In the early 2000s, after a 15-month effort, Grupo Aldesa obtained ISO 9001 certification which turned it into the first company of its kind in receiving this type of certification in Latin America. Currently, Grupo Aldesa boasts ISO 9000-2000 certification, the most recent update, covering its investment management and investment fund services, among others. No doubt this certification is highly significant not only to Grupo Aldesa itself but also to its customers and the market as a whole.

In 2001, Grupo Aldesa continued growing as a real estate developer by structuring and developing TERRAMALL, an innovative, forward-looking, unique project opened in east San José in November 2003.

Currently, Aldesa’s real-estate endeavors focus on developing Monte del Barco, a project located in one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful, high-potential areas: the Gulf of Papagayo. The project consists of acquiring a property, giving it value added, and building residential units to be sold as second homes to upscale customers in the U.S. A five-star hotel, complete with golf course and marina are among the project’s key attractions.

In line with its strategy to spread knowledge and expand service to regional markets, Grupo Aldesa has recently started a subsidiary in Panama, ALDESA CAPITALES, S.A., to promote its services there .

Throughout this 40-year period, Grupo Aldesa has evolved into a strong, reliable business firm highly experienced in managing third-party wealth through its four major business areas Investment Funds, Brokerage House, Investment Banking, and Real-estate Development,
