Bioma doesn't have a unique legal angle the way Pino Alto has its Tourism Authority approval. There's no permit or title position here that no other Costa del Este tower can claim. What it actually competes on is scale: over 7,000 m² of amenity space split across three "ecosystems," including a street-level retail and sports-club podium (levels 0–4) with its own independent entrance so residents and the public don't share the same lobby. Its developer, The Velopers, also has a track record worth knowing: their previous tower, Dovle in Coco del Mar, reportedly sold 170 units in 19 hours, which tells you more about resale liquidity than any marketing paragraph does. At roughly 60 storeys it also sits among the tallest towers in Costa del Este, alongside Paramount (63 storeys) and above older neighbors like Marea (38) and Top Towers (42). If the reason you're searching this project is "why this one and not the tower next door," the honest answer is amenity density and developer sales velocity, not a structural moat.

Where Bioma Costa del Este actually is
Bioma sits on Avenida Las Costas in Costa del Este, directly across from Town Center mall, in the Juan Díaz township roughly 12 km from Tocumen International Airport via the Corredor Sur. Costa del Este was built starting in the mid-1990s partly on reclaimed land, fill sourced from Panama Canal excavation material and a leveled hill in Villa Guadalupe. That's true of the whole neighborhood, not specific to this tower. The area has its own central plaza, a roughly 4 km boardwalk, and international schools including King's College Panama and Oxford International School.

Who Bioma Costa del Este suits — and who it doesn’t
Buyers who want a heavily amenitized new-build in an established, walkable Panama City neighborhood; investors able to hold a pre-construction position for several years; families who value nearby international schools (King's College Panama, Oxford International School) and don't mind paying for extensive shared amenities to get them.
The cheap units are gone, and most of what is published about Bioma's pricing describes a phase that has closed. As of 8 August 2026 the developer's live availability list holds 66 units between $466,200 and $611,000, across plans of 65 to 130 m² on floors 9 to 53. This page previously carried $342,000 for the smallest 65 m² unit, and broker pages still advertise from $315,000 to $335,000. Those are earlier-phase prices for stock that is no longer for sale. If you are comparing Bioma against another tower on a headline entry price, you are comparing a live number against a historical one.
Per square metre the spread inside the building is extreme. The 130 m² line works out at about $4,577 per m², while the smallest available units run up to roughly $7,542. That is a 65 percent premium per square metre for the small stock, which is a wider gap than most towers in the district carry, and it means the "from" price and the best value are at opposite ends of the price list. The large units are where the value per square metre sits.
Realistic delivery is likely 2028 to 2029, not the 2025 date some listing sites still show. Public sources on the actual timeline genuinely conflict, so get written confirmation from the developer rather than trusting either secondhand figure.
HOA runs high for the neighbourhood at roughly $3.25 to $3.50 per m² per month, which on a 97 m² unit is around $315 to $340. That is consistent with over 7,000 m² of amenity space, and it is the highest carrying cost of the four Costa del Este towers we price directly.
And as of this research we could not locate a public, independently verifiable construction permit or Registro Público record tied to this specific project. That is normal for a preselling tower, but it means early buyers are relying on the developer's own paperwork rather than a public filing until units are titled.
Before you buy at Bioma Costa del Este
Status is preselling/early construction; site excavation was documented in early 2024. Delivery timelines conflict across public sources. One aggregator shows Q4 2025 (implausible given the construction timeline), while The Agency Panama's listing estimates 2028–2029, which we consider the more credible figure. Get the current schedule in writing from the developer. Deposit structure, per The Agency Panama: $1,000 reservation, then 20% down for Panamanian residents or 30% for foreign buyers during construction. Developer is The Velopers (previous projects: Dovle, Velure, Vita, Regalia), whose prior sales velocity is documented (Dovle reportedly sold 170 units in 19 hours) but whose on-time delivery record we could not independently verify. An attorney should review the promesa de compraventa deposit-forfeiture terms, confirm The Velopers' corporate registration, and pull the construction permit and plano for the lot once it's filed. None of that was independently verifiable through public sources at the time of this research.
