The beauty
of the area of Amador, the Causeway and its four adjacent islands
(Naos, Perico, Flamenco and Culebra) has always captivated Panamanians
and visitors alike. In the early 20th century, for example, the top
brass of the U.S. military stationed in Panama to protect the Canal,
chose to locate their houses on top of Amador Hill, the highest point
in the area which catches the breezes and affords a splendid view
of the Canal, the ocean, the city and the Bridge of the Americas.
The generals
and the admirals are gone now and their houses knocked down. Soon,
in their place will rise an apartment complex aptly called The Bridge.
Amador hill is at the beginning of the Amador Causeway which is fast
becoming the premier recreational area of Panama City.
The Bridge,
which is being developed by Global Alliances Group, offers 28 apartments
in three concrete steel and glass towers. There will be two apartments
per floor. High ceilings will enhance the already large dwellings,
each of which will include three terraces. Accommodation ranges from
studios (198 square meters) to duplexes and penthouses (over 543 square
meters). The project also includes a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, a children's
area, an elegant lobby and ample parking space.
