We mitigated the road impact generated by the entrance to this complex, in coordination with the municipality. The actions carried out in this framework created jobs, increased trade and added value in the area, as well as improved traffic circulation in the surrounding roads.
We made an urban intervention in Calle Real, next to this complex. We expanded it to three lanes, built a central median with a deceleration zone for vehicle entry, installed traffic lights, improved and adapted the entrance street to the basement of the shopping mall. All this required an investment of US$ 250 thousand, for a constructed area of 4800 m2. CWith this work, we created employment, increased trade and ordered traffic in the area. The works and rearrangement created discomfort in a group of neighbors. However, the positive impacts were greater, such as the increase in surplus value in the nearby land and the improvement of the quality of life of the area’s neighbors. In terms of creating employment, 34 persons (25 men and 9 women) were employed in 2019 for safety and cleanliness, while in the construction phase, 1379 persons were employed in construction work (1361 men and 18 women).