FAQ
What's the starting price at Bioma?
$466,200 for an 89 m² one-bedroom, on the developer's live availability list as of 8 August 2026. Above that: 97 m² two-bedrooms from $471,500, the 114 m² line from $556,000, and 128 to 130 m² units from $595,000, with the list topping out at $611,000.
Lower figures are still widely published and they are all historical. This page previously showed $342,000 for the smallest 65 m² unit, and broker pages advertise from $315,000 to $335,000. Those reflect earlier-phase pricing on stock that has sold. Nothing at those prices is available.
Which units at Bioma are the best value?
The large ones, by a wide margin. The 128 to 130 m² line works out at about $4,577 per square metre. The smallest available units run up to roughly $7,542 per square metre. That is a 65 percent premium for the small stock.
Some of that gap is normal, since fixed costs like the kitchen and bathroom are spread over less floor area in a small apartment. A 65 percent spread is wider than the district norm, and it is worth knowing that Bioma's cheapest ticket price and its cheapest square metres are at opposite ends of the price list. If you are buying to hold rather than to let by the room, price per square metre is the number to optimise.
How much is still available at Bioma?
66 units as of 8 August 2026, spread across floors 9 to 53, in plans from 65 to 130 m². That is the deepest remaining inventory of any project in The Velopers' portfolio.
Deep inventory cuts both ways. It means you have real choice of floor and orientation, which is unusual this far into a sales cycle. It also means you will be competing against the developer's own unsold stock if you try to resell before the building is finished, and the developer can discount in a way you cannot.
How many floors does Bioma have?
Most sources, including the RE/MAX listing for the project and the most-cited site plans, put it at 60 storeys, but broker pages vary widely, from 47 to 67 floors depending on the source. The developer's own availability list shows units on floors 9 to 53, which is consistent with roughly 60 but does not settle it. Treat any single figure as approximate until it's confirmed against the recorded plans.
When will Bioma be delivered?
Public sources disagree. One listing shows Q4 2025, which doesn't line up with a construction site that was still being excavated in early 2024 for a roughly 60-storey tower. A more detailed broker page (The Agency Panama) estimates 2028–2029, which we consider more credible. Get the developer's current schedule in writing rather than relying on either figure.
Who is the developer, and have they delivered projects before?
The Velopers, based in Panama City, with a portfolio that includes Dovle Selva and Dovle Cincuentenario (Coco del Mar), Cavarosa (Amador), Velure (El Cangrejo), Vita, Victory Wellness and Victory Sport, and Nayamara. Their Dovle project reportedly sold 170 units in 19 hours, which speaks to demand, but we could not independently verify their track record for delivering projects on the originally quoted timeline.
One thing their current availability list does show is that the portfolio is selling through: Victory Wellness and Victory Sport are both sold out, Vita is down to a single unit and Velure to two. Bioma is where the depth is.
What are the HOA fees at Bioma?
Roughly $3.25 to $3.50 per m² per month, which works out to about $289 to $312 on an 89 m² unit and $416 to $448 on a 128 m². That's the highest rate among the Costa del Este towers we price directly, against Nogal at $2.25 and Aurum at $2.50, and it is consistent with over 7,000 m² of amenity space. Amenity density is the thing this building competes on, and this is what it costs to run.
Is Bioma titled property?
Not yet. It's in the preselling/pre-construction stage, sold under a purchase promise (promesa de compraventa) rather than a titled deed. We could not locate a public, independently verifiable construction permit or Registro Público filing for this specific project during this research. That's normal at this stage, but something your attorney should confirm directly with the developer rather than assume.
How far is Bioma from the airport?
About 12 km from Tocumen International Airport via the Corredor Sur. That's a Costa del Este-wide figure, not unique to this tower.
