A compromise towards nature

Costa Developers acquired since the beginning a compromise towards nature. We recognize that the environmental protection can not be separated from developing. We want to guarantee quality of life to the property owners, and the neighboring communities; therefore, we have implemented environmental planning techniques in our developments.  The construction methods we promote and use are environmentally friendly.

Land planning

Increasing urbanization impacts the natural habits and the quality of water; therefore, both of our projects are low density coastal communities that blend with the surroundings.  In accordance with the Costa Rican laws and our projections, property owners can only build on a certain percentage of their land. This prevents the endangering of the native species and permits the enjoyment of the natures and astounding views. 

We are using the city water from Tárcoles and Parrita to supply both communities; this water is 100% drinkable.  Costa Developers joined with the local governments of Parrita and Tárcoles in a joint effort to improve and modernize the water systems in order to provide the best service and to assure the conservation of the natural springs from where the water comes from. 

Our homes

We are in the process of building homes on Costa Montaña Estates. Among their building specifications we recommend the use of the “F.A.F.A single sewer system”.  It was designed by the INTITUTO TECNOLOGICO DE COSTA RICA (Technological Institute of Costa Rica). This system has been approved by the Health Department of Costa Rica.

The initials F.A.F.A stand for “Anaerobic Filter of Ascendant Fluids”. It is a very efficient system that carries the solid and liquid wastes through a clean-up process with an efficiency of 97%. The cleaned water is carried through drainage and is reabsorbed by the ground.  Some of the advantages of this system are:

  • - environment friendly
  • - it is designed to hold major changes of loads
  • - it does not require a lot of maintenance
  • - easy to clean

Environment protection: home-owners association

Both communities have a Home-owners Association that shall implement recycling programs and shall control that the property owners take care the environment. Deforestation must be prevented, no land movements that alter the environment significantly may be made, without limiting the required permits; and the protection and conservation of existing flora and fauna must be taken care of.
