Where RISE's entrepreneurial spirit takes physical form. A cobblestone courtyard, a stone fountain, and a ring of ventures built by residents who couldn't sit still.
RISE didn't attract entrepreneurs by accident. It was designed for them. When you gather founders, creators, and builders in one place — and give them the infrastructure to act — ventures appear. Not because anyone mandated it, but because that's what creators do: they see a gap and fill it with something beautiful.
The Town Square is where that energy lives. A restored courtyard of converted stables, anchored by a stone fountain, where resident-led businesses serve the community and anyone who walks through the door.
The Stables is more than a café. It’s where mornings start and where neighbors become friends. Fresh croissants, pain au chocolat, artisan sourdough bread, and the best local coffee — enjoyed at tables scattered around the cobblestone square.
Inside, The Stables Market stocks the best local and organic products. Every Wednesday, organic farms deliver their orders here, and residents come to pick up their weekly supply of produce, honey, and handmade goods.
Artisanal sauces, craft chocolate, bulk grains and nuts, farm eggs, and small-batch pantry essentials. The market is curated with the same intention as the community: every product on these shelves has a story, a face, and a reason to be here.
No industrial brands. No plastic waste. Just the things you actually want in your kitchen.
The RISING Colectivo is a resident-run wellness boutique that brings together natural living and holistic care under one roof. Bulk shampoo and cleaning products: all natural, all refillable. An acupuncture center for holistic wellness and rejuvenation.
It's the kind of place that could only exist in a community built on shared values.
The Town Square was designed to grow. New resident-led businesses are already in the works — but we can't tell you about them just yet. When your neighbors are founders and creators, there is always something new being built.
For residents who run businesses from anywhere in the world, the co-working studio provides fiber-optic internet, private offices, and shared workspaces — all with valley views.
Step outside for a coffee at The Stables. Step back in to close the deal. That's the rhythm here.
At RISE, entrepreneurship is a way of seeing the world. The families here don't just consume — they create. They see a gap and fill it. They share an idea over coffee, and a few months later it’s open for business.
When you curate a community by values, people don't just live next to each other. They build alongside each other.
The Stables and The RISING Colectivo were created by community members, for the community. No franchises. No outside investors. Just residents solving real needs.
The Town Square, co-working studio, and commercial village provide the physical spaces. The entrepreneurial density of the community provides the energy.
Residents from 20+ nations bring global perspectives and professional networks. But every venture here is rooted in serving this community first.
"We didn't come here to retire. We came here to build. The Town Square is proof that when you give purpose-driven people the right environment, they create things that didn't exist before."
David Comfort · Founder, RISE Costa Rica
The Town Square has room for more. If you're the kind of person who builds rather than waits, we'd like to hear from you.
