History of Panama

From a historical point of view the country Panama has had an essential role, not only in Central America but in the world too. Unfortunately, most of Panama's physical history is lost between trees and plants of the forever-growing jungle since the first indigenous communities were not able to build robust constructions, constructions that could stand environmental influences of hundreds of years.

For this reason, the exotic jungle of Panama covered the historical remains of the ancient communities.

Nevertheless, you'll still find areas where the jungle growth held back inter alia in Panama Viejo, which is one remaining part of the ancient city of Panama and a world heritage since 1977.

Since the foundation of the historic old quarter of Panama City Casco Viejo on August 15, 1519, it lasted incredibly one hundred and fifty-two years. Governor Juan Perez de Guzman set the whole city on fire in the year 1671.

One year later the Spanish nobleman Antonio Fernández de Córdoba planned the reconstruction of a renewed city, which was completely constructed by 1673. At that time the city was on a peninsula completely surrounded by the sea and wall construction for defensive reasons. Today this little - and yes I mean little since it is just four avenues wide- is one of Panama's hippiest neighborhoods with cocktail bars, discos where you can dance salsa, rooftop restaurants, and last but not least historical and cultural remains in every corner.

Moreover, you will find parts of ruins along the Caribbean coast inter alia after driving through Colon. The Panama Canal itself is an existing proof of the unremitting exertion and creativity of Panama's citizens.

History of Premier Casa

The history of Premier Casa starts with the foundation of Panama Casa in 2002 until 2012 which was a business strictly doing property management. Indeed Panama Casa started as a small suitcase kept in the trunk of a car with only three workers back at that time.

As a result of the success the business experienced with professional property management in less than one year, being the first professional property management company in Panama, the next step was to create a real estate company that additionally focusses on real estate sales. Being just a service company before, the company expanded into real estate sales in 2008 and 2009.

The outcome was the establishment of a full-service real estate company providing property management, sales, and rentals, with the name Panama Casa Realty. From that day on Panama Casa and Panama Casa Realty operated as 2 companies.

As a result of expanding the international businesses to Columbia in 2011 and Peru in 2012, the company decided to create a company that embraces all the international business under one name, which led to the creation of the real estate service network Premier Casa, in 2012. Thereupon in 2017 Premier Casa expanded its business to Costa Rica.

From there on Premier Casa brings world-class service levels to new places allowing truly turn-key real estate investments in Latin America with professional property management services run by our international team in geographic areas that such services use to be unavailable or uncommon. This opens up more areas to international real estate investors and giving them higher returns in new areas that had been less competitive from the point of bringing in international real estate investment.
