News from Panama / Monday, December 30th, 2019

While I am not vetting this project yet, I see a lot of big names associated with the planning and I hear that sales have begun.  I hope that they clean up their website as I could not get into it and repeated requests for information only triggered error messages.

Plans have been unveiled for CasiCielo, a resort community in panama designed to catalyze global entrepreneurship, creativity, and change. set on an undeveloped peninsula in the archipelago of bocas del toro, surrounded by the caribbean sea and the 45,000-acre protected san san-pond sak natural reserve, CasiCielo is deepening panama’s growing appeal as an eco-tourism and adventure destination.

For developer circular strategy group, comprised of moshe levi and alfredo monagas, CasiCielo is more than 12 years in the making. in 2008, the team commissioned mario lazo of unidad diseño, a master planning firm focused on minimal environmental impact, WATG for its multidisciplinary approach to development, and XCO2, specializing in low-carbon environmental footprint design.

With people and places at the forefront of mind, the master plan speaks directly and specifically to Casi Cielo’s five development goals, all of which will have economic, social and environmental benefits for the local community.

A curated grid of 75 turn-key sites launches in 2021 with viceroy hotel & residences, featuring a 118-key hotel and 77 branded residences designed by zurcher arquitectos, wimberly interiors, and an elaborate wellness concept by GOCO hospitality. the coastal town of bocas is known for its relaxed atmosphere, featuring an eclectic mix of cultures, turquoise waters with world-class surfing, vibrant nightlife and jungles.

The essential interest in how a community will work and function in life is realized through planning with the village at its heart. It serves as a meeting place for locals and visitors from around the world, with a shared passion for learning, growing and evolving.

‘The canvas of CasiCielo inspires thinkers and professionals in all disciplines, from art and culture, to technology, philanthropy and entrepreneurship,’ adds moshe levi. ‘we are exploring long-term institutional relationships with think tanks and incubators in such relevant fields as sustainability, environmentalism, oceanic studies and longevity to establish meaningful partnerships at CasiCielo.’

Farm to table and the production of artisanal products in an environmentally friendly way are incorporated into the master plan supporting the development goals for Casi Cielo.

Architectural design fits naturally into the landscape at the shore and in the forest encouraging residents and visitors alike to experience everything from different perspectives. The built environment seamlessly interlocks with nature.

Oh well, let’s see what they do to open for business in 2021.
