Santo Domingo Este. – President Luis Abinader led the inauguration of the La Gaviota amphitheater in Ciudad Juan Bosch, built with an investment of RD$407,086,571.91 and marks the beginning of a broad process of inaugurations of works carried out in this model city, whose global investment exceeds RD$2,387,116,590.56.
The project was developed by the Trust for the Construction of Low-Cost Housing of the Dominican Republic (Fideicomiso VBC-RD), in coordination with Movexco Constructora, as part of a strategic vision that articulates housing, infrastructure, services, sports, culture, and quality public spaces to guarantee a planned, sustainable, and inclusive community. During his intervention, the executive director of the VBC-RD Trust, Camel Curi Lora, highlighted that upon assuming management in 2020, they found a paralyzed project, with service works halted at 50%, limitations in titling, scarce commercial and institutional equipment, and a financial scheme compromised with a debt exceeding RD$3,800 million. He explained that they managed to renegotiate and eliminate the debt with Banreservas, recover accounts receivable for more than RD$887 million, and reactivate the bidding for housing lots, which allowed them to generate a stable cash flow to complete the pending infrastructure works. With these actions, the remaining 50% of the service works were executed, including communication routes, drinking water systems, hydro-sanitary network, and electrical distribution, with an investment exceeding RD$500 million.You can also read: Juan Bosch City Amphitheater will be inaugurated in February 2026
