SANTO DOMINGO.- The President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, will inaugurate this Thursday the La Gaviota amphitheaterin Ciudad Juan Bosch, a cultural infrastructure built with an investment of RD 407,086,571.91, and which is part of a large set of works executed and under development in this model city, with a total investment that exceeds RD 2,387,116,590.56.
The project was developed by the Trust for the Construction of Low-Cost Housing of the Dominican Republic (VBC-RD), in coordination with Movexco Constructora, as part of a strategy that integrates housing, art, culture, sports, basic services and community living spaces, according to a press release from the Presidency.
Benchmark of urban development
The La Gaviota amphitheater consolidates Ciudad Juan Bosch as a benchmark for comprehensive urban development, access to culture and quality public spaces to promote planned, inclusive and sustainable communities.
The urban transformation process in Ciudad Juan Bosch includes significant investments in sports, recreational, environmental, and sanitation infrastructure. Among these, the development of a modern sports complex incorporating multiple disciplines and recreational areas stands out, with an investment exceeding RD$478 million, as well as the first phase of Ecological Park , conceived as a green space and area for family recreation, with an investment exceeding RD$412 million.
Strengthening basic services has been a priority, with the construction of the No. 3 vitrified regulating reservoir and its reinforced concrete pedestal, with an investment of more than RD 389 million, in addition to the commissioning of two wastewater treatment plants (PETAR East and PETAR II), whose joint investment exceeds RD 322 million, which guarantees environmental sustainability and a better quality of life for residents.
Spaces for the community
The urban planning of Ciudad Juan Bosch also includes meeting spaces and essential services for the community, such as the Plaza Urbana 20 de Diciembre Norte, developed in two stages with an investment of over RD 657 million, and the Funeraria Ciudad Juan Bosch, built with an investment exceeding RD 64 million, expanding the coverage of community services.
The executive director of the VBC-RD Trust, Camel Curi Lora, highlighted that the La Gaviota amphitheater and the set of works developed respond to a vision of the city that transcends the construction of housing.
“With these investments, we reaffirm that urban development is not limited to building houses, but rather to creating communities with cultural, sports, and environmental spaces and services that improve the lives of families. Ciudad Juan Bosch continues to consolidate itself as a model of a planned and humane city,” said Curi Lora.
Suitable for all audiences
The inauguration of the La Gaviota amphitheater will extend from Thursday, February 12th to Sunday, February 15th, with a high-level artistic program, coordinated together with the Ministry of Culture, which will turn this new space into the cultural epicenter of Ciudad Juan Bosch.
During the opening days, the public will be able to enjoy symphonic concerts, contemporary dance performances, choral proposals, folk shows and innovative musical experiences, with the participation of the Santo Domingo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Koribe Chamber Choir, the National Contemporary Dance Company, the Escuela Libre de Herrera, the Dominican National Folkloric Ballet and DJ Clara Egelmann Tolentino, among other artists.
