Santa Rosa housing project in Guaynabo gets an approved construction permit

The latest filing names the project MONTE AZUL and describes the works as Project of 102 housing units Formerly Phase 2 Monte Alto. It carries case number 2019-270630-PCOC-330652.

Two permits and a use request

Both filings are consolidated construction permits. This type of permit combines the construction, remodeling, demolition and urbanization works permits into one. The record holds one filing, consolidated construction permit, status approved, filed September 11, 2026, and a second, consolidated construction permit, status under inspection, filed September 14, 2026.

The same project also has residential use permit, status under inspection, filed September 22, 2026. A residential use permit is written authorization from the permits office, an authorized professional or an autonomous municipality to use land or buildings for residential purposes.

A property with a long record

The property covers 208,671 m2 / 2,246,111 sq ft. The Puerto Rico Land Use Plan classifies it as urban land (99%), specially protected rural land (1%). Urban land is served by roads, water, electricity and other infrastructure in areas already consolidated by building, though the class alone does not make a lot buildable. Specially protected rural land should never be planned as urban land because of its ecological, agricultural, scenic or risk value.

Its zoning districts are R-2 (99%), CR-3 (1%). Across all years the property has 245 permit filings on record, a count that includes the filings reported here.

The property also has 61 sale deeds linked to it, and the most recent of those other deeds was recorded on September 17, 2026.

Another project on the same land, Monteazul at Montecielo, has three filings since August 26, 2026: an approved construction permit, a second one under inspection and registration plans returned for correction.

Another project on the property, MONTE AZUL LEGACY #224; consolidated construction permit, status under inspection, filed September 28, 2026, has a single construction permit under inspection. Its filing describes the works as Construction of a one-story single-family home.

A slower year in Guaynabo

Across Guaynabo, 240 consolidated construction permit filings are on record over the past 12 months. That is fewer than the 379 on record in the 12 months before that, which suggests a quieter year for this kind of filing in the municipality.

Closer to the project, other properties in the Santa Rosa neighbourhood have 102 permit filings on record over the past 90 days.
