Paseo del Mar – Commercial Plaza Coming to Punta Cana Community

A property developer with more than a decade of experience, Fabio La Rosa leads a team of experienced architects, engineers, and administrators as the owner of NOVAL. Fabio La Rosa’s company handles the construction and development of numerous commercial and residential projects in the Dominion Republic. Recent properties include the construction of the Paseo del Mar commercial plaza in Punta Cana. 

Paseo del Mar will consist of 10 commercial spaces and feature a terrace, spacious hallways, customer bathrooms, and a 39-vehicle parking lot upon completion. The two-story building gives retailers the option of renting out space on either the ground or second floor, with local markets setting the approximate rental rates. Additionally, the plaza will serve as an excellent investment opportunity in a community with a growing population. 

The plaza lies within a vibrant Punta Cana community known for its stunning beaches and picturesque setting, enabling it to appeal to the tourism industry through exceptional value and affordability. Surrounded by condo apartments, small hotels, and expanding residential developments, the plaza will also meet the high demand of local and foreign markets in regards to recreational and commercial services.

Dominican Republic’s Cacao Growing Traditions

As head of Grupo Noval, Fabio La Rosa has developed thousands of apartments and luxury villas in premier coastal areas of the Dominican Republic, including Bávaro and Punta Cana. Attracting an international clientele for Noval properties, Fabio La Rosa’s efforts provide a vital contribution to an economy traditionally known for products such as chocolate and coffee. 

A Serious Eats article brought focus to the culinary cocoa traditions in the Dominican Republic, which do not center on highly refined chocolates that require extensive refrigeration and air conditioning to properly store. Instead, cocoa consumption is primarily as a beverage, with the cocoa beans either fermented or left unfermented prior to drying and roasting. 

After a coarse grinding process, sugar and flavorings such as pepper and vanilla are added and the ground cocoa is molded into various shapes for retail sale. The cocoa in Dominican Republic is traditionally light in consistency and sweetened, with cinnamon added as well.
