Spanish Colonial Treasure in the Heart of Ponce

Step into history with this Spanish Colonial jewel built in 1897, protected by the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, and located just steps from Ponce’s iconic landmarks, Casa de Bombas and Parque Las Delicias. This rare offering combines two separate deeds: a majestic historic building and an adjoining 500 m² lot, providing unparalleled potential for development in the cultural capital of Puerto Rico.

The two-level historic structure, although damaged by fire in 2023, still retains its architectural character and invites a visionary transformation. Its generous layout allows for the development of a boutique hotel with up to 10 rooms and 2 commercial spaces, complete with a large swimming pool and expansive rear patio, perfect for creating inviting social areas, al fresco dining, or vibrant entertainment spaces.

The adjoining lot enhances the project’s potential, offering space for parking or an additional 15–20 rooms, paving the way for a boutique hotel concept of 25–30 rooms total, seamlessly blending history with modern hospitality.

This project also benefits from the opportunity to access Tourism Incentives under Act 60, enabling investors to recover up to 40% of their total investment. Preliminary plans and designs are available, making it easier for investors to envision the project’s full potential.

Whether imagined as a flagship boutique hotel, a cultural hospitality project, or a mixed-use property with commercial storefronts, Calle Marina 9181 offers a blank canvas in an exceptional location. The property is being sold AS IS – WHERE IS, cash only, with the possibility of seller financing with 50% down payment.

Ponce, known as “La Perla del Sur,” is the second largest city in Puerto Rico, celebrated for its museums, music, architecture, and vibrant cultural life. The location places future guests within walking distance of the city’s main attractions, while still offering privacy and space for a transformative development.

This is more than a property—it’s a chance to restore a piece of Puerto Rico’s history and turn it into a world-class tourism destination.
