Why Maracaibo

When oil money built a city—then left.

Maracaibo wasn't always struggling. For most of the 20th century, it was one of the wealthiest cities in Latin America. Oil revenues built modern infrastructure, premium residential zones, and commercial districts.

The collapse hit Maracaibo harder than Caracas. The city that petroleum built watched petroleum leave. But the infrastructure remained: The lake. The bridge. The neighborhoods designed for executives.

Now energy dynamics are shifting. Production is reactivating. Maracaibo's recovery won't happen overnight, but the assets are priced for a future that's starting to arrive.

02. Direct Regional Impact

Zulia feels expansion first. Jobs, services, housing demand. The multiplier effect is immediate.

Near the border. As trade routes reopen, geographic position becomes a critical asset.
