The proposed Esencia megaproject in Punta Melones, Cabo Rojo, spearheaded by foreign firms Reuben Brothers and Three Rules Capital, aims to develop 2,000 acres of protected ecological land (SREP-E) into a luxury community. Plans include 900 elite residences, 5 hotels, 2 golf courses, a private airport, and other facilities, potentially threatening over 100 archaeological sites and critical ecosystems between Boquerón Bay, Combate, and nearby wildlife refuges. Critics argue this development endangers Puerto Rico’s southwestern region by privatizing public resources and damaging protected areas.
