Guaynabo's Metrocity mid-rise condos await a construction permit
Metrocity, the housing project in Guaynabo that El Nuevo Día counted among its most-read stories of the weekend on September 6, 2026, has no approved construction permit yet. Its construction consultation was sent back for corrections, and its latest filing, made on September 2, 2026, is incomplete.
Where the project stands
The project sits on a 12,881-square-meter property on PR-838 at kilometer 0.2 in Barrio Pueblo (https://app.atlas.red/en/pr/parcel/5d3fa51b-cc64-4e59-b105-b2f75fe2e621). Filings made on April 8, 2026 describe a residential development of mid-rise condominium buildings, and two infrastructure recommendation requests filed that day are recorded as approved.
A consolidated construction permit application filed the same day (2026-683301-PCOC-325577) is recorded as archived. A construction consultation filed on July 15, 2026 (2026-683301-CCO-016575) is recorded as in rectification, the status of a filing returned to the applicant for corrections.
Between June 2 and June 10, 2026, the developer filed for an environmental health certificate, which is under inspection, and for two health and safety recommendations, both recorded as approved. The latest filing, an infrastructure recommendation request filed on September 2, 2026 (2026-692443-SRI-333637), is incomplete.
An earlier plan for the site
The same property drew filings for a multifamily project named Evergreen starting on November 2, 2021. An environmental assessment determination for that plan, filed on March 27, 2023, is recorded as approved, and its last filings date from December 2024.
Within 2 kilometers of the site, 41 apartments were listed for sale on November 5, 2026, at a median asking price of $380,000.
