With a proposal that combines contemporary design, functionality, and a sense of community, Singular Desarrollos launches Mova, its first project in Paraguay, aiming to consolidate Recoleta, a growing residential hub.

With the formal start of construction on the Mova Building, Chilean developer Singular marks its official entry into the Paraguayan market with an architectural proposal that seeks to redefine the concept of urban housing in Asunción. The event, which brought together company executives, clients, partners, and representatives of the renowned construction firm Benítez Bittar, symbolizes the beginning of a strategic commitment that combines international experience, local sensitivity, and a clear focus on the premium segment of the real estate market.
Singular Desarrollos is no stranger to the city-building business. With over 20 years of experience in the Chilean market and more than 30 completed projects, its launch in Paraguay is the result of a careful assessment of the country's potential for high-standard real estate development.
Paraguay is emerging as an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investment, especially in the real estate sector. Macroeconomic stability, low inflation, a strong currency, and one of the most competitive tax rates in the region are just some of the factors Singular considers differentiating. Added to this is a market that, in the words of its CEO, Moshe Apt, is reminiscent in many ways of Chile 25 years ago, giving a comparative advantage to those who have already taken that path.
The choice of site was no coincidence. Recoleta, and in particular the block bordered by Dugarty and Cruz del Chaco, was selected after a detailed analysis of recent urban growth. The neighborhood, despite being perfectly connected to the rest of the city, still retains a sense of neighborhood life, with bars, restaurants, and pedestrian traffic.
The Mova building was conceived to blend into this environment with contemporary, clean, elegant, and functional architecture. The proposal is aimed at an audience that values aesthetics, but also demands practicality, spaciousness, and spaces that allow for a life more connected to the urban environment. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, modern layouts, and high-quality materials are some of the elements that define the architectural proposal. But beyond the construction details, the project responds to a broader vision: to redefine the way we inhabit the city in the 21st century.
For Singular, the new generations are transforming the way we live. Today, common spaces, community interaction, and the ability to combine work and personal life within the same setting are fundamental aspects when choosing a home. In this sense, Mova offers a comprehensive residential experience, where amenities are not just a decorative accessory, but an essential part of the living experience.
The building's upper floor was designed as a space for meeting and relaxing. It houses an infinity pool, a Zen area with a Jacuzzi, a sauna, and changing rooms, a fully equipped gym, and a large indoor and outdoor barbecue area with a grill, a bar, and lounge areas that promote sociability among neighbors. On the first floor, the community concept is reinforced with a coworking space, adapted to the needs of remote work and new work dynamics. The ground floor and basements incorporate services that reflect contemporary lifestyles: a package delivery area, shared laundry areas, and electric vehicle charging stations.
As for the residential units, the building offers studio apartments measuring 39 m², one-bedroom apartments measuring 50 m², and two-bedroom units measuring 94 m². All apartments feature integrated kitchens, balconies with barbecue grills, and high-quality finishes. The project is designed for young professionals, couples, and young families who value an active urban environment, but who also seek quality of life, security, and community.
The average price of units is around USD 1,600 per square meter, and the financing plans were designed with special attention to the profile of the Paraguayan buyer. There are two options: a short-term option, with 20 installments during construction, and a long-term option, which allows the unit to be financed in up to 60 installments with interest. This last option seeks to facilitate access without requiring large initial outlays, maintaining a balance between quality and affordability.
In terms of design, Mova is the result of a collaboration between local architects and Singular's central team in Santiago, Chile. The project combines elements such as exposed concrete, metal profiles, and carefully crafted volumes, giving the building a contemporary yet timeless feel. The intention is for Mova to integrate into the city not as a fashionable object, but as a lasting contribution to the urban landscape.
The project will be executed by the firm Benítez Bittar, with whom Singular established a strategic alliance based on shared values: a commitment to quality, construction efficiency, and a city vision that prioritizes sustainable development and urban integration. With 34 years of experience in Paraguay, Benítez Bittar represents a guarantee of local experience and technical excellence, key to a project that seeks to raise the standard of the residential segment in Asunción.
The completion of the construction is scheduled for April 2027, the date from which the gradual delivery of the units is projected. For Singular, this will not be an isolated project. The company's intention is to continue developing in Paraguay, with a long-term vision and the goal of becoming a relevant player in the local market. Although originally Chilean, the developer aims to consolidate its position as part of the Paraguayan real estate ecosystem, developing projects tailored to local residents and providing a vision enriched by international experience.
Mova is not simply a building. It's a declaration of principles about how the city can be better inhabited. It's an architecture that opens up to its surroundings, a proposal that understands new ways of living, working, and relating, and an invitation to think of housing not just as a product, but as a life experience. In a market that is consolidating and evolving, initiatives like this anticipate the profile of a new generation of residential projects—one that's more connected, more conscious, and more human.
