Gensler Creates a Better World Through the Power of Design with New Office in Costa Rica

Guanacaste, Costa Rica — Global architecture and design firm Gensler is making bold moves in Central America with the recent opening of its new office in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This expansion marks a strategic decision to further integrate into the region’s dynamic market and drive sustainable, forward-thinking design solutions that reflect Gensler’s commitment to “creating a better world through the power of design”.

The office launch underscores the firm’s long-term investment in Costa Rica, aiming to deliver both local and international projects that merge creativity, sustainability, and innovation.

Gensler, a firm with more than 50 years of experience and over 50 offices worldwide, has been expanding its reach across the globe by tapping into emerging markets and regions with high potential for growth. The decision to establish a presence in Costa Rica is not just about capitalizing on the country’s stable economy and growing business environment but also about aligning with its vision for sustainable development and environmental stewardship.

With the new office in Guanacaste, Gensler is setting its sights on contributing to Costa Rica’s impressive track record in sustainability. Known globally for its leadership in eco-friendly policies and renewable energy, Costa Rica offers a fertile ground for Gensler’s expertise in green architecture, urban planning, and design innovation. The office will be a hub for fostering collaboration across sectors and delivering projects that meet both local and international needs.

Guanacaste has great potential for growth, and this is a crucial moment to get closer, listen to their needs and become allies in their development. It is fundamental to understand what is happening in the area and, to achieve this, we must be present in the province

The strategic choice of Guanacaste is also significant. As a booming tourism and investment destination, Guanacaste has become a symbol of economic progress in Costa Rica, attracting luxury resorts, commercial developments, and residential projects. Gensler’s presence in the region will play a pivotal role in shaping its architectural landscape while promoting sustainable design practices that enhance both the natural and built environment. The firm’s portfolio, known for blending aesthetics with functionality, will be a key asset in elevating the standard of design in the region.

Beyond aesthetics, Gensler’s expansion is a testament to its philosophy that architecture and design can improve lives. The new office will serve as a launchpad for innovative projects across a wide array of sectors, including hospitality, commercial real estate, residential, and public infrastructure. In particular, Gensler has its eye on developing spaces that are not only visually stunning but also environmentally responsible, socially inclusive, and economically viable.

Moreover, Gensler’s decision to expand in Costa Rica aligns with the country’s ongoing initiatives to attract foreign direct investment, especially in industries that prioritize innovation and sustainability. As Costa Rica moves forward with ambitious infrastructure projects and urban development plans, Gensler’s presence can provide valuable insights into best practices and global trends, offering solutions that align with local priorities.

The new office in Guanacaste reflects Gensler’s broader strategy to serve as a catalyst for positive change, not just through design but through collaboration with local stakeholders, businesses, and communities. The firm is committed to creating spaces that are more than just buildings—they are environments that inspire, connect, and uplift.
