There are events that mark important moments and leave their mark on people\u2019s lives. Just as a person celebrates life milestones such as a birth, a birthday, and spiritual ceremonies. Real estate projects also celebrate milestones that mark their history and fill everyone with memories. The groundbreaking ceremony is one of these milestones, and it was a masterful event. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s been a month since that memorable moment, and we want to tell you about what we experienced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like any important event, the Grupo Colonias team had spent a long time planning every detail to ensure everything was perfect. A great deal of effort, dedication, and heart had been put into making the event memorable for all the guests. We wanted to throw a celebration that was different and true to Porta Norte\u2019s style, reflecting the project\u2019s personality and vibe. <\/p>\n

At 7:30 a.m., the first guests began to arrive, even tho the invitation said the event started at 8:00 a.m. It was a surprise to us because, as Panamanians know, punctuality isn\u2019t something that\u2019s common in our culture. We then had the pleasure of chatting and mingling with the guests before the event formally began. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Upon arriving, the reaction was unanimous: \u201cHey, I got here in under 15 minutes!\u201d \u201cI thot the project was farther away, and I got here super fast!\u201d \u201cThis is way closer than I expected!\u201d \u201cIt didn\u2019t take me any time at all, and I left super early thinking it was going to be a much longer trip!\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Everyone was amazed at how easy and quick it was to get to Porta Norte.

The event was held in an open-sided covered structure so that everyone could appreciate the scale of the construction. We greeted everyone with a Panama hat to help them get into character (we had 150 and ran out before the speeches even began\u2014everyone wanted their own Panama hat!). We also had a Lavazza coffee station, a mixologist serving refreshing drinks, a cart with Lung Fung\u2019s iconic Chinese breakfast, and, to create the urban vibe we want to develop, a food truck serving freshly made Panamanian breakfast bites for everyone\u2019s enjoyment. <\/p>\n

For Grupo Colonias, Ciudad Porta Norte represents an evolution in the history of Panama City, where the first city was what we now know as Panam\u00e1 Viejo. Then the city moved to where the Casco Antiguo is, and today we\u2019re moving it to Ciudad Porta Norte. With this, we will make the city evolve once again, reviving those bygone values and the sense of neighborhood and community among residents thru the concept of New Urbanism that guides the project. We put pedestrians first, developing multiple public spaces and creating a diverse, mixed-use city with a close connection to nature. That\u2019s why we call Porta Norte \u201cThe New Casco Viejo.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To convey this idea, we partnered for this event with Diego de Obald\u00eda\u2014creator of the Panamanian musical 1903\u2014who was very excited about the project when we shared our concept, since we share the vision of highlighting Panama\u2019s legacy. Diego gave a few words at the beginning of the ceremony, along with a video in which he spoke about his support for the project. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Throughout the event, we had the virtual presence of Mar\u00eda Ossa de Amador, Manuel Amador Guerrero, and Philippe Bunau-Varilla, who invited people to learn more about this project that reminds them of the values and feelings they experienced at the birth of our nation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In Ciudad Porta Norte, we recognize that it is important to revive neighborhood life. That which has been lost over the years.

Then, the most excellent President of the Republic of Panama, Laurentino Cortizo Cohen, delivered a few heartfelt words:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

We are here today to formally launch a project that, in effect, is different, very different. This is a project that, I have no doubt, will be successful and will serve as a benchmark not only for Panama but for the entire region.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

After President Laurentino Cortizo\u2019s remarks, they were invited to step up to the podium, where a button was connected directly to the concrete truck. The President gave us the honor of starting the truck, which then began pouring concrete, thus formally launching the construction of the streets in Ciudad Porta Norte. <\/p>\n

To reach this point in the project\u2019s progress, we have moved 1.2 million cubic meters\u2014the same amount of earth that was moved to build the Amador Causeway. We have also buried the sanitary, stormwater, potable water, electricity, and communications networks. Now, with this first concrete pour comes everything that will be visible at a glance: the streets with their bike lanes, enormous sidewalks, plazas, and lush trees. Now comes the good part, the part you can enjoy. <\/p>\n

After the ceremony ended, you could see the enthusiasm and joy of the people. Ciudad Porta Norte is a unique project that lifts the spirits of everyone who hears about it.

