Ébano — Pre-sale at Santa María Golf & Country Club, from $617,600

Ébano is Grupo Valor Development’s new tower at Santa María Golf & Country Club — "crafted to be iconic," as the developer itself describes it. Rising 47 floors with views over the golf course, the city, and the sea, it sits along the same corridor where Valor already has Marea II, Aria, and Solana, its other established projects in Costa del Este and Santa María.

Valor Development is a Panamanian builder founded in 2012, when the founding family was looking for a better housing option for themselves and ended up building a company around it. Its flagship project, Marea in Costa del Este, earned recognition as an iconic building for its quality, spaciousness, and exclusivity — the same philosophy now carried into Ébano, its latest bet in Santa María.

Each typical floor has 4 apartments — Model A, B, C, and D — all with 3 en-suite bedrooms, plus a visitor bathroom and a separate service room. Models A and B run around 160 sqm; Models C and D, 154 sqm. Finishes include imported wood or handcrafted porcelain tile floors, Italian-designed kitchens with quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and smart-home pre-wiring.

The developer’s renders show master bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the golf course, with the city skyline and the sea as a backdrop, and open kitchens with a quartz island, wood cabinetry, and shelving with integrated indirect lighting. The double-height lobby, with dark marble, indoor trees, and statement chandeliers, sets the same tone carried through the building’s common areas.

Amenities to match the name

The building dedicates several full floors to amenities: its own Amenities Center, an adults-only zone, a wellness area, a coworking space, a wine bar, a café, a padel court, a kids’ zone and a small theater room, plus a lobby, gym, and pool. It’s built for buyers who want a building with a life of its own, not just a place to sleep — the kind of amenity floor that turns a residential tower into its own small community.

"Founders" pre-sale pricing

Ébano is in pre-sale, with an exclusive "Founders" price list ahead of the project’s official launch — prices and availability can change without notice, as the developer itself warns. As of this listing, the lowest available price is $617,600 for Model D (154.40 sqm, 7th floor); available Model C starts at $633,040; Models A and B at $663,834. Most of the lower and mid floors are already sold — availability is concentrated on the higher floors of each model.

Any of these units 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 Panamanian fiduciary. It's the fastest immigration category in the country, with processing taking 30 to 60 days.

Santa María Golf & Country Club is one of Panama City's most established residential corridors, with its own golf course, proximity to Costa del Este and Punta Pacífica, and a growing supply of high-end towers like this one. For a buyer who values being near the golf course and the financial corridor without giving up a new building with full amenities, Ébano is one of the newest options in that market.

As with any pre-sale, we recommend any interested buyer confirm directly with us the current availability and price of the specific unit they’re interested in before making a decision — the price list changes frequently as units get reserved, and being pre-launch, Ébano is also one of the few towers in this corridor where a buyer can still pick a specific floor and orientation before construction is finished.
