Historic Treasure & Development Opportunity – Calle Marina 9181, Ponce, Puerto Rico
Two Properties, One Vision – Transform Ponce’s History into a World-Class Destination
Own a rare piece of Puerto Rico’s architectural heritage and turn it into a high-income-producing investment.
Built in 1897, this Spanish Colonial masterpiece sits in the heart of Ponce, just steps from the city’s most famous landmarks — Casa de Bombas and Parque Las Delicias.
This unique offering includes two adjoining properties (two separate deeds) totaling 1,058.89 m² / 11,399 ft² / 0.26 acres:
A two-story historic building (~7,890 ft²) with two commercial storefronts and a spacious central courtyard.
An adjacent lot ideal for parking, expansion, or the addition of 15–20 more rooms.
Though the main building experienced fire damage in 2023, its structure and historic character remain intact — ready for a visionary developer to restore and reimagine it as a boutique hotel, cultural attraction, or mixed-use project.
Together, both lots can accommodate a 25–30 room boutique hotel blending old-world charm with modern amenities — pool, courtyard dining, rooftop terrace, or coworking lounge.
