Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. Is Puerto Rico a good location for retail and commercial development?

    Yes. Puerto Rico offers strong consumer demand, especially in metro areas like San Juan, Bayamón, and Ponce. Retail centers near automotive corridors and mixed-use districts have seen consistent tenant interest and foot traffic, even post-pandemic.


    How we help: DEV Builders has delivered commercial properties in high-traffic zones across the island. We guide site selection and design to align with zoning, visibility, and vehicular access needs.

  • 2. What are the permitting timelines for commercial construction in Puerto Rico?

    Permitting typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the municipality and project type. Multi-tenant commercial sites may require environmental or traffic assessments.

     

    How we help: Our in-house permitting team accelerates this process. We manage pre-submission plans, coordinate with municipal offices, and fast-track standard retail layouts that meet code.

  • 3. Can new commercial developments qualify for tax incentives?

    Yes, particularly if the property supports economic development in designated zones or incorporates energy-saving features. Projects may benefit from municipal tax exemptions or incentives under the Economic Incentives for Development Act (Act 60).


    How we help: At DEV Builders Group, we help assess eligibility for local incentives and integrate required features into your design to maximize compliance and tax savings.

  • 4. What is the typical construction timeline for a retail or commercial property in Puerto Rico?

    For shell commercial spaces, timelines average 5 to 8 months, depending on size and site conditions. Custom tenant buildouts may add another 30–60 days.


    How we help: We control timing with our own equipment fleet and in-house teams. This reduces reliance on subcontractors and allows us to deliver on aggressive schedules, even in remote or high-traffic areas.
