anama's Real Estate Landscape Shifts into High Gear
As the world slowly recovers from the pandemic-induced slowdown, Panama's real estate sector is poised for a remarkable year. According to Duncan McGowan, CEO of Punta Pacifica Realty, 2024 was a game-changer, with developers across the country unleashing a flurry of high-quality projects that raised the bar for the industry.
"The past two years have been a rollercoaster ride," McGowan notes, "but last year's surge in development activity has set the stage for a strong 2025." With preconstruction projects breaking ground at an unprecedented pace, existing property prices are expected to rise as demand outstrips supply. By mid-2025, McGowan predicts that real estate prices will have increased significantly.
One of the most exciting trends emerging is the growth of Playa Caracol, a thriving community on the cusp of transformation. With over 1,000 residences set to be delivered in the coming months, this coastal hub is attracting major brands like Radisson and Margaritaville, mirroring the success of destinations like Punta Cana, Cancún, or Tulum.
In Panama City, innovative micro-communities are redefining urban living. MOVA by B&B Italia, for example, is pioneering a new concept that seamlessly integrates work, play, and leisure into a single environment. As these spaces take shape, they're drawing in people from around the world who want to experience the best of Panama.
As demand for rentals continues to soar, multinational companies are expanding their presence in the country, driving up interest in Panama's real estate market. With its unique blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty, 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for Panama's real estate industry.
