Potrero is the town that borders Las Catalinas, and over the last couple of years we have become involved in local affairs, trying to help out where we can. At the end of last month the Potrero Association received a Bandera Azul award for Playa Penca. This is a national award for environmental ...

Here is a link to a walkthrough of a 3-D model of our Phase One plan. It is still incomplete and a work in progress, but quite cool non-the-less!
Our ace trail building crews have created a new hiking trail through the central high peaks of Las Catalinas. This is one of the most dramatic hikes you will ever experience with stunning views in all directions. The trail is generally in the open, on the ridgeline, artfully looping back and forth ...
Yesterday we had the final studio presentations at the Notre Dame School of Architecture for this term's studio work on Las Catalinas. Very exciting! Most importantly I think we now have an excellent plan for the area just inland from of the public road from beach town. Also we got some well ...
We have a cool new click-able map up on our Punta Penca Homesites page courtesy of Jim Hodgson. Check it out. We have several customers in conversation about these lots and are making a major push to have a critical mass of them sold so that we can begin construction on the new street there as soon ...
I'm just back from a trip to the Notre Dame School of Architecture to review the work of this year's crop of fifth-year students. Once again, like last year, a group consisting of fifth-year students plus professors Samir Younes and Douglas Duany made a study trip to Las Catalinas in late August ...
Here are some more photos from the weekend, these focusing on the buildings and construction rather than the people. As of now there are three houses finished (OK, finished enough to sleep in, still some final items being worked on), plus the restaurant and Pura Vida Ride. All are unique, all have ...
There is a conspicuous hole in the ground on the eastern edge of Plaza Danta. Towering above the hole is a large green crane. So, you may have been wondering, what's going on here?
Some fragament of the Amherst College Class of '81
Here are some construction photos from last week, plus just a few others I couldn't help including. Two houses are essentially finished, and three more very close. It is all very exciting for those of us involved. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Saturday night after dinner I went for a walk with my six year old son. We stopped in to visit a couple of different families in our Atlanta neighborhood. It was nice. As we walked I realized that we have never, ever, driven to visit someone without arranging it ahead of time. Not in this ...
In mid-February, just off the coast of Las Catalinas, a lucky group of passengers aboard the catamaran "Lazy Lizard" were treated to an amazing show with mother and baby Humpbacks breaching the water. The mother was much larger than the 32 foot boat. The whales seemed to be showing off for the ...
Here are a few nice images of how the initial houses at Las Catalinas are coming along. Most of the houses are getting ready for final finishes. The installation of the hardscape for the public areas is about halfway done. We are in the home stretch!!
On Thursday evening we had a great party at Plaza Danta (Las Catalinas' main beachfront plaza) for some of our local friends. It was a near spur of the moment idea, but it took on a life of its own and we had over 125 people attend! Kudos to the whole Las Catalinas team, especially Alvaro Vargas ...
I suffer in winter. Here I sit in Atlanta gazing out at a drizzly 37 degrees Fahrenheit. But in Las Catalinas this time of year the weather every day is pretty much guaranteed to be perfect. Warm and sunny, low humidity, a nice breeze. Bob Davey calls it Ground Hog Day - after the movie where the ...
