Risks & source coverage

  • LEGAL 24 May 2024 award; status reported 8 October 2026 On 24 May 2024, an arbitral tribunal ordered Empresas Bern group companies to pay about $77.7 million for contractual, construction and management breaches concerning Town Center Costa del Este; the group rejected the award and sought to annul it, while related criminal allegations of aggravated fraud and aggravated theft remained unadjudicated and the imputations were postponed on 8 October 2026 to 2027.
  • RISK June 2026; reported 17 September 2026 In June 2026, construction of Generation Tower, involving contractor Black Bear linked to Empresas Bern, reportedly caused the partial collapse of the perimeter wall of PH Ocean Two; an insurance claim for $315,952 remained under negotiation, and the report did not establish a final liability finding.
  • LICENCE PROBLEM September 2016 collapse; partial authorization reported 6 January 2017 In September 2016, a five-storey retaining wall at Empresas Bern’s Center Plaza project reportedly collapsed, after which Panama City granted only a partial authorization for earthwork and reinforcement while the building plan remained under review; the retrieved report does not establish the project’s later resolution.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures. 1 turned out to be about something else — a phase, a neighbour, the wider masterplan — and is marked off-subject.

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest published review base found for the building at 4.7/5 from 99 reviews, converted to a 9.3 anchor under the stated curve. The sampled commentary is predominantly positive on security, personnel, facilities, views and location, with only an isolated minor pool-temperature criticism, producing a modest upward adjustment. No published review evidence supports a separate structure score.

The published reviews describe “friendly and helpful security staff” and personnel who are “always very attentive,” alongside superb facilities including a 47th-floor gym, pool table and multiple pools. The principal criticism in the sampled material is that the pools “weren't heated”; the review page otherwise emphasizes proximity to shops, restaurants and offices and views of the park and sea.

Las reseñas escritas leídas son mayoritariamente positivas, con elogios repetidos a la atención, el ambiente y la seguridad, por lo que el resultado final sube ligeramente a 9.5/10.

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest building-level review base found, at 4.7/5 from 97 reviews, which converts to 9.2/10 under the stated curve. The guest-platform aggregates are also positive but do not materially disagree after conversion, and the isolated minor comments about pool tiles, paint, weekend crowding and noise do not justify a score adjustment.

+ Clean common areas+ Well-maintained facility+ Good gym+ Pools in good condition overall+ Well-equipped apartments

Not found in sources: No detailed engineering feedback · No detailed plumbing/HVAC feedback
+ Helpful staff+ Polite service+ Direct beach access+ Strong amenity offering+ Friendly community
− Busy weekend social areas− Short-stay guest activity− Occasional fireworks noise− Limited pedestrian infrastructure− Traffic near school times

Published guest feedback is positive about the physical experience: reviewers described the facility as “very clean and we'll maintained,” called the facilities “very nice,” and praised the gym and pools. The only direct fabric-related criticism located was that “the pool area needs tile work and the building could use a fresh paint job”; no published review located in this research reported flooding, lift failures, plumbing failure, HVAC failure or structural distress.

exa.aibooking.combooking.comexpedia.com

The day-to-day picture is strongly amenity-led: reviews praise “amazingly helpful staff,” “direct access to beach,” multiple pools, the gym, children’s areas and sports courts, while another reviewer called the community “super friendly.” The main operational cautions are that social areas can be busy, short-term tourists are present, and one visitor advised bringing earplugs because of fireworks; Booking reviewers nevertheless described the apartment as clean, the staff as polite and the facilities as excellent.

Google Reviews/Maps fija el nivel con 4.6/5 de 23 reseñas, que se convierte aproximadamente en 8.8/10 antes de ajustes. La ubicación aparece como elogio repetido, elevando marginalmente el resultado; la única crítica estructural es aislada y no permite puntuar la estructura por separado.

+ Ubicación junto a Town Center+ Limpio+ Organizado+ Seguridad privada+ Piscina y gimnasio
− Poca evidencia sobre administración− Poca evidencia sobre tiempos de mantenimiento− Una crítica de calidad constructiva− Sin quejas repetidas de seguridad− Sin quejas repetidas de amenidades

La única reseña estructural explícita leída fue negativa: "la calidad de construccion es demasiado baja para la categoria que debio haber sido", aunque no describe una falla concreta. Un artículo publicado en enero de 2020, basado en información de Empresas Bern, anunciaba paredes Drywall resistentes al agua, humedad, hongos y moho, paneles exteriores con aislamiento y techos Termotex; también indicaba que la entrega se esperaba en 2020, por lo que esas afirmaciones son evidencia de diseño/promesa original, no una inspección actual.

exa.aitucomunidad.com.pa

La experiencia cotidiana publicada es mayormente favorable: una reseña dice "Muy limpio y organizado", y otra describe un complejo privado con "propia seguridad, piscina, gimnasio"; varias valoran estar a pasos de Town Center. La principal reserva publicada es una reseña de 3/5 que califica la calidad de construcción como demasiado baja para la categoría, pero no hay una queja operacional repetida identificable en las reseñas leídas.

4.0/ 10
—/ 10
—/ 10

No applicable platform published a building rating, so the score is based only on the eight individual forum comments read. One was positive, six negative and one mixed; because the evidence is old, pre-/during-development commentary rather than a current resident review base, the 4.0 score is low-confidence and should not be read as a current measured rating.

skyscrapercity.comgogetit.com.papremiumlivingpty.comempresasbern.commetrorealtypanama.com
+ Large floor plans+ High-speed elevators+ Emergency power plant+ Reserve water tank+ Double-layer insulated glazing
− Finished product said to differ from render− Facade appearance concerns− Interior layout criticized− Quality-value concerns
Not found in sources: No independent engineering review found
+ Waterfront location+ Ocean views+ Pool+ Gym and sauna+ 24-hour security
− Price dissatisfaction− Perceived poor value− Layout dissatisfaction− Concern about developer responsiveness
Not found in sources: No current resident-operations review found

The only direct physical-condition commentary located was an old 2013–2018 forum thread, not a current inspection: commenters questioned whether the finished building would match the render, and one 2018 post said the “producto final es totalmente diferente a este render.” Listings describe emergency power, a reserve-water tank, high-speed elevators and insulated glazing, but these are advertised specifications rather than resident condition ratings; no published structural score was found.

skyscrapercity.commetrorealtypanama.compremiumlivingpty.com

The available operational evidence is thin and old: the forum discussion praised the concept and waterfront setting but mainly criticized price and design, including “un precio que no esta justificado.” A 2020 developer post describes the completed social area with pool, children’s play space, gym and squash/raquetball, while the independent listing describes concierge and security; these are facilities/specifications, not current resident ratings or proof of management performance.

skyscrapercity.comempresasbern.commetrorealtypanama.com
Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 5 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 1 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.
