Almond Tree Building – Prime Main Street Location in Playas del Coco

THE PROPERTY

Known locally as The Almond Tree Building, this mixed-use property occupies one of the most visible and central locations in Playas del Coco, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It sits directly across from the Pacifico community and Pacifico Retail Village, along the main road leading into town, the same route most visitors and residents take when arriving in Coco. Just 1 km (less than half a mile) from the beach, the property offers excellent walkability to restaurants, shops, and daily services.

Set on a 0.33-acre (14,478 sq. ft. / 1,345 m²) lot, the property features 15 rental units that combine commercial spaces and apartments. Current tenants include well-established local businesses such as Bacco, a liquor store offering a large selection of wines, liquors, and imported spirits; Baccomer, a lively bar-restaurant known for its variety of dishes including salads, soups, seafood, pizzas, and more—a favorite gathering spot for both locals and visitors; and Simbiosis Bistro, a charming café serving specialty coffee, fresh juices, and delicious breakfast and lunch options.

Other long-standing tenants include a barber shop, tourist office, and professional services. Several of the tenants have operated in the building for 4, 6, and even over 10 years, reflecting the property’s consistent occupancy and reliable rental base.

The site features over 600 m² (6,460 sq. ft.) of built area across one- and two-story structures, with access from both the main road and a secondary right-of-way (servidumbre de paso). This dual frontage provides excellent visibility and convenient access for tenants and visitors.

The Almond Tree Building produces a healthy profit from consistent rentals and is simple to manage, with local support available for maintenance and coordination as needed. The location’s success is reinforced by its prime position right across the street from the Pacifico master-planned community, ensuring steady pedestrian and vehicle traffic throughout the year. Additional commercial spaces are available and could accommodate retail, wellness, or service-oriented businesses.

With its main-street exposure, long-term tenants, and versatile mix of commercial and residential spaces, The Almond Tree Building represents a solid, established investment opportunity in the heart of Playas del Coco’s thriving commercial corridor.
