The Verón-Punta Cana region is undergoing significant urban and residential development. The Municipal Territorial Plan (PMOT) has moved into a critical phase of public discussion and review by the local Junta de Vocales. This process, mandated by Law 368-22, involves public hearings to balance community concerns, business interests, and sustainable urban growth.

Mayor Ramón Antonio ‘Manolito’ Ramírez is currently conducting socialization meetings for the draft Territorial Ordering Plan (POT) to guide organized growth amidst rapid expansion. During these sessions, representatives from the Altagracia Tourism Business Alliance (ALETA) and the Dominican Association of Tourist Transport (ADOTRATUR) provided technical observations regarding land use, mobility, and tourism infrastructure. The municipal government is evaluating these contributions for potential amendments to the technical document.

Parallel to these regulatory developments, private sector expansion continues. Grupo Avellano and Escala Group have announced Canavé, a new residential project in the Vista Cana area. The development will consist of 159 villas distributed across three construction phases, focusing on low-density living and integration with the natural environment. Architectural designs utilize a perforated skin to regulate light and ventilation, with villa models ranging from two-bedroom units of approximately 122 square meters to four-bedroom residences of approximately 188 square meters.
