Founded in 2002 by the firm’s founder and Chairman, Mr. Federico Stubbe, TASIS Dorado offers a world-class education from Pre-K to 12th grade. TASIS Dorado is the third campus operated by The American School in Switzerland, with main campus in Lugano, Switzerland and a second one in London.

In Florida, PRISA completed the Spring Hill Suites and Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando in Millenia and the AC Hotel by Marriott in the Westshore district of Tampa, Florida. The AC Hotel opened in January 2018 and the Spring Hill Suites and Residence Inn opened in April 2018. In June 2020, PRISA completed the Element by Westin Orlando on International Drive.

PRISA is also the developer of DISTRITO T-Mobile.  DISTRITO T-Mobile sets the bar high as the most innovative entertainment destination in Puerto Rico and the mainland United States, providing unique local experiences by combining exceptional offerings inclusive of a performance venue, dining, art, entertainment, music, technology, and hospitality offerings. Officially inaugurated August 2021, the 476,691 square-foot complex features a multi-use performance hall with a capacity for over 5,000 people, the Coca-Cola Music Hall; the 177-key Aloft San Juan Hotel; Caribbean Cinemas VIP theaters; TOROVERDE Urban Park, and 10 unique food and beverage concepts.

 

DISTRITO T-Mobile has received over 4 million visitors since its opening in 2021 and has generated approximately 4,000 jobs, directly and indirectly, during its construction and operation (with nearly 1,200 direct jobs currently in its operating phase). 

With an investment of $107 million and a collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, PRISA Group recently completed the construction and development of Sabanera Health, the new state-of-the-art hospital facility that has already begun to raise the standards of care on the island and will maximize its potential as a medical tourism hub for the region.

Sabanera Health is a unique health offering in Puerto Rico with enhanced clinical programs and the consulting and educational expertise of Johns Hopkins Medicine. The medical center incorporates a total of 104 rooms; with eight (8) Intensive Care Units, two (2) Neonatal Intensive Care Units, 79 private rooms for a single patient and 15 suites. Sabanera Health also incorporates hotel-style features like inviting lobby spaces, warm lighting, signage and wayfinding, and local art throughout. A predominant design approach for PRISA has been “nature as healer” with increased access to daylight and panoramic views of nature through oversized windows in patient rooms, as well as a large central healing garden to the open air that welcomes patients and can be seen from all public areas of the hospital. Sabanera Health opened in the spring of 2022.

FINE ARTS

arte_Fits Foundation, a non-profit art organization at Dorado Beach, is a pioneer in the production of ephemeral art on the island, inspired by Land-art, expanding its boundaries to projects that establish a dialogue between art and nature.  The foundation supports contemporary local and international artists by helping them reach their maximum potential, allowing them to go beyond the conceptual and formal elements of their regular frame of work, resulting in unique exhibitions within our projects and communities. For more information: www.artefits.org

MUSIC

PRISA believes that music encourages creativity, discipline, leadership, connection, and overall wellbeing.  Our initiatives are targeted at helping local musicians and artist develop professionally by offering venues where they can perform, providing guidance on how to navigate the business aspect of the music industry, and providing the technology for them to reach their fullest potential.

EDUCATION

PRISA firmly believes that education is one of the most important factors that influences the development of individuals and society.  In 2002, our Chairman, Federico “Friedel” Stubbe with educator Fernando González, founded TASIS Dorado, a renown private independent school, with the goal of providing a world-class education to all children.  PRISA Scholar is a program that provides scholarship and financial assistance to our employee’s children in TASIS Dorado. 

 

PRISA also believes that beautiful and better surroundings can improve student’s outcomes, reduces dropout rates, and increases emotional wellbeing of students and faculty members, among other benefits.  PRISA proudly sponsors our local school Luisa Valderrama Martínez with different projects that positive impact the students, faculty members and community.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

PRISA has been a pioneer in developing green communities and resorts in Puerto Rico. At PRISA we strongly believe in environmentally responsible development. This core value has shaped the planning, design, and construction of all our developments. Our master planning skills are founded in years of shaping the land and building habitats for people and nature to coexist and grow.

From the beginning of development, we are committed to respect a property’s history and enhance its natural qualities.  To date, all our community and resort developments have maintained a 50% green area footprint. PRISA is an innovator in green land development practices, with designs that focus on functional sustainable landscaping, storm water retention and aquifer recharge, and creating habitats where people can enjoy and be a part of nature.

Overall, all our communities and spaces are built in harmony with the environment and that fosters a favorable climate for the development of an optimal and happy quality of life.  It has been proven that being surrounded by nature reduces stress, increases pleasant feelings, and can have a positive impact on human’s mental, emotional, and physical health.
