Costa del Este (East Coast), Panama City

The East Coast (Costa del Este) is a neighborhood in Panama City, situated in the Juan Díaz township, adjacent to Lefevre Park (Parque Lefevre). This area is renowned for its sophisticated infrastructure, including underground wiring, gated residential zones, and a dedicated wastewater treatment facility. Since its introduction in 1995, the East Coast has evolved into one of Panama City's most significant real estate developments, spanning over 310 hectares.

The neighborhood is noted for its dynamic construction of skyscrapers and modern architectural styles. Part of the East Coast, previously known as the "Vertedero de Panamá Viejo" (Old Panama Landfill), has been transformed from a neglected landfill into a thriving Industrial Park. This transformation involved the innovative use of land reclaimed from deposits made during the construction of the Panama Canal. Additionally, areas that were once covered with mangroves and jungle have been developed into residential and commercial sectors through extensive land reclamation, using millions of tons of earth and rock sourced from nearby regions like Villa Guadalupe.

Today, the East Coast stands as the second-most valued area for residential projects in Panama City, trailing only behind the illustrious Balboa Avenue. This neighborhood exemplifies a unique blend of modernity and meticulous urban planning, making it a distinctive and desirable location within Panama's capital.
