Costa Rica said Wednesday it’s ready to buy two Cau Dormitories, one of which would be the country’s largest.
The Cau is the nation’s largest public housing complex, with 3.2 million beds and a population of 727,000.
Costa Rica’s Housing Minister, Carlos Pardo, told reporters that he had not received the final contract for the building.
Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla said Wednesday that the country has received the deal and is in talks with developers to develop the complex.
The two Caus have been used by Costa Rica to house students and residents of Cau University.
