Whether you're expanding your real estate investment portfolio or searching for an income-producing property in Costa Rica, this commercial unit is worth exploring.

Prime Commercial Location in Playa Carmen, Santa Teresa

Location is one of the most important considerations when purchasing commercial real estate, and this property has plenty to offer.

Situated in Playa Carmen, where Santa Teresa and Mal País meet, the retail unit benefits from a prominent position within an established commercial plaza.

The plaza sits along the main road, providing visibility and convenient access for residents, tourists, and businesses operating in the surrounding area.

Beautiful tropical gardens, mature palm trees, and inviting courtyard seating contribute to the relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes this part of Costa Rica so appealing.

The commercial plaza is home to a variety of established businesses, including:

Pharmacy
Real estate offices
Ice cream shop
Souvenir stores
Other retail and service businesses

The neighboring Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach adds another recognizable landmark to this convenient commercial location.

And with the beautiful beaches of Playa Carmen just a short walk away, the property combines commercial accessibility with the lifestyle appeal of Santa Teresa.

Income-Producing Commercial Property with an Existing Tenant

One of the most appealing features of this investment is that the retail unit is already leased to an established business.

The current Canadian tenant operates a successful business from the premises, with approximately two years remaining on the existing lease and an expressed interest in extending.

For a new owner, this offers several advantages:

An existing rental income stream from the time of purchase, subject to lease terms
No immediate need to search for a commercial tenant
An established business already occupying the space
The possibility of longer-term tenancy, subject to a future agreement
An opportunity to own commercial real estate without operating the business yourself

Rather than purchasing a vacant commercial unit and starting from scratch, buyers can acquire a property with an existing rental arrangement.

Rental income, lease conditions, and supporting documentation can be discussed with serious buyers.

Versatile Retail Space in an Established Commercial Plaza

The commercial unit offers a practical, open interior suitable for its current retail use and potentially other commercial purposes in the future.

Features include:

Open, flexible floor plan
Polished tile flooring
Recessed ceiling lighting
Built-in sink and counter area
Large storefront windows
Direct street-facing access
Convenient location within an established commercial plaza

The space is currently occupied and operating as a business, allowing investors to purchase an existing commercial rental property rather than an empty storefront.

Any future changes in use would be subject to the existing lease, applicable regulations, and required approvals.

Why Invest in Commercial Real Estate in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica?

Santa Teresa and neighboring Mal País have become internationally recognized for their beautiful beaches, surfing, restaurants, boutique hotels, wellness experiences, and laid-back coastal lifestyle.
