By Puntarenas, Costa Rica — QUEBRADA GANADO, Puntarenas – The Central Pacific coast is set to welcome a significant new residential and commercial hub with the announcement of Amaní, an $18 million mixed-use development. Located in Quebrada Ganado, the project aims to address the region’s growing housing demand by introducing 146 homes, six commercial spaces, and a robust suite of amenities designed to foster community, sustainability, and an active outdoor lifestyle.
The development is poised to deliver a substantial economic boost to the Puntarenas province, projecting the creation of 150 to 200 direct and indirect jobs. Developers have emphasized a commitment to local empowerment, prioritizing the hiring of regional talent and the engagement of local suppliers. This approach is intended to ensure the project’s economic benefits are deeply rooted within the Central Pacific community, supporting local families and businesses throughout its construction and operation.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal framework and investment implications of the Amaní Project, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an expert attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who provided his professional analysis on the matter.
The success of ambitious undertakings like the Amaní Project is fundamentally tied to rigorous due diligence from the outset. Potential investors and partners must not only validate the financial projections but, more critically, ensure the absolute legal certainty of land titles and the proper acquisition of all municipal and environmental permits. Overlooking these foundational legal steps is the most common and costly mistake we see in large-scale developments in Costa Rica.

This insight powerfully underscores that the long-term viability of ventures like the Amaní Project rests not on financial projections alone, but on the unshakeable foundation of legal certainty. We sincerely thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing this crucial perspective with our readers.
The vision for Amaní was born from identifying a key gap in the market: a high demand for quality coastal living at an accessible price point. The project’s developers are positioning Amaní not merely as a real estate venture but as a purpose-driven community that makes seaside life attainable for a broader segment of the population.
Our goal with Amaní is to democratize access to quality housing near the sea, something historically reserved for a niche market. We are betting on accessible prices, modern design, and sustainability, because we believe that more Costa Rican families deserve to live and prosper in this region
Esteban Pastora Brealy, Developing Partner
This inclusive strategy is reflected in the project’s entry-level pricing. Studio apartments will start at US$105,000, two-bedroom apartments at US$140,000, and stand-alone houses from US$180,000. Commercial spaces will also be available starting at US$100,000. This pricing structure makes Amaní an attractive option for first-time homebuyers, families, and both domestic and international investors seeking a foothold in one of Costa Rica’s high-appreciation zones.
Sustainability stands as a core pillar of the development. The master plan commits to preserving at least 20% of the property’s original biodiversity. Environmentally responsible practices will be integrated throughout, including the use of LED lighting, efficient waste management systems, low-consumption appliances, and thermal insulation to reduce energy use. In a significant ecological initiative, developers will plant almond trees to strengthen the natural habitat of the scarlet macaw, one of the Pacific coast’s most iconic species.
Beyond its own borders, Amaní is set to contribute vital infrastructure to the surrounding area. A key component of the project involves the delivery of a new potable water collection tank to the Quebrada Ganado ASADA (local water administration), a contribution that will significantly bolster the community’s water capacity for years to come. This gesture underscores the project’s goal of integrating with and supporting the local community.
Life within the community is designed to promote well-being and connection. Residents will have access to over 20 amenities, including a clubhouse, a gym, recreational and semi-Olympic swimming pools, a pet park, and children’s playgrounds. The grounds will also feature natural trails, a multi-purpose sports court, green areas with BBQ zones, and co-working spaces, all secured within a community with 24/7 controlled access. These features cater to modern lifestyle trends where home is a sanctuary for work, relaxation, and social connection.
The project’s construction is scheduled to begin in March 2026 and will be executed in three phases, with a final completion date estimated for March 2028. Based on strong pre-sale interest, the development team is already exploring opportunities to replicate this successful model of accessible and sustainable community living in other regions of Costa Rica, envisioning Amaní as a new benchmark for residential development in Puntarenas.
