The Executive Director of the Oficina de Planificación del Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (COAMSS-OPAMSS), Luis Rodríguez, informed that the investment projection for 2025 amounts to US$8,036 million, highlighting that this achievement would not have been possible without the security climate that is being experienced thanks to the strategies of the Government of El Salvador.
During his interview on Radio YSKL, Rodríguez pointed out that this environment has allowed the recovery of territories and the attraction of projects such as apartment towers in areas such as Apopa.
“We closed last year with US$2.12 billion in investment projects, and this year the projected figure far exceeds that mark. Security has made it easier for us to talk not only about redevelopment, but also about a territorial transformation driven by private investment”, said Rodríguez.
He explained that 49% of the projects planned for the San Salvador Metropolitan Area (AMSS) are for residential buildings, reflecting the high demand in this sector. In addition, 23% of the investment will go to commerce and services, 11% to logistics, 9% to storage and distribution, and 4% to mixed-use projects.
Rodriguez also highlighted that there are currently 170 active projects in the municipalities of La Libertad Este and La Libertad Costa, where the focus is on balancing residential development with essential services such as hospitals, pharmacies and schools. “We analyze the needs based on the projected population in each area to ensure that growth is sustainable”, he explained.
With a promising outlook, COAMSS-OPAMSS is working on drawing up investment intention maps, aiming at an integral territorial development that benefits both the communities and the private sector.
