Quiet coastal living with care for nature and turtle habitats.
Building a home in Playa Grande costs between $1,900 and $3,400 per square meter ($176 to $316 per square foot). Because Playa Grande neighbors Las Baulas National Marine Park, homes must follow clear rules to protect sea turtles, including soft amber outdoor lights and height limits. We ensure full compliance.

Sandy coastal ground near the beach, rising into wooded hills. We preserve native shade trees and use permeable pavers that let rainwater soak in naturally.

Once stamped by CFIA, our affiliated licensed project engineers submit the blueprints directly to the Municipalidad de Santa Cruz for final licensing, environmental review, and municipal tax payment.
