The Cocun Project is projected as a milestone in sustainable urban construction in Bogotá, planned as the capital's first hotel structured in engineered wood. In this article, we detail the datasheet, key presale figures, comparison with traditional real estate, and detailed architectural plans.
- Presale price: $10 MM/m² (on sellable area)
- Fiduciary rights (FIDIS): 6,620 rights available to the public (out of 10,000 total
- Total built area: 1,179 m² (including common and technical areas
- Sellable area: 950 m² (commercializable private area of suites and commerci
- Capacity: 20 design rooms (5 suites of 20 m² and 15 studio apartments of 25 m²)
- Operator: Hotel management 100% delegated to Nabile
Product Structure: Fiduciary Rights
Investing in Cocun does not mean buying an isolated apartment to manage individually. The investment is made by acquiring Fiduciary Rights (FIDIS) representing a proportional share in the independent trust (patrimonio autónomo), which owns the lot (Cra. 22 # 51-63), the building's superstructure, the hotel equipment, and net cash flows from the commercial operation.
Traditional Real Estate vs. Cocun Project
The Build to Rent model professionalizes operations and distributes vacancy risk collectively through a hotel revenue pool:
| Criterio de Inversión | Finca raíz tradicional | Cocun Project |
|---|---|---|
| Gestión del activo | Activa — el propietario cobra arriendos, hace reparaciones y asume desocupaciones. | 100% pasiva — operado de forma centralizada por Nabilera. |
| Riesgo de vacancia | Alto — si el apartamento está vacío, la renta es de $0. | Mitigado — los ingresos de las 20 habitaciones se consolidan y distribuyen a prorrata. |
| Velocidad constructiva | Lenta — procesos tradicionales de concreto in-situ con alta variabilidad. | Rápida — ensamblaje de componentes de madera técnica prefabricados en fábrica. |
| Impacto ecológico | Alta huella de carbono debido a materiales convencionales. | Captura de CO₂ biogénico en la superestructura de madera masiva. |
Location and Market: The Galerías Corridor
The hotel will be built on a strategic lot of 240 m² (8 m front by 30 m deep) at Carrera 22 # 51-63, Bogotá. This location directly connects the flow of visitors from nearby universities (National University, Javeriana, Sergio Arboleda), sports and entertainment tourism from El Campín Stadium and Movistar Arena, and corporate travelers from the Carrera 30 corridor.
Sustainability and Certifications
The laminated timber superstructure turns the building into a permanent carbon sink. To validate this impact, the project is structured under national and international green building standards:
- CASA / CCCS: Alignment with the green building seal of the Colombian Council for Sustainable Construction for access to green finance rates.
- Law 1715: Utilization of tax incentives and VAT exclusions for low-impact materials and renewable energy generation (photovoltaic panels of the *Solar Rooftop*).
- Net-Zero Operation: High-performance insulation and solar system integration to reduce the hotel's operational energy footprint to a minimum.
