Costa Rica Invest Announces a Price Rise of 31% in Finca Di Pacifico Dos, their Unique Teak and Development Land Opportunity
Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) July 8, 2009
Costa Rica Invest’s premier project Finca Di Pacifico Dos is an ideally located teak plantation overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya and on the Pan-American Highway halfway between the two international airports of San Jose and Liberia. The land is currently being subdivided on the Cadastral (land registry) and each lot will come with permission to construct one holiday villa.
A teak plantation with 12 to 14 year old teak Finca Di Pacifico Dos represents an ideal investment or future development opportunity.
The returns from the teak growing on each development lot provides a secure return whilst the land has the potential to provide spectacular returns or the lot owner can develop their own holiday villa on their own piece of paradise.
In line with other land prices and progress towards cadastral registration prices in Finca Di Pacifico Dos have increased by between 21% and 31%.
The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, a research and advisory company providing country, industry and management analysis worldwide, has published a study titled “Manning the Barricades, who’s at risk as deepening economic distress foments social unrest” In this report the no 1. emerging economy in Central America, Costa Rica, is ranked the 7th most politically and socially stable country in the world. In this report The Economist issued a detailed forecast outlining the current world economic crisis and its possible effects on political stability in 165 countries worldwide. Within the report individual countries where ranked for vulnerability to political instability.
Costa Rica is still a developing nation but with more teachers than policemen, ranked 5th in the world in terms of environmental performance, plans to be carbon neutral as a nation by 2021, no army, and a stable democracy it represents an incredible investment opportunity.
Costa Rica also boasts a stable national banking system that didn’t get involved in the high-risk lending practices experienced in other countries.
Of course the Costa Rican economy has not been unaffected by global economic conditions but Costa Rica’s stability continues to attract foreign investment, and has kept domestic and foreign driven construction projects online even as funding sources have become more conservative. The IMF predicts that Costa Rica will recover quickly from the Global Financial Crises and Costa Rica Invest offers a unique opportunity to invest in and benefit from Costa Rica’s future growth.
James Cahill, Managing Director, comments on the Economist Intelligence Unit report “whilst many people may be surprised to see that Costa Rica features as the 7th most politically stable country worldwide with one of the lowest chances of social unrest being caused by the current global economic conditions, it comes as no surprise to us. Costa Rica is the principal emerging economy in Central America building on many years of stable democracy. This stability and security will encourage further inward investment into Costa Rica, further economic growth and ensure further great returns for our investors. Finca Di Pacifico Dos is now 83% sold as more investors become aware of the incredible medium term investment opportunity which we offer.”
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also has very positive news about Costa Rica with Miquel Savastano, Assistant Director of the IMF (International Monetary Funds) Western Hemisphere region, predicting that Costa Rica will be one of the first countries whose economies will recover in 2010. He bases these predictions on the sound financial and fiscal policies of the Costa Rican Government and Costa Rican central bank whose fiscal policies the IMF fully endorses.
More positive news comes from Nicolas Eyazaguirre, Director of the IMF Western Hemisphere region who is quoted as saying “Latin America in general will experience a quicker recovery than the larger economies” because “many countries in the region have responded to the crises with policies that boost production and employment. The outstanding feature being that six months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, no Latin American financial system has experienced a banking crisis. Liquidity is good and Latin American banks have little dependence on foreign financing.”
In December 2008 the IMF reported about Costa Rica “the country can confront the challenging global environment from a position of relative strength. The prudent fiscal stance of recent years provides the authorities with some room for maneuver”
Costa Rica Invest specialises in eco-friendly, ethical, high yield investments. All projects are based in the best locations in Costa Rica, consisting of plots of development land with an environmentally friendly angle. Their current development in ‘Di Pacifico Dos’ combines a teak commodity investment traded in USD on plots of land zoned for development. With a double investment in locations where land prices are increasing rapidly, backed by a sound commodity that is constantly ‘growing’, is it any wonder they have so many repeat investors creating wealth naturally?

