The Casa de Campo community mourns Alfonso Paniagua’s passing on 29 November 2023. Paniagua had retired in 2017 from his position of executive vice president and general manager for Costasur Dominicana, a Central Romana division. He joined Costasur in 1975, leading it to become the largest Dominican gated community and a global standard-setter. Paniagua was highly regarded for his leadership, wisdom, and keeping his doors open to Casa de Campo homeowners to resolve issues and improve the community that today has five golf courses and more than 2,500 homes.
Paniagua was also a former president of the American Chamber of Commerce, Association of Foreign Investment Companies (Asiex), and former member of the boards of the National Business Council, PUCMM university and Dominican Association of Tourism Enterprises (Adeti).
