This 26,000 sqm town center located at the eastern edge of the village of La Tablas is Panama's first exurban commercial development based on New Urbanist principles. The pedestrian-friendly main street is anchored by a grocery store at one end and a square at the other. This square is defined by a mixed-use building connected to a corner plaza activated by a museum and church. Two- and three-story structures with rich frontages line the main street which feature street-level retail below hotel, commerical and residential uses, creating a vibrant public environment. The southern edge of the site faces a principal arterial road that has been organized along a new frontage road lined with mixed-use courts consisting of residential above ground-level commercial.
