PANAMA CITY-A privately owned British firm will develop the 2,750-acre former Howard Air Force Base on the banks of the Panama Canal. London & Regional Properties, which is owned by Ian and Richard Livingstone, beat out 16 other bidders, including Miami-based property firm Easton Group, the only other firm to make it to the final round. The selection was made this week, two years after the Panamanian Government invited the World Bank to run an auction to select a developer for the site.

Given the site’s location between the Panama Canal, through which 60% of trade in and out of the US passes, and the Pan American highway, which runs from South America to California, the $700-milion project will include a new multimodal port that will encompass the air-strip, the canal and include massive warehouse-distribution facilities for goods that pass through the canal. The property is also earmarked for thousands of new homes, hotels, a golf course and science park.
