VRM Companies devela la escultura ‘A Orillas del Río’ y celebra el renacer de Ciudad Jardín Gurabo

PRESS RELEASE - Wed, 17 Jun 2026 20:20:43

— En el marco de su 50.º aniversario, la desarrolladora obsequia a la comunidad una obra del reconocido escultor Luis Torruella, símbolo del rescate de un proyecto que permaneció abandonado por quince años —

GURABO, PR — 17 de junio de 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — VRM Companies celebrará este jueves, 18 de junio a las 5:30pm, junto a los residentes de Ciudad Jardín Gurabo, la develación de “A Orillas del Río”, una escultura del artista puertorriqueño Luis Torruella que la empresa obsequia a la comunidad. La actividad se llevará a cabo en el área del Club House de The River Village, en Ciudad Jardín Gurabo, y reunirá a familias, vecinos e invitados en torno al arte y a la transformación de una comunidad que hace pocos años se encontraba en estado de abandono.

Se espera la asistencia de más de 300 residentes que ya han confirmado su participación, así como de la honorable Vilmarie Peña, alcaldesa de Gurabo, del escultor Luis Torruella y de varios miembros del equipo de VRM, en un compartir comunitario y celebratorio de los avances alcanzados trabajando en comunidad.

Durante cerca de quince años, Ciudad Jardín Gurabo permaneció en estado de deterioro y abandono. Más de 500 familias que ya residían en la comunidad quedaron atrapadas en un entorno de áreas comunes descuidadas, instalaciones en ruinas y valores de propiedad en descenso. El Golf Club House —cuya titularidad se encontraba en manos de terceros y no de los propios residentes— yacía vandalizado y en desuso, junto a un campo de golf abandonado, canchas de tenis en desuso y una caseta de entrada deteriorada.

En 2021, VRM Companies asumió un compromiso que iba mucho más allá de construir y vender viviendas nuevas. La empresa inició una transformación integral —ejecutada en plena pandemia y con una inflación de costos de construcción sin precedentes— orientada a devolverle la dignidad y el valor a toda la comunidad.

Uno de los logros más significativos fue el rescate del Golf Club House, hoy llamado The River Village. VRM gestionó que su titularidad, que estaba en manos de terceros, pasara finalmente a la Asociación Matriz de Titulares, devolviéndoles a los residentes el control de una facilidad y convirtiendo lo que era una estructura abandonada y en desuso en un espacio donde operan múltiples comercios y operadores que atienden las necesidades de los residentes y de la comunidad en general, con servicios de primera que enriquecen la calidad de vida y aportan a la economía de Gurabo y de Puerto Rico. A la par, las canchas abandonadas dieron paso a un nuevo Racket Club con tenis, pickleball y beach tennis, la caseta de entrada fue ampliada y modernizada, y las áreas comunes fueron rehabilitadas por completo.

El impacto alcanzó por igual a las familias nuevas a quienes VRM les vendió su hogar y a las familias que ya vivían en Ciudad Jardín desde antes. Hoy, lo que durante años fue sinónimo de abandono es una comunidad con plusvalía, servicios y vida, sin que la transformación representara cargas adicionales para sus residentes.

Cuando VRM Companies llegó en 2021, Ciudad Jardín Gurabo contaba con unas 519 familias. Hoy, más de 1,000 familias disfrutan de una comunidad de primera, gracias a la entrega de viviendas de calidad y estilo resort en los complejos River Terrace, River View y River Estates. Aun frente a un alza histórica en los costos de construcción, estos complejos representan la mejor opción de vivienda asequible entre los proyectos de mercado para la clase media en todo Puerto Rico, con diversos productos con precios promedio que rondan los $300,000 y los $400,000.

“En VRM Companies creemos que el buen desarrollo es aquel que no solo beneficia a quienes compran una vivienda, sino que enaltece un lugar para el beneficio de una comunidad extendida. Hoy Gurabo cuenta con un destino de primera clase que mientras enaltece la vida comunitaria, atrae actividad comercial, fortalece la base contributiva y proyecta una imagen de progreso para toda la región. Respaldamos esta transformación con inversión, compromiso y, sobre todo, con nuestra palabra; y el resultado está hoy a la vista de todos.”

— Rafael E. Rojo, Presidente y principal oficial ejecutivo de VRM Companies

La escultura “A Orillas del Río” corona esta historia. A través de líneas libres y fluidas que se entrelazan hasta formar la letra “R”, la obra de Torruella evoca el río que abraza la comunidad y resume el espíritu de su transformación: el Rescate de un proyecto abandonado, la Resiliencia de haberlo logrado en tiempos adversos y el Renacer de una comunidad que hoy celebra la vida en armonía con la naturaleza.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

John 13:34–35 | Jeremiah 29:11

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
