Costa del Oeste project is the first New Urbanist development west of the Panama Canal designed as a distinct regional metropolitan center. It serves as a model for the peripheral growth of Panama City, contrary to the sprawl currently in vogue.

The project will be realized in multiple phases and around residential, office and commercial uses which are combined in projects of various programmatic mixes, including housing for a broad social demographic spectrum. Costa del Oeste is designed to be connected to Panama City by ferry and by street car to Line 3 of the Panama Metro.

As the first Central American project to be built without clear-cutting forestland, Costa del Oeste will incorporate its natural setting into a unique public-realm-generated town dominated by its tropical landscape. The project is organized around neighborhoods and districts of distinct character, each of which reflects its locational advantage relative to the ocean, the hills, the tropical forest, the center and the urban edges of the project.
