The Costa del Lago Commercial Area, a New Centrality That Transforms the East of the Country

With more than five hectares designed to integrate commerce, services, education, and urban life, the Raíces Real Estate project is consolidating itself as a new planned development hub that drives the transformation of Alto Paraná.

With a surface area of over five hectares, the new Commercial Area was designed to become the main hub for services, education, and social life in the region. Its objective is to boost the economic growth of the immediate surroundings while offering residents and visitors a complete urban experience, underpinned by accessibility, safety, and quality.

In this first phase, the development includes the development of eight commercial lots, ranging in area from 960 to over 3,000 square meters. These spaces are intended for the installation of retail stores, convenience stores, restaurants, and gas stations, creating a functional base that meets the community's daily needs and promotes economic activity within the neighborhood and its surrounding area.

In a second phase, Raíces Real Estate plans to incorporate corporate spaces, educational areas, health centers, and ample parking areas, thus completing a balanced urban fabric that supports Hernandarias's growth and elevates the region's service standards.

The development of the area will be carried out over an estimated 48 months, although final progress will depend on the pace of construction by each investor or owner within the complex. In this first phase, the lots will be available exclusively for sale, with no direct leasing options from the developer. However, buyers will have full freedom to use their spaces for rent in the future, encouraging the diversification of commercial uses.

The new commercial center does not emerge as a standalone project, but rather as a natural extension of Costa del Lago's comprehensive concept, which combines nature, high-level infrastructure, and a lifestyle based on everyday experience. The central idea is to strengthen the gated community's ecosystem, offering proximity to essential products and services while remaining in harmony with the residential environment.

In this way, residents will be able to enjoy the convenience of having shops, restaurants, and services just minutes from their homes, while maintaining the safety, urban design, and construction quality that distinguish the Raíces Real Estate brand. The balance between commercial and residential spaces will enhance the living experience within the neighborhood, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Located on Route PY07, also known as the Export Corridor, Costa del Lago occupies a strategic position within the Alto Paraná expansion axis. This privileged location makes the new commercial area a key point for regional economic integration, with direct connections to the department's main logistics and urban corridors.

The project seeks to attract both local SMEs and established commercial operators, creating a mixed environment that fosters complementary services and business development. This openness to diverse investment profiles will boost commercial flow and enhance Hernandarias' competitiveness compared to other urban centers in the eastern part of the country.

The launch of the commercial area represents the natural evolution of a project born with a comprehensive urban vision. From its inception, Costa del Lago was conceived as a development that would combine residential living, nature, and waterfront experiences, integrating contemporary architecture and a unique landscape.

Its main icon, a 2.9-hectare crystalline lagoon surrounded by white-sand beaches, symbolizes the spirit of the project: to create a space where quality living, well-being, and connection with nature are enjoyed 365 days a year. Over time, the project has established itself as one of the most emblematic gated communities in Alto Paraná, combining first-class infrastructure, security, and a growing community that today sees in this new milestone an opportunity to continue expanding.

With the Commercial Area, Raíces Real Estate not only expands the scope of its flagship project in Hernandarias, but also promotes the creation of a new planned urban axis, designed to meet the real needs of the population. The addition of shops, offices, educational institutions, and basic services will transform the dynamics of the area, generating employment, investment, and increased economic activity.

This step also responds to a growing trend in the Paraguayan market: the consolidation of multifunctional gated communities, which integrate housing, services, and recreation in a single environment, reducing commutes and promoting more efficient and sustainable living.

With more than 33,000 clients, 35 million square meters of development, and 300 real estate projects in more than 60 municipalities across the country, Raíces Real Estate is positioned as one of the leading companies in the sector. Its specialization in large-scale gated communities—more than 20 developments totaling 15 million square meters—has helped redefine the urban growth model in Paraguay.

The company is part of the Paraguay Global Compact, a United Nations initiative that promotes sustainable business practices, and is distinguished by an ethical, innovative, and responsible approach in all its operations. These values are reflected in each of its projects, reaffirming its commitment to quality, transparency, and building communities that transcend time.
