Coyol Free Zone is a benchmark for project design and construction practices in the Free Zone sector in the Americas.
Our leadership attracts world-class companies to develop their projects and, in fact, over 80% of them have expanded their facilities in our Park. Currently, we host the operation of 34 firms, including multinationals and local and international suppliers.
We do follow strict international construction standards for our projects, including those mandatory for U.S. companies that follow specific regulations.
Furthermore, all our project administration processes are ISO 9001:2015 certified thus ensuring our compliance procedures are optimal. Additionally, this approach improves the entire supply cycle and procurement processes.
Our business partners benefit from a highly experienced team of engineers with over 20 years of expertise in developing infrastructure and buildings for the Life Sciences and Smart Manufacturing industries. This group of professionals has contributed to numerous projects in the Free Zone industry in Costa Rica.
“At Coyol Free Zone, we continue innovating and seeking new technological tools and processes, allowing us to have standardized and more efficient processes. Without a doubt, this has improved our construction management, but more importantly, our customer service,” explained José Araya, Technical Director of Engineering CODE Development Group, the development group behind Coyol Free Zone.
Over its 17 years, the attributes that are critical for companies seeking international expansion have allowed the Park to receive multiple recognitions, and consistently rank among the 10 Best Free Zones in the World and the Americas.
Environmental awareness
All projects in Coyol Free Zone are subject to environmental supervision, including chemical waste traceability and optimization in the use of materials.
They adhere to criteria of energy efficiency, water management, use of alternative energies, indoor environmental quality, material selection, and waste management during and after construction.
Our dedication to sustainable development and energy efficiency is evident through comprehensive initiatives and continuous improvement in environmental practices.
These efforts not only enhance the Park’s operational efficiency, but also contribute significantly to the environmental wellbeing of the surrounding communities and the country.
In constant expansion since our opening
During the first half of 2024, Coyol Free Zone generated new investments and reinvestments from companies previously established in the Park, amounting to close to US$80 million.
A skilled labor force, important competitive advantages, and the experience of more than 17 years of experience, were key to the attraction of five new Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects, which together would generate more than 2,300 additional jobs over the next five years.
Since our opening, over 3,000,000 ft² of area has been constructed in our Park, with 2021 setting a record for constructed area, totaling over 440,000 ft².
