The 2025 edition of the Latin American Real Estate Developers Summit (ELDI), organized by 4S Real Estate in partnership with Grupo SyG, was held in Panama under the theme "Differentiation that transforms cities."

ELDI provided a comprehensive experience featuring workshops, roundtables, and networking spaces, addressing current trends, best practices in Real Estate and architecture, the growing importance of niche products, and the need to deeply understand end users. Significant opportunities in specific, still underexplored segments were analyzed, highlighting the potential of highly specialized projects. Other key topics included the integration of technology and artificial intelligence, evolving business models, ESG criteria, green financing, and the importance of understanding new consumer generations, such as Generation Z, Centennials, and Generation Alpha.
The Studio had a prominent participation with two key sessions. Martín Gómez Platero, founder and CEO of the Studio, delivered the talk "Architecture and Real Estate as Drivers of Urban Transformation," emphasizing architecture's role in creating sustainable cities and generating value for communities. Santiago Pérez, International Business Development Manager, led the workshop "New Frontiers in Real Estate: Driving Innovation," exploring emerging trends and innovative opportunities within the sector.

Simultaneously, the tenth edition of the Latin American Real Estate Development Awards (LADI) took place, recognizing the region's best projects in categories such as design, planning, marketing, and development. The Studio was honored in the Masterplan category for Distrito 52 and Mixed-Use for Distrito El Globo, both selected as finalists among more than 30 entries and ranked within the top three.
Panama, the event's host country, stands out as one of Latin America's most dynamic Real Estate markets, driven by its economic stability, strategic location, and competitive advantages. According to ECLAC, the country has recorded significant growth in foreign direct investment since 2022, while the World Bank forecasts sustained economic growth through 2025. Panama's dollarized economy, robust international banking sector, and attractive fiscal incentives further strengthen global investor confidence, consolidating the country as a key regional hub.
Strategic differentiation, innovation, and a comprehensive vision of urban development were the central themes of ELDI 2025, outlining the future of the sector and promoting projects that not only excel commercially but also positively impact cities and communities across the continent.
