About Punta Colorada

Punta Colorada (Inversiones Punta Colorada S.A.) is a Chilean family-owned land company. For solar, wind, battery storage (BESS) and transmission projects, we screen sites, review title with your Chilean counsel or ours, negotiate land options, leases and easements with landowners, and record them with the Conservador de Bienes Raíces, the local land registry. We own Estancia El Chañar in the Coquimbo Region.

Ingeniero Comercial (a five-year Chilean degree in business and economics). He has led the company’s contract negotiations since 2018.

The company and the family

Our founder bought the estate in La Higuera in the early 2000s for a fruit-growing project. The orchards failed, and we leased land on the estate for a wind farm. Since then we have negotiated and administered the contracts listed in our track record.

The company is run by its founder and the family’s second generation. On Estancia El Chañar we act as the landowner: we lease land, grant land options and easements, and administer those contracts. We do not develop projects.

Independence rules

  • Paid only by our client

    We work for one party per engagement, and we put that in writing before we start. We do not buy lease income or take land options in our own name.

  • Our own land is a separate matter

    If Estancia El Chañar could suit your project, we tell you up front. In that conversation we act as landowners, not as your advisors, and project counsel is your own.

  • No legal, tax or investment advice

    Legal advice comes from your Chilean counsel or an outside lawyer we work with, and tax advice from your accountant.

Start with the project basics

The technology, approximate capacity in MW, region and project stage are enough for a first call.
