Permitting
Dense urban cantón with tight lots and neighbours on both sides. Demolition permits, party-wall conditions and construction access all need resolving before the build permit is useful.
San José Central Valley Area #05
The truest density opportunity in the Central Valley — roughly 4,423 residents per km² in 2022 against 2,071 in Escazú. Land is scarce, so teardown and assemblage outperform raw-land searches.

Development fit
High-end urban infill, contemporary custom homes, replacement development.
Year-round living, deepest resale market, strongest municipal infrastructure. We size every structure against the seismic zone the lot sits in, raise and drain the foundation, and detail the envelope for San José's climate — the same Código Sísmico standard on every build, adapted to what Curridabat actually throws at a house.
