INTRODUCTION -
Around the year 1766, during the Spanish colonialization of Peru, just steps from the main plaza of the city of Arequipa, the construction began on one the most valuable colonial mansions of the city, the Casona Ugarte. For its distinguished design, this architectural marvel, registered in the National Cultural Institute (INC), and declared a Cultural Patrimony to Humanity by UNESCO at the start of the 21st century, has withstood total collapse from seismic activity.
While some minor structural faults existed, in October, 2003, SEPA del Peru, NGO dedicated to social development in the areas of education and cultural protection, began restoration of this historic monument, inspiring a grand period of restoration of many historic buildings throughout the city. With pure heart, respecting the artistic and architectural aspects, SEPA del Peru has accomplished the recuperation of the majority of this unique property.
Colonial period religious murals and ceiling paintings from the Republican Period were discovered, respected and protected, all of which give an added value to this important property. The work done was thanks to the patience and pride of dozens of Peruvian artisans with the technical support of foreign consultants with the objective of achieving an unequaled restoration of the property.
Today, SEPA del Peru has as its goal to expand its vision and looks to sell this beautiful property of 1,332 m2, to an individual or group who can continue to follow the pure intentions to restore the cultural, historic, architectonic, and commercial value of the property.
The location of the property is ideal for an international cultural center or hotel. Over 10,000 people pass by this monument daily. It is located only a few steps from the city’s Main Plaza and much restoration of properties in the area have taken place over the past three years, increasing the value of this area of the city.
ECONOMIC AND TOURIST DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA-
The city of Arequipa has dramatically increased its role as a service city for travel and tourism over the past 10 years, with its impressively diverse local and international cuisine and charming accommodations. As well, the completion of the Inter-oceanic Highway from Brazil will strategically place Arequipa as a major provider of services and other benefits in support of this innovative project.
In 2006, the Peruvian Stock Exchange, achieved the honor of having the world’s highest global investment returns thanks to the strength of its currency and major developments in the mining sector. Throughout the last 12 years, the stability of Peru’s economic situation has reached one of the highest levels of confidence in Latin America and is currently in the process of signing a new Free Trade Agreement with the USA, document which has already passed the US House of Representative and a vote in the US senate by Dec.5th, 2007, and which is expected to become law by the end of this year.
The alpaca fiber as well has its roots in the city of Arequipa. The city has been known for decades as being the world’s center for alpaca trade and development of this and other delicately outstanding South American camelid fiber.
Over the past two years, the majority of antique
non-religious Colonial mansions in Arequipa have been purchased for restoration. Sadly, in many cases, the Architectural integrity of these building has not been preserved. Contractors have destroyed much of the historical and cultural value for commercial and economic gain. Certainly the availability of properties so close to the city’s main square does not exist and definitely none with as large of an area as the Casona Ugarte.
CONCLUSIONS-
There is still work to be done and credit to be received for the culmination of restoration of the Casona Ugarte. IT IS AN IDEAL PROJECT FOR MORE DESPERATELY NEEDED QUALITY HOTELS NEAR THE CITY CENTER. An adjoining car park with an additional 2,000 sq metres is also available for 2 million US (contact for more info).
SEPA del Peru will also be happy to provide any technical support and help to organize local laborers and artisans who are capable of making the Casona Ugarte one of the most renowned centerpieces of any financial and cultural portfolio.
Few are lucky or blessed enough to have under their charge a historical monument with such attractive architectonic attributes as the Caosna Ugarte. Yet this also constitutes a serious responsibility to the structure and the cultural heritage of the property. Do you or your corporation have what it takes to take on such a responsibility?
If so, please feel free to communicate with me directly in English or Spanish, and I would be happy to answer any of your questions.
