With more than 7.2 million tourists last year, Cartagena has not only become one of the main destinations preferred by Colombian travelers but also by foreigners, many of whom take advantage of their stay in La Heroica not only to enjoy their historical and cultural heritage to rest but also to do business and invest. Figures from the Chamber of Commerce of this city indicate that some 9,000 companies were created last year alone.

The development of large real estate projects is turning the city into one of the main attractions for those people who want to expand their investments and businesses, as well as for those who see this region as a point where they can have a second home or fix the rest destination for your family, above all, for the attractions that the Caribbean region has.
One of the big bets is the development of the Serena del Mar project, which has generated a significant boost in the local economy and great employment opportunities in the region, among other contributions to the growth of the city.

”I like to highlight that this project has a CASA pre-certification for being sustainable and healthy. Something that makes us proud and allows us to point out that it is an excellent asset due to its low volatility and that it will not receive the impact or devaluation of any economic crisis”, said Jonatan Lustgarten, general manager of the Attia Group.
Within this real estate development, other projects stand out, such as the “Meraki Club & Residences”, a modern and luxurious club of 10,000 square meters and nearly 300 apartments.
This proposal, led by Grupo Attia and Constructora Convel, consists of four stages that will have a total investment of more than 450,000 million pesos. The first is under construction and more than 80,000 million have been invested in it, while the second phase is projected to begin construction in the first quarter of 2024.
One of its main attractions is the sustainable design and architecture with which it is being built, its two infinity pools overlooking the golf course designed by the renowned architect Robert Trent Jones II for the new headquarters of the Club Campestre de Cartagena.
Also the common spaces, in which people will have a movie theater or spaces to share with family and friends, which for the manager will be an attraction for businessmen, foreigners who reside for a while in the country or people who wish to live a style of active life away from the chaos of the city, with a projected appreciation that can be between 28 and 30 percent per year.
”I like to highlight that this project has a CASA pre-certification for being a sustainable and healthy project. Something that makes us proud and allows us to point out that it is an excellent asset due to its low volatility and that it will not receive the impact or devaluation of any economic crisis,” added Lustgarten.
This project seeks to create a quality of life environment for its residents, promoting sustainability, social inclusion and respect for the environment. It will have a hospital operated by the Santa Fe de Bogotá Foundation; a public school, headquarters of the Universidad de los Andes, green areas and a wide variety of shops. besides, you will be lost in one of the most efficient areas of the coast in terms of energy, mobility and connectivity, since they have fiber optics and a thermal district that will help reduce the carbon footprint.
