I remember walking aroudn duarte/mexico avenue many years ago when i lived in San Carlos. How different and how beautiful.

Sto. Domingo will be soon a world metropolis


Yes CarlosFranco SD is changing its face because it wants to be also a tourism destination... if one of you has visited the "Parque Enriquillo" in SD city and la Duarte or "Paseo Comercial de la Duarte" it was in a deplorable condition but in one month you will see a new face of these places when Roberto Salcedo inagurate them

This is how the work is up to now

I must say that SD really is undergoing an insane construction boom! Nice shots (the towers).

RE: Boom in Santo Domingo!!!
I dont want to be a party spoiler but do you guys think the average dominican is going to be able to afford an apartment in one of these towers? The capitol is over congested do you think these people will give their vehicles? The towers are nice but I like to see the benefits to the average dominican. Besides will the bureaucracy improve so that foreignors what have to go thru hassles and get a fair price rather than the gringo price? I have other inquiries but ill keep them on hold for now..Great pictures..

Well Jabao all the same questions can be asked of Miami, NYC...any city seeing rapid development anywhere in the world. The answer is no, these are not for the direct benefit of the average Dominican. Nonetheless I'd guess many people across classes benefit from the economic activity and infrastructure associated with them. I guess what I'm saying is it beats no development at all, and for the fortunate 'above average' it is a great thing.

I don't think so, but it may drive people to leave for the countryside... the country is quickly becoming depopulated and santo domingo is taking more people than it can handle... I think the government should focus also in developing other areas of the country but not for tourism's sake.

You're not spoiling anything. Santo Domingo is becoming a world-class city. Slowly but surely the investments pouring into the capital are resembling works of world-class cities. The typical domincan won't be able to purchase this unless he is able to work and earn very well. However, the typical will benefit by working on these construction projects and earning income that way. Congestion is a problem but that's why the gov't built the metro to alleviate the traffic chaos. Line two of the metro should be coming in the near future as urban planning for the city's boom.
