The transformation of the old Marina Park site into Marina City Center marks a significant urban development for San Miguel, Lima. This ambitious mixed-use project, encompassing residential, commercial, office, and hotel spaces, promises to inject new life into a district that has seen better days since the closure of the original entertainment venue.
The initiative advances in stages and has its total delivery scheduled for April 2027, according to the official urban development schedule.
Marina City Center is not just about constructing buildings; it's about creating a vibrant urban hub. The inclusion of a private park for residents and diverse common areas for recreation and work highlights a modern approach to urban living. The commercial spaces on the first level are designed to ensure constant economic activity, revitalizing the streetscape and the district's overall dynamism.
The Peruvian government, through the Ministry of Commerce and Tourism, has recognized the project's potential by granting it special tax benefits under the IGV early recovery regime. This support underscores the significant investment of over US$9.3 million and signals confidence in the project's ability to stimulate economic growth.
The project seeks to reactivate one of the best-known areas of the district, which for years remained abandoned after the closure of the old entertainment center.
With major brands like Wong, Smart Fit, and the Hilton hotel already confirmed, Marina City Center is poised to become a new landmark in San Miguel. The phased delivery, with the first residential tower already completed and commercial areas opening soon, demonstrates steady progress. This development is a testament to Lima's ongoing urban evolution and its capacity to undertake large-scale projects that redefine city living and commercial activity.
The commercial area of Marina City Center already has the confirmed presence of several brands that will operate within the complex.
