I have watched this project since the bidding process where several suitors offered hundreds of millions of dollars for the rights to develop the former US  Howard Air Force base.  A good friend of mine back in Miami lost the bid to London and Regional out of the UK for an amount in excess of $700 Million.  It is now a thriving complex and the list of multinationals is growing rapidly.  There is a fantastic residential component that will make this a City with the City of Panama.  This in from CentralAmericaData.com
