Description

The Westin Residences is Empresas Bern's Marriott-branded residential tower at Playa Bonita, about 17 km from Panama City. Bern's 1 August 2026 price list starts at $448,000 for an 80 m² one-bedroom with a den and two baths, fully furnished ($5,600 per m²). Bern uses the Westin name under a Marriott licence; Marriott does not develop or sell the residences.

Size and floor set the price. The 128 m² multi-use residence (two bedrooms, a den, three baths, split as a 1/1 and a 2/2 lock-off) starts at $716,000, or $5,594 per m²; making the den a third bedroom costs $8,000. The 169 to 263 m² three-bedroom penthouses on floors 26 and 27 list at $1,040,000 to $1.7 million ($6,154 to $6,464 per m²).

Payment is a $5,000 refundable expression of interest, 15% at contract, 10% at six and 12 months, 5% at 18 months and the balance on delivery. Bern's financing covers 50% over five years with no prepayment penalty. Maintenance plus the Marriott branding fee is $4.20 per m² per month. The amenity plans show a social level with a cinema and pool bar, a wellness centre and gym, and a rooftop restaurant and pool.

Delivery is 2029. On 1 August Bern reported Phase A more than 80% reserved and had not released Phase B prices. Its images are inspirational; renders and units may change to meet Marriott brand standards.

Property taxes

Estimated yearly tax at the asking price. The rate depends on how the home is registered.

As your main home
$1,640 – $9,900 a year
As a second home or rental
$2,904 – $15,320 a year

Ley 66 de 2017 brackets, applied progressively. Main home registered as Vivienda Principal or Patrimonio Familiar Tributario: 0% to $120,000, 0.5% to $700,000, 0.7% above. Any other property: 0% to $30,000, 0.6% to $250,000, 0.8% to $500,000, 1% above. The tax is charged on the registered cadastral value of land and building, which usually differs from the asking price, and some buildings keep construction exemptions under earlier laws.

Panama Property Score

A score out of 10 from our proprietary algorithm. It weighs this project's list prices against other new developments nearby, its potential to gain value and its neighborhood.

The score appears once there are enough current prices for this area and neighborhood data for the location.

How the score works

Price & opportunity (40%): is the price per m² cheap or expensive next to properties of the same type and a similar size for sale in the same area? A price in line with the area scores about 7.5, and the further below the area it is, the closer it gets to 10. Expected rental income also counts when we know local rents, and a recent price cut or qualifying for Panama's lower mortgage rate on a first new home adds a little.

Appreciation potential (30%): signs the area could gain value, such as a Metro or rail line being built nearby, new construction around it, a good neighborhood still priced below the rest of the district, or a newer building.

Neighborhood (30%): how many shops, restaurants, bus and Metro stops, parks and schools are within walking distance.

For a new development, price compares the midpoint of the developer's published price per m² range with other new developments we list in the same area, widening to the district when there are fewer than three. Asking prices for existing apartments nearby are shown for context and do not change the score. Developer price lists sit closer together than resale prices, so the same gap moves a project's price score twice as far. Every project is new, so being new adds nothing, and there is no rental estimate yet.

Scores run from 3 to 10: under 5.5 is poor, 5.5 to 6.4 fair, 6.5 to 7.4 good, 7.5 to 8.4 very good, and 8.5 or more excellent. They only appear when we have price data plus at least one other part. A missing Metro line or building site nearby is left out rather than counted against the property. It is a research tool, not an appraisal, a forecast or investment advice.
