Asking 30 to 40% below the calibrated Laureles transaction band with a structural reason to believe the spread is real, not a hidden flaw. Double-height units are rare in this part of Laureles and the seller is using time-limited urgency framing, which usually signals motivation. Medium-tier remodel sized to 140 to 160M COP, exit at 7.5 to 9M COP per m² supports IRR in the +22 to +48% annualized range over a 12-month hold. Loses two points because Laureles flip liquidity is thinner than Poblado and the top-floor loft combination narrows the buyer pool at exit.
Standard Medellín MTR doesn't pencil cleanly for 3 BR at this size — tenants concentrate in 1 BR and 2 BR. The loft and double-height ceilings flip part of that script: a furnished design-statement listing targeting design-conscious digital nomads, visiting UPB academics, and longer-term professionals on extended stays can hold an MTR premium that a commodity 3 BR can't. Realistic furnished monthly rate $1,800 to $2,300 USD once renovated, depending on finish and the quality of the photography. STR (Airbnb nightly) is almost certainly banned by the RPH — assume no until the building's bylaws confirm otherwise. The MTR thesis stands on its own.
If you want Laureles' character with more light and volume than the typical apartment in this price bracket delivers, this is the unit. Top-floor positioning, double-height ceilings, established neighborhood. Loses points because the loft layout doesn't work for every family, and the elevator stops at 5 — verify before assuming. The 113m² also commits a meaningful chunk of capital to a home format that's harder to resell than a standard 2BR.
◆ TWO WAYS TO READ THIS
AS AN INVESTMENT
The ask of 485M COP for 113 m2 works out to 4.29M per m2, far below the Laureles typical range of 6.3M to 7.1M. A renovated unit of this size prices at roughly 710M to 800M against today's range, so the spread to the ask is 220M to 310M. The unit is original condition with a full kitchen and bath scope ahead; the flip only works if the all-in renovation fits inside that spread, so price the works before the promesa, not after. The double-height loft layout narrows the conventional resale pool, but it is exactly the product that rents furnished to mid-term tenants in Laureles. Treat every figure here as a range against today's typical range, and verify the registered area and condition in person before underwriting.
AS A HOME
Acacias is the Laureles micro-zone you pick when you want walkability, mature trees, and noise levels below Provenza. The 5th-floor loft with double-height ceilings gives you the kind of light and volume that newer towers in El Poblado don't deliver at this price point. Walk to the Estadio commercial strip in 8 minutes; 15 minutes to Primer Parque de Laureles.
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.
6.4% – 11.6%
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.

Near-identical size (114m²), fully modernized by Primer Parque at 10.35M/m² — the renovated ceiling this loft sells into.
VIEW ORIGINAL ↗◆ CONDITION NOTES
Photos suggest the unit retains the original 1980s or 1990s build, with double-height ceilings as the defining architectural feature. Layout reads loft rather than conventional 3BR. Full renovation scope: kitchen and bathrooms will likely need replacement; electrical and plumbing should be inspected given build age; floors are a candidate for refresh. The doble altura is a feature, not a problem, but it constrains some renovation choices (no easy second floor add).
