The location

Gran Central occupies about one hectare where Avenida Balboa meets the historic Avenida Central in Santa Ana, two blocks from Casco Viejo and across from Mercado San Felipe Neri. The Fish Market, the Cinta Costera waterfront and the 5 de Mayo metro station are within walking distance. The district is designed with Gehl as a car-free, walkable neighbourhood with more than 65 shops and restaurants, a hotel and over 400 underground parking spaces, and it seeks EDGE Advanced certification.
