About

La Cañada is the gated residential part of Distrito 52, a 52-hectare mixed-use development in the El Jagüel area, on Avenida Aparicio Saravia and Avenida Pedragosa Sierra. The neighbourhood covers about 38 hectares with 269 lots of 700 to 1,200 m² in 19 blocks, making it one of the largest in the department. The masterplan is by Gómez Platero.

The rest of Distrito 52 is open to the public: it houses North Schools and the Car One Center shopping centre, with offices, apartments and a Hampton by Hilton hotel planned. The developer places it five minutes from the Peninsula, central Maldonado and La Barra, with direct access to the road to Montevideo.

Shared areas add up to more than 10 hectares of parks and lakes, with trails through pine woods. There is a club house with pool, a gym, tennis, padel and football courts, a co-working space and a yoga area. Streets are paved, utilities run underground, there is mains sewerage, access control and 24-hour security.

In February 2026 the official lot map showed 27 lots available and 23 reserved, with the rest sold. Listed lots were around U$D 190,000–220,000, and the project offers HSBC financing for land and construction. By late 2025 more than a dozen houses were under construction and several finished, with most buyers planning to live there year-round.
