P.05 · Masterplan & Phasing

A river-first plan, built to last.

Hakan's masterplan is designed around a clear thesis: nature as infrastructure. The site is organized around rivers within the property and a protected river-park corridor that anchors identity, resilience and long-term value.

Masterplan principles

Six decisions that shape every other.

01Nature

River-first planning

Protected riparian buffers, ecological corridors, trails and public spaces structured around the river system.

02Resilience

Designed for risk

Critical assets and buildable terraces sited outside flood-risk zones — conservative setbacks, natural drainage.

03Campus

Compact core

Wellness, education and CIT cluster to maximize year-round activation, walkability and operational efficiency.

04Districts

Independent delivery

Campus, residential clusters, services, conservation and infrastructure — each operated with minimal dependencies.

05Mobility

Clear hierarchy

Multiple access points, separated construction/service routes, and pedestrian, cycling and vehicle circulation.

06Digital

Embedded backbone

Water strategy, power/EV, telecom and IoT/IT-OT layers planned inside the masterplan — not added later.

Bamboo sanctuary
Phasing strategy

Activate first, then scale.

Early phases validate demand through lightweight activation — programming, the Wellness MVP, CIT-lite, events, pre-leasing — before major CAPEX is committed.

What the masterplan delivers
  • Land-use and district map with environmental buffers and buildable areas.
  • Phased infrastructure plan: access, utilities, water, digital backbone.
  • Public realm strategy centered on the river park.
  • Design and operating standards that protect long-term performance.

Permitting Roadmap

Local pathway, national approvals.

Municipal — Concejo Municipal de Distrito de Cóbano, Puntarenas

Hakan's local permitting pathway is anchored in Cóbano, Puntarenas, with municipal approvals through the Concejo Municipal de Distrito de Cóbano.

National Technical Approvals

National approvals include SETENA (environmental impact), CFIA (construction), MINAE (natural resources), Ministry of Health, Fire Department (Bomberos), water authorities (ASADA / AyA) and utility providers as applicable to each phase.

Stage-Gated Approach

Permitting is integrated into the stage-gate model — G1 Diligence confirms the regulatory pathway before G2 Masterplan commits to design. No capital is deployed ahead of permit clarity.
