About this property

Lot size: 560 m² (6,028 sq ft) – Mixed-use, high-density zoning (single-family and multifamily) – Maximum height: 4 stories – Allowed lot coverage: 70% – Frontage: 23.07 m (75.7 ft) – Front setback: 2.50 m (8.2 ft) – Downtown Desamparados

This 560 m² (6,028 sq ft) lot is in the heart of downtown Desamparados, south of central San José. It has a current land-use certificate for high-density residential zoning, which allows both single-family and multifamily housing. With 70% allowed lot coverage and a maximum height of four stories, the land has strong potential for an apartment project, a mixed-use building with retail and housing, or a commercial project, in one of the most densely populated and active areas on the south side of the capital.

The lot has a wide 23.07 m (75.7 ft) frontage and sits next to the entrance of Colegio Vocacional Monseñor Sanabria, a vocational high school. The area is established and level, with very heavy foot and vehicle traffic, and it is surrounded by shops, services, banks, schools and public transportation. The property includes an existing house slated for demolition, so the value is in the land and its development potential. The registered survey plan is current.

Desamparados is one of the most populous cantons in Costa Rica and a key part of the San José metro area, with direct connections to downtown San José, the Circunvalación beltway and the main routes to the south. Its central location, flexible zoning and allowed density make this lot a solid base for an investment project.
