PH Pradera

PH Pradera is a single residential tower in Altos del Golf, Panama City, developed by Ideas Developers and standing complete. Thirty-nine of its titles are apartments; the fortieth belongs to the horizontal-property regime itself, covering the common areas rather than a home.

A building of 39 units is a small community by tower standards. The pool and the gym are carried by those thirty-nine households and nobody else, the assembly that decides on them fits in one room, and the neighbour two floors up tends to be someone with a name attached.

The tower faces Parque Omar, which puts trees across the way instead of another façade — the part of an address that the next building up the street cannot copy. Taken together, it reads as a city tower for people who would rather not live in a crowd.
