Panama’s real estate market is rapidly evolving toward proposals that integrate functionality, design, and more holistic experiences. Along this path, Locations has established itself as a benchmark in the development and management of projects that add value to the city.
With more than 15 years of experience in asset development and management, Locations’ philosophy has consistently focused on quality over quantity. Each project is conceived with the goal of delivering real value to the city and its communities, creating spaces that not only stand out for their aesthetics and efficiency, but are also designed to endure for generations. This long-term perspective has become one of the company’s defining hallmarks, reinforcing the trust of partners and clients alike.
Moreover, from the very beginning, the company has understood that successful projects are built through collaboration. As Carlos Vallarino, Managing Partner, explains: “The best projects are created when we bring experiences together. Every project is a partnership: architects, consultants, and ourselves working together to create places that truly add value.”
This vision has shaped the way Locations conceives each development: as a space that must integrate seamlessly into its surroundings and generate tangible benefits for those who visit it and are part of it.
A comprehensive view of the entire real estate development cycle
Locations operates under a 360° model that spans the entire real estate development cycle—from the moment an idea is born, through land acquisition and conceptual planning, to development, marketing, sales, and asset management. This comprehensive approach ensures that each project maintains consistency from its initial design through long-term operation.
That rigor is reflected in one of its most consistent achievements: an average commercial occupancy rate exceeding 90%, driven by the ability to attract and retain AAA tenants across its different shopping centers. “A commercial space must feel right for everyone: for those who visit it, for those who operate there, and for the communities that surround it. Beyond always going the extra mile in finishes and ensuring projects always feel new, the key to attracting and retaining AAA tenants—and to creating spaces that truly come to life—is not only in the design, but in caring for every detail,” highlights Carlos Vallarino, Managing Partner of Locations Corp.
This approach has enabled developments such as Punto Marbella and VenVersalles to become consolidated as commercial plazas that are not only points of reference, but also true gathering places within their communities.
Duality of uses and contemporary lifestyle
One of the most distinctive strategic pillars of Locations is the integration of different uses within a single urban proposal.
The company understands that contemporary life demands proximity, efficiency, and connection: spaces where working, accessing services, socializing, and moving around feels natural and seamless. In this regard, María Ximena Viggiano, Commercial Director of Locations, highlights the role of design as a tool to elevate everyday life: “A good project is one where every corner has a purpose—accessible, sustainable, and designed for the families who will build their daily routines there.”
This approach translates into functional, intelligent spaces aligned with a lifestyle focused on well-being.
A commitment to the country’s growth
Locations continues to strengthen its presence in one of the most dynamic markets in the region. With a solid track record and an expanding portfolio, the company is moving into a new phase marked by innovation and strategic vision, reaffirming its commitment to developing projects that enhance quality of life and contribute to a city with purpose.
