Yes. Condominios (condos), apartamentos (apartments), residencias (residences), cooperativas (co-ops) and proyectos (projects) – many Puerto Ricans refer only to the building or complex name when asked their address. Similar to the 50 States such as 8903 Presidential Parkway is also known as Washington Plaza 1. Some of these addresses are referenced in the USPS file but most are not. SeekData has compiled a data set of all known condo, apartments, buildings, residencias, cooperatives and projects. Other descriptors such as the edificio (building) number, apartamento number, proyecto number, building name, tower or torre number and street may be required to assign the correct geocode to these addresses.
