At Grupo Ideas Panamá, our goal is to create urban designs and master plans that help bring our clients' vision to life. We are specialized in the development of custom urban plans, designed taking into account the climate, culture and customs of Panama.
Our process begins with understanding the client's needs, creating a plan based on their requirements and incorporating our architectural expertise to produce innovative solutions. As experienced architects in Panama, we work closely with local authorities and regulatory bodies to ensure that each project complies with the latest building standards.
Our portfolio showcases projects ranging from luxury developments and apartment complexes to sustainable office spaces and leisure facilities. Our team uses its extensive knowledge of modern architectural trends, materials and design software programs to develop buildings that meet safety standards while remaining aesthetically pleasing. We take into account various criteria, such as eco-friendly designs, durability against natural elements such as humidity and strong winds, maximizing the use of space and orientation to sunlight, when developing an optimal master plan for our customers.
Leveraging advanced technology, such as 3D renderings, our design teams can present multiple solutions quickly so that our clients have ample opportunity to fully understand the planned project. With more than 10 years of experience offering superior service in different sectors of the Panamanian market, Grupo Ideas Panamá is prepared to offer you a tailored plan for your next project.

"Approval of Plans, Land Use Allocation and Planning Schemes, Terrace and Infrastructure Plans."
The Urban Design service covers the preparation of Master Plans with their respective zoning that varies depending on the geographical location where they are located. Once the Master Plan or Master Plan is ready, a Territorial Planning Scheme or EOT is prepared that allows us to request from MIVIOT the regulations that we propose in the Conceptual Design.
Finally, when our EOT is approved, we move on to develop the Urban Preliminary Project, in these sets of plans to our Master Plan, directions and coordinates are added and it is approved in the MIVIOT single window. And so we arrive at the last phase of Urban Design, which are the infrastructure plans, where the cuts and fills of our project are defined, the electrical, rainwater and sanitary infrastructure is developed, in addition to other important aspects for an urban project. The Infrastructure Plans as well as the Preliminary Project and Planning Scheme must be approved by the corresponding institution.