Costa Rica Real Estate Development Hacienda Matapalo Receives Permits for Entrance: to be First Major Permitted Project in Booming Region
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 19, 2009
Costa Rica real estate development Hacienda Matapalo has received construction and operating permits to begin the landmark entrance project to the property in Costa Rica. The permits were granted by the municipal government. Nestled in a RainForest, on a mountain, overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the location of Hacienda Matapalo, which was the first large scale project to be approved in the region by Setena (the Environmental Regulatory Commission of Costa Rica). The site work and construction activities have begun and the excavation for footings and foundations are in progress. The infrastructure is scheduled for completion by the end of April 2010, and residential construction to begin in 2010.
Hacienda Matapalo meets or exceeds very stringent environmental and conservation standards established by the regulatory agencies of the Costa Rican government. “Designing an environmentally friendly development that meets all the environmental concerns has been a major accomplishment for our engineering and permitting staff,” stated Brian Albury, Managing Member and Vice President of Planning for Hacienda Matapalo. “We are pleased to confirm that our project will meet all or exceed all environmental standards,” added Albury.
Hacienda Matapalo has already exceeded $ 50 million dollars in sales, making it the most successful Pre-Construction Real Estate property in Costa Rica. The anticipated sellout of the project is expected to be in the $ 300 million dollar range from the sale of houses, villas, and condos. The project will also contain the first regional shopping center on the soon to be paved Costanera (Pacific Coast) Highway.
Location of this project has been instrumental in maximizing sales due to the proximity of this location to the new hospital, marina, and newly announced international airport to be located in this lush region of Costa Rica. The success of the project has been accelerated by the amenities of this gated wonderland including: resort style clubhouse, beach club, equestrian center, and the newly expanded private nature preserve.
The Development team of Hacienda Matapalo is headed by Miguel Wong, one of the leading architects in Costa Rica. His team includes the firm of Indeca Engineering, and numerous environmental and biological experts that are cataloging all of the foliage and animal life currently on the property. The professional services team is further enhanced by the services of the Pacheco Coto Law Firm and the Price Waterhouse Coopers accounting firm.
Hacienda Matapalo has completed the largest hurdles of the permitting process including that of the approval by Setena. The submission of the project to the “Fast Track program saved us over a year in the application process” stated Costa Rica based partner Edwin Acosta. The permitting process is a long and complex process. Numerous governmental agencies participate in the approval process. The next permits pending final approval will be those for the infrastructure including electric, water, and sewer systems. The water permit is further complicated by the donation of water from the springs of Hacienda Matapalo to the neighboring town of Hatillo and the infrastructure necessary for the delivery of the natural spring water to the residents of the town.

Costa Rica’s Most Successful Luxury Resort Development Launches Altavista Los Sue?os Residences
Costa Rica’s Most Successful Luxury Resort Development Launches Altavista Los Sueños Residences
Herradura Bay, Costa Rica (PRWEB) October 21, 2010
Los Sueños Resort and Marina, an 1,100-acre master planned destination community, will begin construction on the Altavista Los Sueños condominium residences in December 2010. Located at Herradura Bay on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, Los Sueños is a perfect escape for those who seek understated luxury and a comfortable lifestyle in a tropical climate or are looking to invest in a vacation home in increasingly popular Central America.
Los Sueños Resort & Marina currently features a private 600-acre rainforest reserve; the 201-room five-star Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort; a full-service, 200-slip international marina; an exclusive Beach Club for residents; and the 18-hole La Iguana championship golf course. With over 500 luxury single-family homes, lots, condominiums and villas already sold, Los Sueños begins construction on Altavista Los Sueños. Consisting of three-bedroom condominium residences ranging from 1,750 to 2,100 square feet and priced from $ 589,000 to $ 749,000, Altavista Los Sueños epitomizes the affordable comfort, convenience and luxury for which Los Sueños is known.
