It’s understood that in some parts of the world, the real estate market is having serious problems…

However, as anyone living in Escazu will tell you, there are big new high-tech office buildings going up, new million dollar luxury homes, new big brand hotels, new apartment towers being built – that look as good as any top-notch building you might find in a fashionable location London, New York or Miami – Escazu is more cosmopolitan than ever.

The Plaza Roble office center has also doubled in size over the last year or two and some very large, new office buildings have been built nearby housing companies like the global banking giant HSBC.
