Activity: construction
Date of creation: 1994
This is an entirely Salvadoran construction company
that was born in 1994. Its goal is to answer to human
dignity and social quality, which is why it redefined
the housing planning concept in the country with the
construction of closed housing projects that include
privacy, security and recreation.
The experience of over a decade has allowed them
to be more efficient, creative and innovative in the
design of projects and in projects themselves.
Salazar Romero has built thousands of homes in
different towns and cities of El Salvador,in locations
such as Metapan, Quezaltepeque, Zacatecoluca
and San Vicente. The Mega-Project, called “Ciudad
Real” in Santa Ana consists of over 10,000 units in
different segments. It is categorized as “The First
Planned City in El Salvador”.
“We are proud to deliver social and economic
development to the cities where we continue to
be present.”

Activity: Real estate
Date of creation: 1940
The origins of Urbanica go back to the family
company Dueñas Hermanos, active in the agriculture
sector in the 40’s, specifically in coffee.They were
famous for having the largest coffee plantation in
San Salvador: “El Espino”. In the 80’s there was
a State expropriation of the 1200 city-blocks of
land that made up “El Espino”. The Dueñas family
recovered 200 city-blocks, classified as urban land.
This is the reason why in the 90’s the family entered
the real estate development field with a general plan
for the area.
Among the first things done were the construction of
avenues and streets for urban use. Currently it is a
mixed use complex where several shopping malls,
hotels, convention centers and offices are located.
Part of Urbanica is the exclusive shopping mall “La
Gran Via”, a lifestyle mall with a pedestrian format
and 78 residential plots decorated in a Spanish style
with access by controlled gates for the upper-middle
class economic sector.
Urbanica is characterized by its low residential
density with big green areas and low circulation
during rush hours; it is characterized by its Bostonian
style, which gives the impression of being in a
different environment than what the country offers
architecturally. This is the reason why Urbanica is a
member of the U.S. Green Building Council and has
earned its certification by building unique real estate.
To obtain these magnificent architectural results,
national and international specialists participate in
its development projects.
One of the last residential developments is Portal
La Rivera, a condominium also located in the El
Espino district that has everything that characterizes
Urbanica: privileged location, accessibility to
important roads, eco-friendlyenvironment withcentral
common areas, exclusive American atmosphere,
design and security, thanks to the bridge control
access and perimeter walls which allow families to
feel totally free.
Urbanica co-manages the Marriott Courtyard Hotel
that is located in the El Espino District and has great
plans to develop the hotel sector with new residential
projects on the Salvadoran coast.
