I Didn't Expect THIS From a Dominican Republic City!

I’ve spent years covering life, real estate, and opportunity in the Dominican Republic — and I’ll be honest, I was completely wrong about this city.

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of Santiago de los Caballeros, a Dominican city quietly transforming with major infrastructure, modern transit, healthcare investment, luxury real estate, and serious capital flowing in. From a $300M airport expansion to a brand-new monorail system, this is a side of the Caribbean most people never see.

If you’ve only thought about the Dominican Republic through the lens of resorts and beaches, this video will challenge that mental model.
