The director of the Oficina de Planificación del Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (OPAMSS), Luis Rodríguez, informed that the entity has received five projects for buildings of more than 35 stories, which are in the process of design and study. These buildings represent an investment of approximately US$750 million and are part of the boost to urban development in the capital.

According to Rodríguez, these projects have been possible thanks to the tax incentives approved by the Legislative Assembly in September 2024, aimed at promoting the construction of skyscrapers in the country. The measure has generated interest from both domestic and foreign investors, which has accelerated the growth of the real estate sector.

The official explained that at the end of 2024, two buildings were confirmed, one with foreign investment and the other with salvadoran capital. In january 2025, two more were added under the same capital distribution, and recently a fifth project backed by the government was announced, thus consolidating the interest in vertical development in San Salvador.
These projects mark a milestone in the transformation of the capital’s urban landscape and reflect the dynamism of the Salvadoran real estate sector. With significant investment and government backing, high-rise construction promises to modernize the city’s infrastructure and attract new economic opportunities.
