Del Pacifico at Esterillos Granted Permits for 18-Hole Billy Casper Golf Course; Set to Break Ground Early 2008
Esterillos Este, Costa Rica (PRWEB) August 3, 2007
Barry Strudwick, co-founder of Del Pacifico at Esterillos in Esterillos Este, Costa Rica, has announced it has been granted the permits to start construction of an 18-Hole Billy Casper designed golf course in early 2008. In addition, the course will feature 120 condominium units designed by Costa Rica’s most acclaimed architect and designer Ronald Zurcher, president of Zurcher Arquitectos in Costa Rica, who is known for the Hotel Punta Islita, the two Costa Rica Marriotts and the Costa Rica Four Seasons.
The condominiums will be available in one, two and three bedrooms, ranging in price from $ 500,000 to $ 1.2 million for pre-construction pricing orders. All will be walking distance to the beach and face the ocean side holes of the Del Pacifico golf Course. Reservations are being accepted now.
Commenting on the new development, Mr. Strudwick said enthusiastically, “We are happy with the progress we are making at Del Pacifico, and the granting of these permits puts us on the fast track to completing the golf course. To date we have sold over 65 condos and homes, this new condo project alone will be a $ 90 million venture. Having a national treasure like Ronald Zurcher designing the condominiums that will rise along the ocean is a thrill and honor.”
The Golf Club is a private and exclusive club for Del Pacifico residents and guests for other communities participating through the Master Alliance Program. The clubhouse also includes a fitness center and restaurant.
Del Pacifico is located on the beach along the central pacific coast midway between Jaco Beach, a bustling surf town with restaurants reminiscent of a seaside community of long ago, and the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park, the most popular eco-tourism destination in Central America. Del Pacifico is also just a 15-minute plane ride from San Jose, the capital.
Amenities round out the attraction of Del Pacifico, which staffs a masseuse around the clock, as well as offers sunrise yoga on the beach and a spa. A concierge office will be located at the town center, where residents and guests can make reservations for various activities, including golf, deep sea fishing, zip lining, surfing lessons and other attractions unique to Costa Rica. They will also be able to arrange transportation and book horses stabled at Del Pacifico through the concierge office.
Del Pacifico at Esterillos is located in Esterillos Este, Costa Rica. It is a 700-acre beach and golf luxury community located in the beautiful pacific coast town of Esterillos Este. With over half a mile of beach frontage and rolling hills with elevations of up to 250 feet, primary rain forest and wildlife, Del Pacifico has exceptional opportunities for those looking to invest in a condominium, single family home or even for the more experienced investor seeking a development opportunity.

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.
