Commercial Costa Rica Real Estate

There is commercial real estate for anyone thinking of starting a retail business or looking for office space. Office space in and around San Jose can be leased from anywhere between $7 to $20 per square meter, depending on the location. Downtown San Jose has outgrown itself.

The majority of office space is now found west of the city. More and more tenants are moving into new buildings on the outskirts of town. The new Torre Mercedes and Centro Colón are huge office buildings west of downtown. Oficentro is a huge complex of 5 office buildings, to the south of Sabana Park. About 5 minutes to the west is Plaza Roble located next to the Multiplaza Mall. In Santa Ana, the newly constructed Plaza Forum Center has abundant office space.

Many large homes in the Rohrmoser area have been turned into businesses because of the lack of adequate space and office facilities in San Jose. All of the growth towards the west has happened because many Costa Rican landlords have not refurbished buildings in the downtown area.
