Surge of Foreign Investments in Real Estate: Cabo Rojo Attracts International Buyers

In a move that underscores Puerto Rico's growing appeal as an investment destination, a group of foreign investors has acquired over 1,350 acres of coastal land in Cabo Rojo. This development not only highlights the significance of the real estate sector on the island but also emphasizes a renewed focus on properties of high ecological value.?

Capital Flow in the Real Estate Market?

The increase in foreign investment in the island has been significant, with more than 30% growth in transactions over the past two years. Cabo Rojo, known for its natural beauty and ecological resources, has become a focal point for developers seeking to capitalize on its tourist appeal.?

Value of Coastal and Ecological Properties?

The recent acquisition of coastal land reflects interest in spaces that not only offer beach access but also promote environmental conservation. Cabo Rojo is home to unique ecosystems that are increasingly valued by investors considering both economic return and the environmental impact of their projects.?


The chart shows that 63.6% of transactions involve single-family homes, followed by multi-family (24.6%), land (8.11%), retail (2.77%), and other types (0.93%), which include lodging and hospitality, recreational, office, and industrial properties, highlighting a focus on residential real estate.

Outlook for the Local Real Estate Market?

Analysts anticipate that this type of investment could be transformative for the local economy. The acquired land has the potential to be developed into tourist or residential projects, generating jobs and fostering regional economic growth.?

The chart shows the steady growth of property transaction prices in Cabo Rojo from January 2023 to October 2024. Starting at just over $100K, prices gradually increased, crossing the $150K mark, indicating a consistent rise in real estate value in the area over this period.

Conclusion?

The purchase of over 1,350 acres of land in Cabo Rojo by foreign investors marks a milestone in Puerto Rico's real estate sector. This development not only underscores international interest in the island but also raises the need to balance investment with environmental sustainability, a key challenge for the future of the market.?

Every time there is a new project or development on the island there is those in favor and against. We must search for a common ground for development and growth for our island paradise, the local economy and more importantly the people that live and work here. We are only a few weeks away from 2025- a global economy must attract manufacturing, technology, finance and industrial to thrive. We cannot just rely anymore on 1970s marketing for tourism, pina coladas and one day cruise visits. The wheel has been created- think and follow the Dubai, Punta Cana and Singapore models !!!...

Any enterprise willing to invest in Puerto Rico-in spite of all the xenophobic and ideological oppositions disguised as environmentalists-should be welcome. As long as it complies with all zoning & legal requirements for developing a private property, ehich are not few, no problem with it at all.
