Dupont Tower Adds New, Easy-Care Floor Plan

Date: 11/15/2006

You already know that there is a wealth of new condo projects going up in Panama City, and it's getting a little difficult to keep them all straight.

However, Dupont Tower, the luxury Punta Pacifica project by Grupo Los Pueblos, is distinguishing itself in a unique way. Smaller units are being added.

Sound counter-intuitive? It's not. It's actually pretty savvy. Dupont Tower will still feature spacious condo units for anyone who wants to really stretch out. But what about those of us who don't care to have a maid to clean all that space?

Don't get me wrong, having a good housekeeper to do the dirty work for you is terrific…and very affordable here in Panama. But having a maid is not for everybody.

First, it feels odd to many North Americans to have someone in your space, moving your things around…which is essentially what a maid does.

Second, not many North Americans I know have any experience managing domestic help, and in a second language at that.

And third, there are some North Americans who just grew up doing their own sweeping and dusting and want to keep it that way. They're more comfortable doing it themselves.

Grupo Los Pueblos understands. They've updated the floor plans for Dupont Tower to include a number of comfortable, luxurious units starting at just a little over 1,346 square feet. Plenty of space in which to kick back, relax, and enjoy your magnificent ocean view. Not so much that you need to waste an entire day cleaning it or to pay someone else to do it for you.

Dupont Tower will rise 50 stories above the shoreline of the Bay of Panama, and each floor will feature four beautiful condos, each with terraces and unparalleled ocean views. Whether you're looking for an easy living, one-bedroom like I describe above or a magnificent three-bedroom "mansion in the sky," Dupont Tower offers it.

Dupont Tower is designed in a very upscale, modern, New York style. The ground floor will feature a huge lobby and parking facilities for visitors. The next five levels will be covered parking for residents. On Level Six, residents will find a complete lifestyle and wellness area that will include:

Pool
Jacuzzi
Fitness Center
Solarium
Half Basketball Court
Children's Playground
Children's Playroom
Children's Pool
Squash Court
Party Room
Kitchen
Bathrooms
BBQ Area
Gazebo
Putting Green
Yoga and Tai Chi Terrace
Covered Terrace with Bar
Each unit at Dupont Tower will come fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer/dryer, water heater, and light fixtures.

Dupont Tower will feature its own emergency power generation system, four high-speed elevators, and 24/7 security. And all residences will be Internet- and cable-ready.

Now, add to all this the fact that prices for the new, more manageable 1,346-square-foot condos start at just $173,600. That price goes up, of course, as you move higher up the building, but you can see how close you are to being able to own an ultra-modern luxury condo in one of the most active and interesting metropolitan areas of Latin America.

And you're even closer than you think, because Dupont Tower offers very easy payment terms. Just $10,000 reserves your unit at current pre-completion prices. You'll then have seven months to complete your 30% down payment. At closing, the remaining 70% puts the keys in your hand early in 2009.

And don't forget, Club Panama Members receive an additional 1.5% discount. (Not a Club Panama Member yet? Just click here.)

Dupont Tower has a winning combination for anyone who is looking for the luxury of an ultra-modern oceanfront condo in Panama City, but doesn't necessarily crave a household staff to manage it.
