Jaco’s  strong development trend was confirmed when the Costa Rican government announced construction of the long-planned major highway from San Jose to Caldera, the country’s principal Pacific port, will commence in April. 

This highway will intersect with the Costanera, the main road to Jaco and the towns of the Central Pacific zone.  Driving time from San Jose and Costa Rica’s main international airport to Jaco will be reduced by approximately one hour from present 2- 2 ½ hours. 

Property and condo prices in Jaco have anticipated this connection to the Costanera over the past few years.  However, as highway construction has now become a reality, prices not only will continue their steady increase but very likely at an accelerated pace. 

One only has to consider the demand for land, and the number of new developments, in Guanacaste when the Liberia airport opened a few years ago. The pace of development and increasing land prices has not leveled off.

One developer in Jaco has emerged from this highly competitive market as the undisputed leader. The developer’s successful eight condo projects is confirmed by sales and re-confirmed by pre-construction sales. 

Buyers independently determine whom is this leading company based on a number of tangible and intangible factors. Number one, of course, are sales, which is the market’s definition of success.  Location, with direct access to and/or views of the beach is of paramount concern. 

A distinct tangible investment advantage for condo buyers exists if the developer’s property titles are legally registered to the Costa Rica 50-metre maritime line.  Properties so registered always have a higher re-sale value. All of the properties of this Jaco developer are correctly registered to the 50-metre line.