Your Excellency President Laurentino Cortizo, Your Excellencies Ministers, honorable authorities, friends, partners, colleagues, dear family, neighbors. Thank you for joining us. <\/div>\n
Today, February 13, 2020, is just another day in the lives of Panamanians. Just a moment in the history of our homeland. For many of those present, this is a decisive moment to join forces, as our beloved President says, in consolidating Panama Norte, the capital\u2019s new development hub. I\u2019m glad you came so you can see everything that\u2019s being done in North Panama. <\/div>\n
501 years ago, in 1519, Panama La Vieja was founded. Then, in 1673, the second founding of the City of Panama took place on a peninsula that offered good living conditions, firm ground, and ease of fortification\u2014what is now our beloved Casco Viejo. Now, in the midst of 2020, it\u2019s our turn to break ground on Ciudad Porta Norte under the modern concept of New Urbanism. <\/div>\n
Ciudad Porta Norte will not be a mere transit city like the first, nor walled like the second, but a city with open doors, as is the heart of Panamanians. It is an evolution of what the Casco Viejo is.<\/div>\n
In 1984, the real estate development company Grupo Colonias was founded, which I now lead with my son, Henry Faarup Humbert, who came up with the idea for this city. All the credit goes to him. I\u2019ll never forget it. It was after a trip I took to China in 2015. When I got back, I caught a virus and had a fever for 32 days. I was so sick that I went to the Mayo Clinic in the United States. During that time, Henry made the moves to structure the relationship with urban planner Andr\u00e9s Duany\u2014who is the father of New Urbanism\u2014in order to create this new concept. When I arrived, he talked with me. After a bit of resistance, he convinced me. So here we are because of that. <\/div>\n

Today I would also like to acknowledge that in 2002, Grupo Colonias was part of the founding of the Convivienda trade association. We believe in the Convivienda quality seal. We have always been aligned with your rules and regulations. <\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2014, I returned from representing my country as Panama\u2019s Ambassador to France. Upon arriving, we met with the beloved Rojas Pardini family and discussed doing something good for Panama thru a real estate development, and we joined forces. <\/em><\/p>\n

Together, we envisioned creating Porta Norte, a modern colonial city focused on enabling people to enjoy an active life, rich in culture, and closely connected to nature. We\u2019re used to connecting with nature and rivers two hours away, but here it\u2019s just ten minutes from the city center. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The launch of Ciudad Porta Norte took place at the American Trade Hotel in 2015. There, our beloved President was present. Who would have thot that after five years I would have the honor of breaking ground on Ciudad Porta Norte as President of the Republic. Right now you see the street, but sometimes people don\u2019t realize that to get to this point, the most difficult work has been done: all the earthmoving\u2014more than 1.2 million cubic meters of soil\u2014as well as the sanitary, stormwater, water supply, electrical, and communications pipelines. All of that is already installed. Now we\u2019re going to start the street and pour the first batch of concrete. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

In Ciudad Porta Norte, we recognize that it is important to revive neighborhood life. That which has been lost over the years. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to focus on creating public spaces that can be filled with life, since they are where a city\u2019s culture flourishes. That\u2019s why today we have the cast of the famous musical 1903 and its director, Diego de Obald\u00eda. This is to symbolize our commitment to culture, our history, and the Panamanian legacy. As you\u2019ve already noticed, we like to do things differently. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Ciudad Porta Norte will be built on a 262-hectare site. It will have an investment of approximately $500 million. There will be spaces for small, medium, and large developers to join this new community. They will be able to leave their mark. As in a true city, it needs to be filled with residential, educational, employment, institutional, healthcare, hospitality, and recreational components. In this regard, we are proud to announce that, when you least expect it, construction will begin on Market Plaza Porta Norte, a unique shopping center that will become an icon in the area.<\/p>\n\n

On the way to Porta Norte, they have been amazed by the construction of this new development hub. With the infrastructure and communities that provide quality of life to thousands of Panamanian families. Notable infrastructure projects include the majestic V\u00eda Panam\u00e1 Norte and the completion of Metro Line 2. This has facilitated mobility for thousands of Panamanians, helping them spend more time with their families, and has had a direct effect on reducing vehicular traffic. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Likewise, large-scale residential projects such as Paseo del Norte, Green City, Green Valley, La Foresta, and the Shahani family\u2019s future development are under construction. All of them have our beloved Panama Golf Club as their neighbor. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Moreover, without us even realizing it, this sector has become the country\u2019s most important educational hub, home to more than 15 schools of the highest academic caliber.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

Observing everything that is happening, I would like to address you, Mr. President. The Government of Panama is the country\u2019s greatest promoter, and its leadership rests with you. You are our leader; show us the way. Rest assured that the developers and entrepreneurs present here will follow you. <\/em><\/p>\n

We believe in Panama. We are investing to help this great train, which represents the country\u2019s development, pick up speed. Let\u2019s work together to guide it toward a better Panama for all. <\/em><\/p>\n

