Short answer.<\/strong> Grupo Los Pueblos, which now markets its homes under the GLP Properties brand, is a Panamanian real estate developer founded in 1985 by the Alem\u00e1n family. It is the company behind Albrook Mall, Ocean Reef Islands, Santa Mar\u00eda and Playa Caracol, and it is currently selling projects such as Bosco di Santa Mar\u00eda, Oceana, The Tides and Armon\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One company, two names<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People search for us under two different names, and that is understandable: they are the same company. Grupo Los Pueblos, S.A. is the legal name and the brand the group has used in Panama since the 1980s. GLP Properties is the name we use today for our residential, beach and investment projects, especially with international buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GLP Properties is part of Grupo Los Pueblos. Whether you see “GLP”, “GLP Panama”, “Grupo Los Pueblos” or “GLP Properties” on an ad, a billboard or a contract, it is the same organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our history in seven dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Alem\u00e1n family founded Grupo Los Pueblos in 1985 with a clear goal: to make Panama an internationally attractive destination and to professionalize real estate development in the country. The name comes from its first major retail project, the Los Pueblos shopping center in Tocumen, conceived in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the hardest moments came in 1988, when Panama’s banks closed during the political crisis. The group kept operating thanks to the credit it had built in the local market, a story the founder himself told Estrategia & Negocios magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Who is behind the company<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    GLP is a family-owned company with an identifiable leadership team, something worth checking with any developer before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
