Last Thursday, May 8th, Grupo Barcelona celebrated the official opening of Paraná Playa Costanera, its newest residential development in the city of Encarnación. The event was attended by investors, residents, real estate agents, and the entire Grupo Barcelona team. With 90% of its units already sold, Paraná Playa Costanera not only symbolizes a commercial achievement, but also the consolidation of Encarnación as an investment and quality-of-life destination.

The prime location of Paraná Playa Costanera is, without a doubt, its greatest attraction. Located in a setting that combines the tranquility of green spaces with the dynamism of the city, the project faces the majestic Paraná River, in an area where the waterfront, the most important gastronomic hub, and just one block from Encarnación's main shopping center converge. This enclave not only offers accessibility and convenience, but also gives its residents the opportunity to live with uninterrupted panoramic views of the river, a privilege that has become the project's distinctive feature. Each unit, designed in an L-shaped structure, has been conceived to ensure that both the living rooms and bedrooms have direct views of the river, allowing residents to enjoy the incomparable landscape from the comfort of their homes.
During the opening, Grupo Barcelona executives highlighted the positive reception from customers, many of whom are repeat buyers who have placed their trust in the brand on more than one occasion. This loyalty is a testament to the quality of the product and the support of a development group that has established itself as a benchmark in the city. In this regard, they also highlighted the growing interest from foreign buyers, particularly Europeans from Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and Portugal, as well as South American investors, especially from Brazil and Chile. This trend is due to Encarnación's strategic location, close to the historic European colonies, and its projection as a rapidly growing residential paradise.
Encarnación is currently experiencing a period of transformation. The opening of new businesses and the expansion of its urban infrastructure have turned the city into a center of opportunity. This growing economic activity generates a steady demand for rentals in well-located areas, such as the Paraná Playa Costanera, where quality housing is still limited. Therefore, purchasing a property in this development not only guarantees an excellent place to live, but also an investment with high potential for profitability and capital gains. According to Grupo Barcelona executives, Encarnación is a city that is just beginning to unleash its true potential, and those who enter the market at this early stage will be able to take advantage of growth opportunities that are no longer available in other, more established cities.
Regarding available units, the project has just six two-bedroom apartments remaining, out of the 65 total units in the building. Prices for these last units start at $115,000, with flexible financing options tailored to the needs of buyers. Grupo Barcelona offers its own financing plans and works in conjunction with banks, facilitating the administrative process for obtaining mortgage loans, even with the possibility of immediate approval upon delivery of the units.
The amenities at Paraná Playa Costanera have been designed to complement a lifestyle commensurate with its riverfront location. The building features a large pool with a sundeck and panoramic river views, allowing residents to enjoy the scenery while relaxing outdoors. It also features a fully equipped gym, ideal for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and two heated barbecue areas with river views, perfect for social gatherings and private events. The project also includes three levels of parking, distributed across a basement and two upper levels, ensuring comfort and security for residents and their visitors.
The architectural design of Paraná Playa Costanera was led by the prestigious Bauen studio, led by architect Aldo Cristaldo, who has collaborated with Grupo Barcelona on previous projects. This continued professional relationship reflects the trust in high-level design, characterized by functional spaces, the selection of quality materials, and a modern aesthetic that enhances the surroundings.
Grupo Barcelona, of Spanish origin and with roots in the city of Barcelona, has built a track record of more than 15 years in Paraguay, establishing itself as a benchmark of trust, security, and solidity in the real estate market. Its first project, the emblematic Edificio Barcelona in Asunción, marked the beginning of a long-term vision that also led them to become pioneers in the city of Encarnación in 2014, with the first major development in the area. Since then, the brand has positioned itself as a strategic ally for investors, backed by the experience and quality of its projects.
Its business model integrates various units, including hotels and real estate development. It is notable for building its own projects through its construction company, which allows it to guarantee high standards of quality and compliance. It also offers comprehensive management services, providing investors with a complete solution that encompasses everything from property management to rental management, thus facilitating a secure and hassle-free investment.
During the opening event, the owners themselves shared their experiences, highlighting not only the quality of the units but also the ongoing support of Grupo Barcelona throughout the entire purchase and investment process. This support, combined with the group's long-term vision, ensures that Paraná Playa Costanera is not just a residential project, but a symbol of the new Encarnación: a booming city with real investment opportunities, a privileged riverfront setting, and a promising future for those who choose to invest in its growth.
