// KEY FACTS
◆ PRIMARY STRATEGY · FLIP
Editorial judgments, 1 to 10, set by the curator. Not algorithmic. See methodology →
The math has real headroom. Asking 4.17M COP per m² puts this 32 to 39% below the calibrated Laureles transaction band. A 200M COP renovation that preserves the 5-meter wood ceilings as the design statement (recommended) and modernizes the kitchen, bathrooms, and finishes targets an exit at 7 to 8M COP per m². Annualized IRR lands in the +21 to +43% range over a 12-month hold after 3% commission and 10% capital gains tax. Renovation budget should include 3 to 5M COP to dispose of the seller's furniture, which is throwaway despite the "amoblado" framing on the listing. Loses points because Laureles exit liquidity is thinner than Poblado and the wood-ceiling commitment constrains the resale buyer pool to design-conscious end-users — a flipper who closes them off can save renovation cost but loses the only feature that justifies a premium exit.
◆ TWO WAYS TO READ THIS
Buy near asking at 660M COP (3 to 5% negotiation off the 680M ask), invest 200M in a character-preserving renovation that includes 3 to 5M COP for disposal of the seller's throwaway furniture, exit at 7 to 8M COP per m² for an annualized IRR of +21% to +43% over a 12-month hold. Alternative: hold and rent furnished MTR at $1,900 to $2,300 USD monthly to design-conscious nomads, visiting academics, and longer-term professionals, with net post-tax yield in the 4.8% to 5.7% range. Stage the unit yourself; do not plan around the seller's furniture.
Live in one of Laureles' quieter residential corners — walking distance to UPB, public transport, the commercial spine, and the Segundo Parque itself. The 5-meter wood ceilings and parquet floors give the unit a character that modern Laureles towers don't deliver. Plan to dispose of the seller's furniture as part of move-in (it's throwaway despite the "amoblado" listing). Loses ground for an owner who wants a contemporary aesthetic; preserving the ceiling character means committing to a specific design vocabulary across the renovation choices.
What La Lonja recorded for your zone. Not a forecast for this listing.
La Lonja’s 265 Edition reported Zona 4 (Laureles-Estadio, La América, San Javier) apartment valorization at 6.63% in 2024. Citywide post-COVID 4-year apartment geometric mean sits near 7.1%.
Figures are nominal COP; real appreciation in high-inflation years (~13% in 2022, ~5% in 2024) is lower.
Appreciation figures: La Lonja de Propiedad Raíz de Medellín y Antioquia (2024 zone-level apartment index, 2025 land study). Context from Camacol Antioquia (trade group) and DANE / Banco de la República. We show the range. We do not predict which one happens.
// ESTIMATED REMODEL COST
Range covers a full unit remodel, set by the curator using contractor quote data for this neighborhood and condition class.
4.6% – 8.4%
Range assumes professional management at 22% plus sales tax (IVA), 20% withholding tax, 7.5% exit yield, and renovated condition.
Lower bound reflects conservative occupancy (75%) and lower-tier finish. Upper bound assumes strong occupancy (88%+) and premium finish targeting professional medium-term rental tenants. Estimates, not guarantees.

◆ CONDITION NOTES
Premium finishes per the listing description: parquet floors, marble counter integrated kitchen, 9 closets, glass-cabin bathrooms with tempered glass, 5-meter wood ceilings, gas line, water heater, wide balcony, separate utility room and parking. Listed as "amoblado" but the seller's furniture is throwaway and should be budgeted for disposal (3 to 5M COP). Building has daytime portería, trash chute, CCTV, intercom. Built area 139m² with 163m² total including parking and utility room. The 200M COP renovation budget targets a premium update that preserves the 5-meter wood ceiling character — kitchen and bathroom refresh, finish modernization, electrical and plumbing inspection given the build aesthetic. The character ceiling is a feature, not a problem, but it constrains some renovation choices.

// How we got this number
Adjusted asking-comp estimate. Not an appraisal.
163m² premium-finished 3 BR with 5m wood ceilings near Segundo Parque universities (UPB) and public transport is the shape MTR demand looks for in Laureles. The MTR tenant pool here is design-conscious digital nomads, traveling academics on UPB-adjacent stints, and longer-term professionals — not relocation executives, who concentrate in Poblado and pay for STR-permitted boutique inventory. Furnished monthly rate $1,900 to $2,300 USD once you stage the unit yourself (the seller's furniture is throwaway and gets disposed of as part of renovation). Net post-tax yield 4.8% to 5.7% on the all-in basis after 22% plus IVA management, vacancy, HOA, and 20% non-resident withholding tax. STR (Airbnb nightly) almost certainly banned by the building's RPH — assume no until confirmed in writing.
Segundo Parque is one of Laureles' quieter residential corners with strong walkability to the commercial spine, universities (UPB), and public transport. The 5-meter wood ceilings give the unit a character newer Laureles towers don't deliver. Premium finishes already in place: parquet floors, marble counter integrated kitchen, 9 closets, glass-cabin bathrooms, gas line. Sold furnished so move-in friction is minimal. Loses ground for an owner who wants a contemporary aesthetic — preserving the ceiling character means committing to a specific design vocabulary, and modernizing the kitchen and baths without flattening the character takes real curator discipline.
