The full spectrum

Vacational, investment, commercial, development parcels, resorts, club and marina memberships, condominium properties, and beyond — our Real Estate Law practice covers the full spectrum.

Real Estate acquisition and development in Costa Rica is tricky, as it represents a multi-layered (ad)venture with constant governmental interaction. Environmental protection regulation might become an important matter to navigate as well.

A preferred place to invest

A strong and well-rooted democracy, Costa Rica has become a preferred place to invest in Real Estate and the second-home market. Hence, there is an ever-increasing interest in developing prime residential, commercial and office-space, and tourism projects, mainly in the Central Valley area, and in the coastal towns in Guanacaste, Central and South Pacific, and more recently on the Caribbean side.

Condominium law

Most real estate developments in Costa Rica, whether residential, tourist or commercial, are either organized as a Condominium Association (HOA) or another similar private community concept. Among our most well-recognized assets and practice areas is precisely Condominium Law.

Our lawyers are experts in working with developers, especially foreign clients, to materialize functional communities under the condominium property system that directly speak to future investors and end-buyers. Our services include drafting of custom-made CC&Rs and actual registration of Condominium Declarations and HOAs.

We take Real Estate seriously, and our clients even more.

We are here to stay and build long-lasting relationships with our clients. Our clients are special to us, and we make sure they feel as such.
