Metroproyectos, a renowned shopping center developer in Guatemala, continues its growth with an exciting expansion in the northeast of the country. This time, it does so through a new project in the department of El Progreso, which is poised to become an engine of economic and social development for the region.

Guatemala, June 19, 2025. With a firm commitment to continue generating development in the interior of the country and improving the lives of the Guatemalan population, Metroproyectos enthusiastically announces the laying of the first stone of its 21st shopping center, Metroplaza El Rancho , a project that will mark a turning point for the municipality of San Agustín Acasaguastlán, in the department of El Progreso.

Located at kilometer 83 of the CA-9 North Highway, this new shopping center is projected to become a commercial, social, and economic landmark for the region. With an initial investment of $3.7 million, Metroplaza El Rancho will offer a modern, comprehensive, and accessible experience for all families in Northeast Mexico.

Metroplaza El Rancho will have a total construction area of ​​24,460 m² and a total leasable area of ​​8,250 m². The development will feature 35 commercial spaces, including 13 freestanding stores, a supermarket, a home goods store, and 21 convenience stores, offering a wide variety of options to suit all tastes and needs. In addition, it will include solar panels, bicycle parking, and a water reuse system to support, as always, the environment.

This shopping center represents a significant milestone for Metroproyectos and the community of El Progreso and its surrounding areas. Like all of the corporation's shopping centers, it will offer high-quality construction systems and finishes. Furthermore, it will generate more than 300 jobs during the construction phase and 470 permanent jobs once operational, fostering employment opportunities for local residents and boosting the local economy.

The first phase will be self-service, which will feature brands such as: Subway, Lai Lai, Hamburguesas Del Puente, Dunkin Donuts, Café Barista, Helados Sarita, among others, so that residents and visitors of the area can enjoy the quality of this commercial offering.

Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that, like all Metroproyectos shopping centers, Metroplaza El Rancho will offer more than 500 free parking spaces, facilitating access and providing convenience to our visitors, creating an accessible and attractive environment for everyone.
