Two separate cadastre numbers, giving flexibility to develop in phases or restructure the project.

Opportunity Zone rules change for investments made after December 31, 2026; buyer to verify the designation and benefits that apply to their investment. ONE BUILDING, MANY USES: The property has already drawn interest for a boutique hotel or guest house built around the pool and courtyard; a restaurant and bar using the retail spaces and the courtyard as outdoor seating; medical or professional offices with private parking on the adjoining lot; and mixed use with retail on the ground floor and apartments or short-term rentals above. THE BUILDING, CALLE MARINA #33: Built in 1897, approx. 6,155 sq ft on a 597 sq m lot with 18.38 m of frontage. Features a pool at the back of the property, a large interior courtyard ideal as the center of a hotel, dining area, or event space, and two retail spaces with direct exposure to Calle Marina to operate or lease.
