    That place had so much potential. I can't believe how run down it looks now.

      Exactly! And the weirdest thing is there is no specific explanation for this downfall....this place has strategic location, good amount of parking spaces, and everything it needed to succeed.....

      @@PurelyWalking I am Dominican, although it is true that it is in a wonderful area, no less true, is that traditionally "the malecon" has never lost its tradition of being a place of outdoor recreation, never as an enclosed commercial area. That is my humble opinion as a citizen of that country.

    Wow! You keep getting better and better. Now I see it’s not the quality of the camera or special effects that makes a good video. It is the immersion you get us all into with your soft-spoken tone as you teach us along the way. The opening was awesome. It has that Blair Witch to it. The creepy background scoring sound turned it into a movie. Awesome!
    To add more creepiness to your well-produced material, on January 17, 2018, a Venezuelan girl jumped off from the 9th floor. So far, we still don’t know why she decided to end her life this way and being so young at 23.
    Now I see the abandonment of that place and it makes you wonder if that building is hunted.

      The building functions as a condominium, however, the commercial area, as a commercial plaza, was a failure.

      i think it was a combination of things prices, cost of maintenance, the type of bussiness and public they were aiming at, it has a fine location overlooking the sea but is disconnected from its surrounding neighborhood which uninvites their day-to-day potential customers, (probably they were counting on the inhabitants of the residential towers to supply enough continuous affluence)

    I found this video because I was looking for information about my old job as security for that square in 2007 and I assure you that not only is the square also many places ghosts appear in the Malecón Center once I was working I was supervising and I found a child playing in the parking lot and I went to see where his parents were and out of nowhere I did not see the child again many of my friends managed to see the child in several shifts it was something very chilling that happened in different shifts😲

    I know very well the malecon center. Not only the mall área, also the apartments and office área in the parking, and the hotel besides.
    I have a lot of good memories from this complex. The upper apartments have a view of the sea like a cruise ship. Years before the mall have a good activity. I remember the cinema and restaurants. I remember the bars, pizzeria and luxury stores., I have good moments here. For me, is one of the most impressive buildings complex of the all city. And so beautiful, and so near to the sea. Is like a dream... really is a shame a beauty like this remains in a semi abandoned state in many of his áreas. Only the people of the private apartments and several business (like the bank and other offices) and the hotel maintain with life the all complex.
    I think this impressive and massive complex have an enormous potencial, and today only works with a minimal degree of his possibilities. Is a shame see this beauty in this condition.

I look whit nostalgic eyes the massibe malecon center every time i go in my bike trough the malecon ciclovia. Almost five times a week. Sometimes i go inside and remember the beautiful times for a while.

    In 05-07 it was booming and exciting. The Hilton had a hotel there and there was even a Tony Roma's. Both places moved to Bella Vista part of Distrito Nacional Santo Domingo. What killed it was the 07-08 recession. After that the values of the properties, money flow and customers just stopped coming and it never had a strong run of recovery right after the 03-04 inauguration. The apartments are pretty good. I know 5-6 ppl with several apartments there. Modern apartments with great views.

      the entrance to the apartment buildings is quite secured (lobby+security guards), so I wasnt able to enter to show you, but what I hear is that those apartments are quite luxurious! Its just the commercial plaza thats pretty much dead. This is a great location regardless of the mall area. If you and up booking the apt, please let us know how your stay was!
