Carlotta – Barrio de Lagos

About

Carlotta is a gated community under development on Camino de los Horneros (km 1.5) in Canelones, promoted by Balsa & Asociados. It was presented in 2022 as a 100-hectare “lake neighbourhood” with four lakes totalling about 10 hectares of water, intended for non-motorised water sports.

The project has three stages: the first two with a total of 560 lots for houses and the third with 16 apartment buildings around a large lake. According to the press it will have four entrances, from Camino de los Horneros, Ruta 101, Camino Gonzalo Rodríguez and Camino La Reducción. Works began in March 2023 and completion was projected for 2026.

The first amenity is the 1.5-hectare Carlotta Racket Club, with padel, clay tennis and pickleball courts in its first phase; squash, indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and football pitches were also announced. The project is marketed with a sustainability angle: lots oriented for solar panels, native planting and green financing.

Sales were fast: about 60 lots went at a “Friends & Family” event, and by August 2023 85% of the 160 first-stage lots had been sold. Launch prices ranged from about U$D 140,000 to 265,000, and in 2023 U$D 150,000 to 310,000 were quoted. Most available images are project renders, so the progress of works should be checked on site.
