Over the past few years, land prices in Curaçao have increased significantly. In popular areas such as Jan Thiel and Brakkeput, plots that were available for NAF 100 per square meter just five years ago have now risen to NAF 250 per square meter for standard plots and up to NAF 1,500 per square meter in prime locations.

Why Have Land Prices Increased?

The rapid rise in land prices is largely driven by market demand. As more people seek homes in desirable neighborhoods, the availability of new land for development has become extremely limited. Many sought-after areas are already fully allocated, forcing buyers to compete for the remaining plots.

Additionally, investors and speculators who purchased land at lower prices five or more years ago are now selling at much higher rates. This has created a seller’s market, where landowners can demand premium prices due to ongoing property appreciation.

Location Matters: The Key to Land Value

A home built in a top location on Curaçao can be worth up to three times more than the same house in a less desirable area just a few kilometers away. This price surge is not only happening in Jan Thiel but also in other key locations, including the city center, where even small plots or rundown buildings that were considered undesirable 10 years ago have now become unaffordable.

Commercial Land Prices on the Rise

Owners of commercial land have also recognized the shift in market dynamics. As a result, prices in high-traffic and high-visibility locations have increased dramatically, reaching up to NAF 1,500 per square meter. Investors are now buying residential properties, demolishing them, and converting the land for commercial purposes, further increasing land value.

Should You Invest in Land in Curaçao?

For those considering land as an investment, the answer is a resounding YES! Prime locations tend to hold their value and can be resold quickly when needed. Additionally, with proper foresight and smart decision-making, investors can still find locations that will appreciate significantly in the coming years.
