Metrika and Edifica Present Lofty City Hub, a New Landmark in the Urban Evolution of Ciudad del Este

Located in the heart of Barrio Boquerón 1, the project is conceived as a vertical ecosystem that integrates housing, commercial activity, and collaborative spaces, reflecting a new stage in the urban evolution of Ciudad del Este.

In a market that is beginning to mature and diversify, Metrika is establishing itself as one of Paraguay's most innovative developers. With a brief history marked by milestones such as Lofty Co-Living, Fronterra, and Riviere, the company is once again challenging the paradigms of real estate development with its newest project: Lofty City Hub, a building that redefines the future of urban living in Ciudad del Este.

Located in Barrio Boquerón 1, the city's most dynamic and sought-after neighborhood, Lofty City Hub was born in an environment that combines the vitality of gastronomy, hospitality, and university education with a growing vocation for life on foot. Boquerón 1 has become the first truly pedestrian neighborhood in Ciudad del Este, where everything is within walking distance: cafes, restaurants, hair salons, gyms, and everyday services that make up an open, active, and safe urban experience. One block from the lake and with a guaranteed view thanks to the cul-de-sac that leads directly to the shore, Lofty City Hub's location epitomizes the city's new spirit: young, vibrant, and experience-oriented.

The building will be developed over 24 levels, organically integrating commercial areas, residences, collaborative spaces, and technological amenities. The architectural proposal is based on criteria of efficiency and sustainability, seeking to maximize the real estate and functional value of each square meter. The "urban hub" concept is realized here as a mixed-use ecosystem that brings together residents, visitors, entrepreneurs, and tourists in a single space. From the food and service venues on the ground floors to the residential levels and the rooftop with sky bar, each section of the building is designed to respond to the needs of a new generation of urban dwellers: students, young executives, and digital nomads seeking flexibility, connectivity, and community.

One of the project's distinctive features is its hierarchical vertical structure. The first floors will house gastronomic venues and urban services, with high-end offerings that complement the building without generating common costs. The intermediate levels will house contemporary residential units of approximately 23 square meters, intended for flexible stays and short-term rentals, while the upper floors will offer Lofty Suites of 40 to 60 square meters, geared toward executive demand. Between these two segments are amenities and common spaces, such as the coworking level, recording and podcast rooms, and a panoramic event hall designed for both social and corporate use. At the top, a double-height sky bar will become the first rooftop bar in Ciudad del Este with this design category, crowning the building as a new urban icon.

The commercial launch of Lofty City Hub marks phase zero of the project, with units starting at USD 35,000 for 23 m² apartments, with an average price of USD 1,500 per square meter. The direct financing scheme allows for entry with a 10% down payment and the balance in 30 interest-free months, offering buyers flexibility based on the type of property, orientation, and height. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2026 and is projected to be completed in July 2028, with a total construction period of 30 months. This commitment to concrete dates distinguishes the project in a market where many developments are launched without defined execution timelines.

Beyond its design and structure, Lofty City Hub represents a comprehensive investment model. The developer offers a professional 360° management system, encompassing complete unit management, from development and leasing to maintenance, tax payments, and results reporting. This service, provided in partnership with a specialized company that also manages the Fronterra and Lofty Co-Living projects, allows investors access to transparent, performance-oriented management. In a market where investors' primary concern is ensuring occupancy and effective rent, this management represents a decisive differential. According to CEO Carlos Jorge Gómez Núñez, the goal is to offer security and tangible results: "The biggest fear investors in Ciudad del Este fear is not knowing if their unit will generate the expected rent. We make sure that happens. Today we manage more than seventy rented units and Lofty Co-Working is practically full."

Metrika's strategy is based on a long-term vision and a keen understanding of the urban evolution of Ciudad del Este. The company identifies a cycle of expansion in this city similar to the one Asunción experienced a decade ago: a verticalization process driven by real demand, sustained land appreciation, and the opening of a local market to real estate investment.

Metrika's prior experience reinforces its execution capacity. Founded in February 2021 by Carlos Jorge Gómez Núñez, Mauricio Segales, and Darío Arce, the company has positioned itself in record time as one of the most dynamic firms in the country. Based in Asunción and with an active presence in Ciudad del Este, its current portfolio includes Fronterra , already delivered; Lofty Co-Living , with almost full occupancy; and Riviere , a premium residential project within the Paraná Country Club whose construction began in March of this year. Its technical solvency is backed by Constructora Gómez Núñez, a Paraguayan company with more than three decades of experience, responsible for the execution of Lofty City Hub.

Metrika's impact transcends the scale of a single building. In just five years, the company sold more than 76 units in Lofty Co-Living within eight months, mostly to local investors who had not previously participated in the real estate market. This phenomenon demonstrates not only the brand's ability to attract buyers but also the changing profile of Paraguayan investors, who are increasingly willing to invest in sophisticated, flexible, and highly profitable products. At Lofty City Hub, this equation is reinforced by a projected return of over 10% per year in dollars, consolidating the project as one of the most attractive opportunities in the eastern region.

Lofty City Hub is not simply a tower. It's a manifesto about a new way of living and investing in Paraguay. A project that focuses on innovation, connectivity, and sustainability as core values, and that translates into architecture a philosophy of life based on community and experience. In the words of Gómez Núñez, "We're not just talking about square meters; we're talking about experiences that move, spaces that inspire, and opportunities that generate real value."

With this development, Metrika reaffirms its role as a pioneer in the new generation of urban spaces, designing not only buildings but ecosystems that interact with the city and pave the way for a more mature and cosmopolitan era of Paraguayan real estate.
