Punta Pacifica Realty Named Master Broker for Wanders & Yoo

Punta Pacifica Realty (PPR) has been named the master broker for Wanders & Yoo, the visionary residential project under construction in the heart of Panama City.

The two-tower development in downtown Panama City is a collaboration of world-renowned designer Marcel Wanders and YOO, the international project design firm created by entrepreneur John Hitchcox and designer Philippe Starck. The developer is Durex Property Group, the organization which built and manages the successful Yoo Panama, as well as several other landmark Panama developments.

“We are honored to be working with these top-quality professionals,” said Duncan McGowan, president of PPR. “Wanders & Yoo creates a new benchmark for luxury living in Panama City and represents an incredible new residential concept in Panama.”

Strategically positioned in the centrally located neighborhood of Marbella, Wanders & Yoo is a vertical garden oasis, designed around the spirit of nature. Wanders & Yoo is where “nature and architecture meet,” with lush landscaping and spectacular views from every apartment. Designed as a perfect Panama home with 5-star amenities, including multiple pools, a designer spa, gym, sky lounge, restaurants, and full concierge services.

“The combination of famous international design, serviced amenities and consistent quality doesn’t exist in Panama City,” said Budy Attie, President of Durex Property Group. “We believe PPR is the perfect partner to connect the project with a discerning international clientele.”

The YOO Panama, delivered in 2013, has been one of the most successful sales and rental projects in Panama, with popular restaurants and social areas. Like the YOO Panama, Durex will continue to manage Wanders & Yoo after completion.

“As developers, we can maintain and operate the building more efficiently and provide better service,” Attie said. “By staying involved, it guarantees a level of service in the building.” PPR will offer limited-time pricing on select units, with apartments ranging from 141-square-meter 2-bedrooms to 167-square-meter 3-bedrooms – all with a designer Yoo flair.

“ Wanders & Yoo is raising the bar for Panama City, and we are looking forward to sharing the opportunity with our clients,” said Jeff Barton, managing director of PPR.
