Los Pingos Begins Construction of Its Amenities: The Beginning of a Community-Based Lifestyle

Construction work is beginning to shape the project's common spaces, a key stage in consolidating the comprehensive vision of a neighborhood that prioritizes functionality, human connection, and everyday well-being.

Yesterday marked a new chapter in the development of Los Pingos: Country Club , with the formal start of construction on the amenities. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by representatives from Benítez Bittar, Altius Group Paraguay, investors, future residents, and neighbors of the Surubi'í neighborhood. This event symbolized not only the progress of the construction but also the consolidation of a comprehensive project that aims to transform the way people live on the outskirts of Asunción.

Located within the traditional Surubi'í neighborhood, Los Pingos is a large-scale residential development that combines nature, modern infrastructure, and active social life. Strategically located on the banks of the San Francisco Stream and just 3,200 meters from General Aquino Avenue, the Transchaco Route, the project is positioned in one of the most promising areas of the metropolitan area, in a setting linked to some of the capital's most emblematic social and sports institutions.

Los Pingos' amenities were conceived as a real differentiator in the local market. It's not just a list of services, but a comprehensive experience that reflects a deep understanding of everyday needs. The club area will include a barbecue area with capacity for sixty people, designed as a community gathering space for celebrating everything from birthdays to informal get-togethers. A 24-hour self-service supermarket will also be developed, accessible via app, a solution already successfully implemented in gated communities in other countries and which seeks to provide a practical response to everyday needs.

The proposal is completed with separate swimming pools for adults and children, a gym, a sauna, tennis and paddle tennis courts, and a multi-sport court adaptable to different sports. The entire perimeter of the neighborhood will be accompanied by an aerobic path of more than seven kilometers, allowing residents to walk, run, or bike within the property without leaving the safe and natural surroundings of the project. These spaces, far from being accessories, constitute the social and recreational core of life in Los Pingos. The intention is not only to offer services, but also to generate connections. In the words of its promoters, the true value of a gated community lies in the possibility of building a community among people who share values, interests, and a common lifestyle.

This concept is also embodied in the immediate surroundings. The proximity to the Centenario Club and its golf course, as well as to the CURDA and San José Rugby Club, contributes to enriching the proposal with sports and social activities that are already part of the lifestyle of many future residents. Security, tranquility, and the ability for children to move freely by bicycle or on foot between friendly homes are aspects that define this type of development, which aims for much more than a simple residential area.

Los Pingos was born as a structurally superior project: well-executed road infrastructure, meticulous landscaping, wide streets, natural lagoons finished with quality details such as wooden sheet piling, and foundation works that raise the land to safe elevations to mitigate flood risks. The development is currently 40% complete, and concrete work is expected to begin in February 2026, with the neighborhood fully completed by December of the same year.

In addition to the common spaces, the project includes the development of a shopping center at the entrance to Surubi'í. The first phase, already underway, includes the development's showroom. The food court and supermarket are expected to open later. The center will expand in stages, depending on the neighborhood's occupancy rate, and will include healthcare services, offices, and retail spaces, with a carefully designed, scalable, and functional aesthetic aligned with the project's comprehensive vision.

The consolidation of this urban ecosystem is also supported by the presence of the Maple Bear bilingual school, already operating on the property. This Canadian educational institution, with more than 500 locations worldwide, represents one of the pillars of the garden city concept proposed by Los Pingos: a place where one can live, study, work, and access services without leaving the natural environment. Connectivity will be strengthened by the duplication of the Route 025 road and the construction of a new access road from Route 3 with a vehicular bridge, already under development.

With more than 40% of the lots already sold—including both internal and lagoon-facing lots—the team is preparing to launch a new type: townhouses, approximately 170 m² in size, with a garden and private pool. These homes will be sold finished, offering a functional alternative to those looking to move without having to go through a construction process. These homes, whose design follows the same aesthetic line as the rest of the project, are intended for a wide audience, from young families to seniors who value comfort, security, and direct access to all the neighborhood's services. Their launch is scheduled for the next thirty days.

The architectural and landscape design was led by the Pacífica studio, led by architect Ezequiel Gil, who founded the firm in 2010 with his brother Félix with the goal of combining creativity and engineering in innovative developments. Pacífica's projects are internationally recognized for their original reinterpretation of European aesthetics, maintaining their functionality and simplicity while incorporating a contemporary vision that captures dimensions of reality that often go unnoticed. This vision is reflected in every detail of Los Pingos, from the design of the portico to the integration of the lagoon and trails with the natural surroundings.

Behind the project is Altius Group Paraguay, the local subsidiary of the regional group that has developed more than 80 million square meters in Latin America, with 29,000 residential units and more than 65,000 commercial square meters. In Paraguay, the group has delivered the More del Sol project and is currently building More Plaza , Nostrum Trinidad , and Central Mariscal . Altius's vision combines architectural innovation, urban sensibility, and a commitment to transforming the way people live and interact with their environment.

Los Pingos is not just another residential development. It's a new community model, a platform for planned urban development that has the potential to replicate what has already happened in other cities in the region: first come the neighborhoods, then the schools, and from there, an urban transformation unfolds, bringing services, healthcare, higher education, and new centralities. Therefore, those who choose to live in Los Pingos today are not just buying land or a house; they are choosing to be part of a new concept of city.
