Colón

Colón is Panama's main city on the Atlantic coast, at the Caribbean entrance of the Panama Canal and home to the Zona Libre de Colón, the country's major free trade zone and one of the largest in the world, alongside container ports, a cruise terminal and rail and highway links to Panama City. Its economy is built on trade, logistics and re-export, so the property market is primarily commercial: offices, showrooms and premises for companies operating in the free zone and around the ports. Buyers are trading companies, logistics operators and investors seeking income-producing commercial real estate. For investors, Colón real estate is tied to the Canal and free zone economy, with demand from an international business base and ongoing port and infrastructure investment.
