New in La Libertad: El Encuentro Mall Grand Opening and Highlights
On September 5th, we joined the BAMBU Developers for the grand opening of El Encuentro Mall in La Libertad. This highly anticipated shopping and dining destination is set to revitalize the area, offering visitors a wide range of retail, entertainment, and culinary options. The event was filled with excitement, marking a new chapter in La Libertad’s growth as a key location for commerce and leisure.
A New Hub for Shopping and Services
El Encuentro Mall is already making an impact with Super Selectos, one of El Salvador’s most popular supermarkets, now open and serving the community. But this is just the beginning. Soon, the mall will feature an exciting lineup of restaurants, including the highly anticipated Starbucks Coffee, providing a perfect spot for locals and visitors to enjoy their favorite brews.
In addition, Dollar City, a budget-friendly retailer, will offer a variety of goods, making shopping more convenient for the area. The mall will also house essential services like banks, pharmacies, a veterinary clinic, a dentist, and even a beauty salon—everything you need, all in one place. El Encuentro is set to become a one-stop destination that enhances the quality of life in La Libertad, reflecting the area’s continued growth and modernization.
“At Bambu, we are committed to decentralizing the capital city, aiming to bring well-being, employment, and convenience to different cities across the country”
said Carlos Figueroa, president of the construction company behind El Encuentro shopping centers.
A Look Ahead: Loft Sunset View
In addition to its commercial offerings, El Encuentro Mall will soon feature Loft Sunset View, a luxury condominium project that is currently under construction. This unique development will include 7 exclusive lofts, each with a private terrace, offering beautiful ocean views over San Blas. Designed with first-class amenities, the lofts provide a modern, sophisticated living experience in the heart of La Libertad.
Perfectly positioned within the El Encuentro commercial center, Loft Sunset View combines convenience and luxury, located just 30 minutes from San Salvador, a quick drive from La Libertad port, and only 20 minutes from El Zonte. This project reflects the ongoing growth and development in the area, making La Libertad an even more desirable place to live and invest.