“Our goal with Altavista Los Sueños was to create a new collection of high-quality ocean view residences that responded to today’s market demands,” says developer William Royster. “Altavista will complement our existing community and will offer owners the same great access to a world-class, award-winning resort and Costa Rica’s first government-sanctioned, full-service international marina.”
Altavista Los Sueños joins the development’s exclusive portfolio of luxury resort residences that range from one, two and three bedroom condominiums to single-family homes. All Los Sueños residences feature phenomenal views of the resort, golf course and rainforest reserve and some include remarkable views of Los Sueños’ handsomely designed international marina and the awe-inspiring expanse of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast, famous for dramatic sunsets. Other Los Sueños communities include Riviera and Malibu at Altamira, Marbella Condominiums at Altamira, Montebello Residences at Altamira, Colina Condominiums, Del Mar Condominiums and Bay Residences at Del Mar.
Los Sueños Resort and Marina is the most successful resort development in Central America with record-breaking home sales, a marina that is considered the best in Latin America for its world-class facilities and renowned bill fishery, and the highly acclaimed Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort. The next eight years will see the completion of the remaining phases of Los Sueños, including the final phase of Marina Village, several hundred additional luxury residences and the construction of an eco-lodge in the rainforest reserve.
Spectacular natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere attract a growing number of travelers, investors and home buyers to Costa Rica every year. Nine active volcanoes, diverse forest environments, hot springs, wetlands, lakes, island reserves and 600 miles of beaches on two coasts provide endless possibilities for activities ranging from hiking and white water rafting through national parks to surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving off the Pacific and Caribbean shores. The world leader in ecological protected areas, with 27% of its land mass designated as national parks or reserves, Costa Rica affords the unparalleled opportunity to see and live among colorful and fascinating birds and animals in their natural habitat.

Villas Tranquilas A Costa Rica Vacation Rental Gives Back to Local Manuel Antonio/Quepos Sustainable Development Community this Fall
Livingston, MT (PRWEB) September 10, 2009
As Congress turns their attention away from Mr. Obama’s environmental economic initiatives toward healthcare, one small business remains committed to the initiatives’ ideals and jump starts their mission toward environmental sustainability this fall. Villas Tranquilas, a Costa Rica Vacation Rental in Quepos/Manuel Antonio, joins a growing group of Central Pacific businesses and Costa Rica Hotels dedicated to sustainable Costa Rican Tourism.
Spearheaded in 2001 by local business owners to protect the endangered Mono Titi (squirrel) monkey, the Titi Conservation Alliance focuses conservation efforts on the Rio Naranjo Biological Corridor surrounding internationally famous Manuel Antonio National Park. The Rio Naranjo Biological Corridor’s two known locations for Mono Titi monkeys are separated by development making it extremely difficult for populations to thrive.
Villas Tranquilas sponsorship of the Titi Conservation Alliance gives tourists searching for Costa Rica vacations special insight into such local conservation issues. By educating tourists on local sustainable causes, it raises awareness about Costa Rica’s fragile Manuel Antonio National Park ecosystem and, by extension, the endangered Mono Titi Monkey.
Partnering with local Titi Alliance members, Villas Tranquilas strengthens a commitment to support business-to-business partnerships but also publicly recognizes their own charter to achieve sustainable development status through Costa Rica’s Certification of Sustainability. Villas Tranquilas begins the process of certification this fall with Titi Conservation Alliance guidance.
Through Villas Tranquilas guest donations, a portion of all proceeds will go directly to local education, reforestation, and conservation projects that impact the Manuel Antonio and Quepos Communities. Titi Conservation also offers opportunities for local businesses to help with reforestation of the Rio Naranjo Biological Corridor thus, off-setting carbon emissions and reducing each business’s carbon footprint.
Villas Tranquilas: a six acre rainforest retreat offers Costa Rica accommodations and vacation packages for travel to Manuel Antonio/Quepos Costa Rica.
