Executive Overview:

Nicaragua is a nation undergoing dramatic change. We all recall the images of a war-torn country filled with civil strife and constant violence, but today Nicaragua is a country renewed and poised to attract a new breed of trendsetters. Newport Beach. St. Tropez. Acapulco. The French Riviera.

All were once the figment of someone’s imagination. Today they are the epitome of glamour and leisure. Since the eighties, Nicaragua has passed peacefully through three democratic changes of power and today is a constitutional democracy that respects human rights. According to the U.S. State Department; nowhere in the hemisphere is the political transformation and expansion of democracy better exemplified than in Nicaragua. The economic prospects and its relations with its neighbors have changed positively in a very short time.

With all of her current progress, Nicaragua however remains virtually unknown by mainstream travelers, hotel chains, and international investors. North Americans and Europeans looking to retire or build warm-weather second homes have been buying land in Mexico and Costa Rica for decades. Belize followed suit and became the next Central American hot spot.
In those areas real estate prices have escalated many times with the increasing demand. As Nicaragua’s undeserved stigma is being pierced by reports from the increasing number of foreigners who are traveling and expatriating there, Nicaragua is becoming the next land of opportunity.
A very large population of “baby boomers” in the U.S. controls unprecedented wealth. This group is just entering retirement. Their demand for affordable beach property and diverse vacation spots is expected to by itself drive the success of this project. The very recent success of another large residential real estate project in Nicaragua, also on the Pacific Coast, points out how Nicaragua’s stability and tax incentives are beginning to attract this huge market.

Nicaragua was chosen as the location of this investment because Paradise Development Holdings, Ltd. (PDH) believes that the country is in the early stages of a rapid escalation in real estate valuations.

Paradise Bay, with its spectacular oceanfront location, will become one of the premier, gate-guarded residential communities in Nicaragua. It will attract those individuals seeking the highest standards by virtue of its unique combination of beach location, excellent access, upscale homes, and proximity to Nicaragua’s leading port of call.

Project Overview:

Over the past decade or so, Central America has become one of the most popular locations for North Americans and others seeking a warm winter destination. The recent success of places like Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, and Honduras has attracted vacationers and second homebuyers in great numbers. The FOX television show “Temptation Island” added another dimension as millions of viewers from around the world witnessed the beauty of this region.

With the increased demand for prime ocean view property, and the escalating values of real estate in these countries, it was just a matter of time before Nicaragua’s success began. The general project approach is to build in phases, beginning with the cutting in of roads, then bringing in utilities, and finally the marking in and surveying of the 140+ home sites.

We began making improvements to the project site in the spring of 2004 with the initial road construction running from behind the church in the town square to the southern most point of the property. Some portions of the road are now paved with high-quality inter-locking pavers that will be standard where all hard surfaces are called for. We are currently bringing in underground electricity, which will set new standards of development for the area.
Water wells have been drilled and storage tanks will be situated underground throughout the community and completion is anticipated late winter 2006. We have begun construction on a 35-unit luxury detached villa collection. Pre-construction reservations are now being accepted, see our web site and click on Villas Viscaya. Waterfront home sites will become available October 1, 2005 and shortly thereafter we will be pursuing condominiums along the southern section of the development.
Site Location:

The property is situated one mile south of San Juan del Sur on over 130 acres of rangeland, including over 300 meters of Pacific Ocean frontage on the west. The north, east, and southern boundaries are bordered by undeveloped open space. The average depth of the property is about 540 meters. The property is elevated, overlooking a small rocky out cropping and across two small sandy beaches.

The property boasts spectacular views of Costa Rica, Paradise Bay, San Juan del Sur and beyond. The property is ideally situated a short 15-minute walk from the restaurants and stores in San Juan yet totally secluded from any of the noise associated with living in town. Cruise ships moor slightly north of the property offering interesting conversation pieces. Only a small amount of significant areas of undevelopable extreme slope exist on the site.

Due to the sites location southwest of Lake Nicaragua and the prevailing winds, there is a low incidence of mosquitoes and sand flies compared with the Caribbean tropics. The climate consists of two seasons, a relatively dry, warmer summer extending from December through May, and a slightly cooler, cloudier winter season from June to November.
Typically the only period of long, heavy rains is from mid September to mid November. When the temperature in the southern U.S. is in the 90s and 100s during the day in the summertime, the temperature at the project site will typically be in the 80s. The generally favorable weather and constant warm water contribute to a possible year-round tourist season.
Foreign travelers will access the site via Managua’s recently upgraded airport, Aeropuerto Internacional (MGA). From the United States nonstop flights exist from Miami and Houston; there is direct (intermediate stops, no plane changes) service from Dallas and Los Angeles. The project site is an average drive of about two hours from Managua’s airport along good quality paved highways.

Homeowners will be able to sit on their patio drinking margaritas and watch the cruise ships as they head north and south and dock into the bay at San Juan. Property prices along this stretch of coastline have already increased dramatically and future appreciation prospects are very strong.
