Apartments with Green-Belt Views in Costa del Este from $313,100

Residential tower by Empresas Bern on Boulevard Costa del Este, with more than 30 levels and seven apartment sizes: from 62 sqm (1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms) up to two Penthouse models of 116 and 195 sqm on the top floors. The mid-range models (78 to 85 sqm) have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; the 110 to 115 sqm units step up to 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with a corner, double-frontage layout.

Available inventory today totals 53 units: 2 of 62 sqm from $313,100, 23 units between 78 and 85 sqm from $366,600, 26 units between 110 and 115 sqm from $517,000, one 116 sqm Penthouse at $620,600, and one 195 sqm Penthouse at $1,043,250 — list prices straight from the developer's live inventory.

Finishes are premium across every model: the 62 sqm unit has an open-concept living-dining room with access to a continuous terrace (a lookout strip), plus the option of a second bedroom after the occupancy permit is issued; the 78 to 85 sqm models add a primary bedroom with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, with panoramic views from the upper floors; the 110 to 115 sqm units, in a corner double-frontage layout, include their own laundry room and kitchen pantry.

On the ground floor, the tower opens directly onto the street with a restaurant, a coffee shop, a "Market Place," and an atelier-style storefront under the building's own arcade — everyday retail at street level, not just a lobby.

Social areas are spread across several levels: Level 6 has a kids' zone (play structures, a themed climbing wall, swings) and a pool with gardens, while Level 37, on the rooftop, is an infinity pool deck with loungers and pergolas overlooking the Bay of Panama and the city skyline — the project's signature image, and the clearest argument for the top-floor Penthouse units sitting just below it.

Every unit faces a green belt — the mangrove and vegetation strip that lines Costa del Este along the bay — with the ocean and the city skyline beyond from the upper floors; hence the project's concept: "wild by design, urban by choice."

Costa del Este is the benchmark corregimiento in Panama City for professionals and upper-middle-class families who want to live close to their offices without leaving the financial circuit: business parks, the International School of Panama, the Costa del Este shopping center, and direct access to the Corredor Sur toward Tocumen and the Cinta Costera. Boulevard Costa del Este, where this tower sits, concentrates much of the area's developer offices and sales centers.

Any of this tower's models from 85 sqm ($399,500 and up) comfortably clears Panama's Qualified Investor Visa threshold: permanent residency for anyone investing a minimum of $300,000 in real estate, with funds from abroad deposited in a trust managed by a licensed fiduciary entity in Panama. That $300,000 threshold is permanent (Executive Decree 193 of 2024) — it does not rise over time. It's the fastest immigration category in the country, with processing taking 30 to 60 days.

Panama remains one of the top destinations for expats: according to the Expat Insider 2024 report, 82% rated it the best place to live, well above the global average of 68%. The dollarized economy shields assets from local currency volatility and has been a pillar for attracting foreign investment, on top of a stable democracy, a consolidated regional financial hub, and steadily growing tourism.

Empresas Bern is the developer and builder behind this tower: more than 45 years of experience, over 8,000 keys delivered, and more than 160 completed projects in Panama, with 60% foreign and expat clients — the same group building other Costa del Este and Calle Uruguay towers available in the PREB catalog.
