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.


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?

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?

RE: Boom in Santo Domingo!!!

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.

RE: Boom in Santo Domingo!!!
Well ask me again when I am about 75 and perhaps I'll have an answer

The first part is a paraphrase of the thinker Nietzsche. Cold reason, hard logic, plain facts, & consistency; when is the last time those helped anyone attract a woman? So if truth is a woman one had better be prepared to approach her in a more 'diplomatic' way. And if truth is a Dominican woman throw reason and logic right out the door
