Living outdoors and surrounded by greenery

Come and live in a condominium full of nature and close to unique national parks.

Our residential project integrates the natural environment into daily living. The blue and green views of the mountain panorama surround the living area and amenity area as well. The Alajuela region boasts forested areas with coffee plantations and trees of different varieties and sizes. During the dry season, our privileged views are dotted with bright orange flowers and leaves. The Poró tree (Erythrina Poeppigiana) blooms between December and April, decorating the landscape with its vivid color. These trees are used to shade the coffee plantations, which are very common in this area.

Why 'The Canal'? What type of housing or community are they?

We name our project The Canal in memory of the old irrigation system part of the sugar mill, the most common agriculture in the area, which has been on this land for over 100 years. This canal borders the hill on which the residential and its amenities are built and today is a path that the condominiums can walk on daily. It is already paved and will be a sidewalk for recreation, sports and wellness. It is decorated with local plants and flowers that border the water flowing in the canal, adding color and decoration.
