Grupo Paseo Del Sendero

What Grupo Paseo Del Sendero does

Grupo Paseo del Sendero, legally operating as Ocean Veu Development SRL, is a privately held Dominican real estate development group founded in 2005 and headquartered in Bávaro (Higüey) within its VISTACANA master-planned community, with a secondary office in Nueva Gorgona, Panama. The group develops and sells themed residential, condohotel, and master-planned community projects across the Dominican Republic and Panama, with a portfolio including Poúra Vinta (equestrian), Chukum Lagoon (condohotel with wellness focus), Pueblito Caribeño (Caribbean colonial residential), Royal Gardens (single-family lots with nature amenities), and KAU (200+ hectare tropical urban complex in Panama). Reported scale includes 1,000+ units commercialized, 1.2 million square meters developed, 500+ units under construction, 9,000+ homes sold within VISTACANA, and a land bank of approximately 20 million square meters across Dominican Republic zones.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: one-time sales of residential units (lots, apartments, condominiums, villas) across themed projects; managed hotel residences operated by HMS for owners who earn rental income; and large-scale land parcel (macrolote) development and sale to other developers. Pricing for the hotel ownership model starts at approximately US$300,000, with project-specific pricing undisclosed and quote-based. The group is family-controlled by the Vásquez family, with Alberto Vásquez as CEO/President, Michael Vásquez as COO, Vanessa Vásquez as CMO, Rafael Gutiérrez as CFO, Adriana de la Mota as Legal Director, and David Suspes leading the International Division; a 2024-established non-profit, Fundación Paseo del Sendero, supports education, environmental, and social welfare initiatives.

Go-to-market combines direct sales through company offices and a website with multi-language support, an International Division targeting cross-border investors, a broker and agent network with a dedicated Telegram channel, and event presence at SIMA (Madrid), CILA Congress, and Expo Investor (Colombia). Strategic partnerships include Preferred Hotels & Resorts for Chukum Lagoon (access to I Prefer loyalty and ~7 million travelers), HMS for hotel operations, M+ Group for architectural design, and cultural partners such as Liziarts and Fundación Herencia Viva del Arte. Customers span international real estate investors (predominantly US-based, with material Spanish share), Dominican families seeking primary residences in planned communities, wellness-focused travelers, and custom home builders.
