained that “these high-quality real estate projects, which provide benefits in sustainability, comfort and well-being for the inhabitants, [continue to drive the] repopulation of the capital.”
“These slender towers are designed to maximize the convenience of their residents, especially in aspects of safety and quality of life,” Salinas emphasized. “The exclusive complex offers the benefit of providing everything within reach. The quick placement of these condominiums is due to the fact that people have found it wonderful to live in San José again, but also, the location of Los Yoses allows the condominium owners to be on Second Avenue and close to absolutely everything: universities, banks, supermarkets, hospitals, pharmacies, excellent public transport service and only 200 meters from the popular dining area, Escalante, [created a more walkable environment],” Salinas explained.
The construction will use LED lights throughout the project to save energy and install windows with laminated glass to improve comfort and security in the apartments. These apartments will range in price from US $79,000 to US $180,000.
“Projects of this nature fill us with joy because they generate a representative dynamic effect for the country and therefore for the population,” said Randall Murillo, director of the Construction Chamber.
Carlos Ferderspiel Pinto, Torres Los Yoses investor, called on the business sector to start generating employment, saying that it was an essential action step that must be undertaken, especially during this time of economic hardship. With this project alone, more than 500 direct jobs and 1,200 indirect jobs have been generated.
