On March 5, the entity inspected the potential construction site and opened a public consultation to determine if there was any disapproval of the building that is slated to be built on an 11-hectare lot located behind the Figali Convention Center.

The public consultation yielded no objections to the public work that will cost $193.7 million and will be built by the consortium HPC-Contrata-P&V, made of the companies HPC (Panama), Soluciones Arquitectónicas (Costa Rica), P&V (Panama), Heliopol (Spain) y Quality Construction (Puerto Rico).

The consortium has already conducted topographical studies and at this moment is working on the final project design. The convention center will be a turnkey construction project, and the next administration will be responsible for paying the debts incurred in 2015.
