New City in Panama to Increase Growth?

It was announced this week that British company, London & Regional Properties, is slated to transform the former U.S. Howard Air Force base in Panama into a new residential and commercial complex.

Howard Air Base closed in 1999 following Panama taking control of their Canal from the U.S.

The new complex is slated to cost $70 million and will be named the Panama Pacific Center. The Center is expected to create 20,000 new homes and 11 million square feet of commercial space. The project will create a new city within Panama City.

The project is slated to take 40 years and is expected to create 40,000 jobs. Financing for the project is slated to be over $750 million and has been put in place by UK Trade & Investment.