It is worth emphasizing the tremendous resilience that Panamanians possess. We must continue to be like this and remain the region\u2019s development hub. To that end, we must all think big. We must open our borders; we have to open them to good people. Let\u2019s revive our global position as the Hub of the Americas and as a tourism and retirement destination. Panama is a country that has it all. Believe me, it\u2019s true: people who come here don\u2019t want to leave. <\/em><\/p>\n

Good morning to each and every one of you. I did indeed bring some words\u2026 but I\u2019m not going to use them. First, I want to thank Henry Faarup, but especially your son, because when you were talking about him, you didn\u2019t realize it, but I was almost about to hand you a handkerchief because you were drooling. That pride, from father to son, I\u2019m sure is reciprocated from son to father as well. I congratulate you. Just like the Rojas Pardini family. We\u2019re talking about a combination of partners, friends, brothers, and I\u2019m sure others as well, who form a great brotherhood in a project of this nature.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

I am honored to be here as President of the Republic. I always refer to myself as the country\u2019s first worker, because these positions are temporary. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Indeed, five years ago\u2014I think it was in August\u2014Jos\u00e9 Alejandro Rojas said to me, \u201cHey, let\u2019s go to the American Trade; there\u2019s an interesting project,\u201d and I said, \u201cOkay, I want to go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s where I first learned about the concept of this project; even some designers and visionaries came and explained it, and it\u2019s completely different from anything we\u2019ve seen in this country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This is a completely different project. This isn\u2019t just coming from a president, because before I was president, our family\u2014my family, even I\u2014was the general manager of a construction-related company. It\u2019s still our company; I don\u2019t mean to be here promoting it, but it just so happens that this project, among those I was assigned, was one I visited frequently. This time I\u2019m just going to visit it now and take a tour that I promised Henry to see how the project is progressing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

This is a $500 million investment project; it\u2019s an extremely important project. As well as other projects that are about to issue the notice to proceed, such as Metro Line 3, a .4 billion project. There are no more claims. The claims ended yesterday. A bond of 10% of the project value was required, so it was difficult. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Projects like this are what show us Panamanians that this is indeed a great country, and we as Panamanians need to realize that this is a great country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It can\u2019t be that we\u2014in my particular case\u2014have been receiving CEOs from different companies, and when they sit at my desk in the presidency, I listen to them and they tell me about a great Panama. Of a Panama with great land and sea connectivity. About the benefits that Panama has. Of the decisions they made. Companies like Procter & Gamble expanding their operations in Panama and bringing executives from Puerto Rico, or Glaxo from Brazil, who are already here in Costa del Este. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

When you hear all these CEOs and investors, including their testimonies at Davos\u2014like the one from Nestl\u00e9 and others giving public accounts of what\u2019s here in Panama\u2014I say, \u201cWow!\u201d Indeed, this is a great country. This is a country where what we need are actions like those of Ciudad Porta Norte.<\/p>\n\n

We need a government that acts as a facilitator. It\u2019s not enough to just say it facilitates; it has to be demonstrated with actions. It\u2019s a government that, in seven months, has met many times with all the unions. With a president\u2014many of you have my cell phone\u2014and within a day or two, you know perfectly well that at 11 p.m. or 5:30 a.m., it\u2019s Nito Cortizo who answers, not some assistant; it\u2019s Nito Cortizo. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

A government, because Henry was clear, shows the way. The path is to be a facilitator, to be willing to ask them, \u201cWhat do you need?\u201d But make sure it\u2019s done right. It\u2019s a government that tells those coming from abroad and those already here, “NOTHING UNDER THE TABLE!” or “EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE!” <\/em><\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why today, since yesterday, we have the amendment to the reform of the Public Procurement Law, which I\u2019ve been following closely. I\u2019ve spent between five and six hours on that reform. It\u2019s already in the Assembly. Among the changes is that the free-for-all of complaints is over. No more indefinite claims. Only two claims, and on the second one a bond of 10% of the contract value. We can\u2019t tolerate the lax handling of claims at the expense of the public, like what\u2019s happening with the Col\u00f3n prison\u2014more than 1,080 days behind schedule since the first bidding process\u2014or the children\u2019s hospital, etc., etc., etc. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

The playing field must be level for everyone: business and society. So I end by saying to you: I am honored by your presence, by your invitation, and by your effort and perseverance. It was five years ago. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

We are here today to formally launch a project that, in effect, is different, very different. This is a project that, I have no doubt, will be successful and will serve as a benchmark not only for Panama but for the entire region. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I congratulate you and you can count on the government of Nito Cortizo to be an ally of good investments.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Thanks.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
