A New Chapter Begins for MOVA by B&B Italia in Panama City
This week, Panama City’s evolving urban core witnessed a unique milestone. Rather than a traditional groundbreaking, developers, designers, and guests gathered for a “Demolition Party” to mark the clearing of the final structure at the future site of MOVA by B&B Italia. This symbolic event officially clears the way for one of the capital’s most anticipated design-driven residential developments.
Located just a block from Soho Mall and adjacent to the upcoming regional headquarters of CAF (the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean), MOVA is perfectly positioned at the center of the financial district. The project is spearheading a new generation of developments that prioritize world-class architecture, walkability, and community-centric living.

During the event, Pacific Developers’ executives Alfredo and Eduardo Gateno shared their ambitious vision alongside Francesco Farina, CEO of B&B Italia. This landmark collaboration aims to introduce a level of Italian design sensibility and lifestyle-driven architecture rarely seen in Latin American real estate.
At its core, MOVA embraces the globally recognized philosophy of the “15-minute city.” The master plan is meticulously designed to integrate residential living, creative workspaces, and social areas, all anchored by a vibrant central plaza where daily life can unfold within a short walk.

Moments like this demolition are the quiet beginnings of profound urban evolution. For residents, expats, and the international community, the rise of MOVA signals a pivotal chapter for Panama City. By shifting focus toward pedestrian-friendly, highly curated urban spaces, the capital is actively aligning itself with the world’s most progressive cities. It proves that Panama is not just expanding its impressive skyline, but thoughtfully elevating its everyday quality of life to meet the highest global standards.
