Isthmus of Panama, the Central American country with respect to incoming real estate tours, worldwide investors are interested in the hottest real estate markets within the hemisphere. North American boomers are in the mainstream, but an increasing number of Europeans are raising new projects for acquiring properties.

Panama offers urban living, with Atlantic and Pacific beaches, tropical forests and coffee-growing moorlands. Connecting the Americas and narrowly separating the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Panama has extensive international crossroad for travelers and traders, fauna, flora and gold. Simon Bolivar once said that if the world had to decide on a capital, Panama would be the right choice.

The capital's skyline already is a forest of spectacular skyscrapers. Building permits jumped 91% previous year with new ventures announced almost every day.

Two projects still being designed - Ice Tower and Palacio de la Bahía - are scuffling to turn out to be the tallest in Latin America. Palacio de la Bahía is being constructed by the Olloqui Group of Spain, announced that the tower has 78 floors whereas The Ice Tower has 104 floors. Construction prices in such condos are estimated to be above $200,000, with top-floor apartments, which are likely to have views of both oceans in Panama.

Other Europeans also have high- end developments. A French designer is building Azueros, luxury beachfront villas on the Azuero Peninsula.

"A fabulous market will be Europe, all over Europe," Trump predicted in an interview. "Panama is merely three hours from Miami, the buildings are extraordinary and the most important of all are the 2 oceans."
