Very cool! My only worry is Dominican fire dept, are they ready to handle a blaze in one of those structures.

I live in Santo Domingo, and there are too many constructions going on. No precautions or planning are being taken in account to the density of poblation this will generate.

Plus, theres no demand for so many apartments, which I think in a year or two when all this buildings get completed, will create a semi-sort-of crisis.

Just arround my house there are 4 (!!!!!!) constructions taking place. So imagine, music, noises, dust 7x24. Just only think of the traffic problem this will cause. All this rich people will have great apartments with great luxury cars in their parking slots and will have to end up taking the metro cause traffic will move slower than a river carrying cement.

Well when I try to move to Santo Domingo I spent two month trying to find an apartment to rent... I think there is a lot of demand this project just came out 2 weeks ago (www.torremarazul.com) and they have already sold 63 apartments.

I checked the site and those apartments are very nice. How many people in the DR do you think can afford an apartment that starts at US$ 365,100.00?

Really I don't know but they have sold 63 apartments already...to whom I don't know

More towers and the blue mall that looks alike to diandy xx

As Frank stated: will the city's emergency services be able to handle a major disaster? I Don't think so. In addition what good are luxury units when you have to be cocoon inside? The city does not have social resources nor infrastructure to allow people to venture outside of their hotels and condos and comfortably enjoy the cities cultural and ethnic services. The upside is if investors rent these units to tourist, then tourist and investors will have other options available.

This all looks interesting, but I'd also worry about municipal services. Are these developers also providing for private security of some sort?

I don’t know if our firefighters department is ready to extinguish a fire in a building of 40 or 60 floors, or if our streets will be more chaotic than they are right now, but surely is that we have to build high rise buildings instead of making our capital larger going wide. I suppose that those who are building these structures are taking these factors in consideration.




Nice thinking!!! and at the same time made me laugh a lot ... could you tell me what would happen if the truth is a Dominican woman?...
