The Monte del Barco Project in Costa Rica

The crisis of 2008 halted the development of the ambitious project in the Gulf of Papagayo tourist hub, and solutions are being sought to maintain it.

Monday, December 12, 2011

The project is owned by Monte del Barco Real Estate Fund, administered by Aldesa Investment Funds.

There is need to resolve the financial situation of the project in order to continue with its development, so solutions have emerged such as the purchase of lots by the same investors in the Fund, which so far has not been successful, and the transfer of part the land to a group of providers in exchange for building the basic infrastructure so as to enable the project to continue.

An article in Elfinancierocr.com outlines the main features of the project, which envisages an investment of about $213 million:

Development:
The Monte del Barco Real Estate Fund assumed the reins of the hotel project in 2005.

Proposal:
The plan is to develop in four stages, a real estate complex in Bahía Culebra, in the Tourist Pole Gulf of Papagayo .

Units:
First, a Beach Club will be built, then a 200 room hotel and a 28-unit condo hotel. Then a marina for 100 vessels and 26 villas.

Goda: Inversiones Goda is another concession assumed by the Monte del Barco fund where a condo hotel is planned. In total there are three concessions: Monte del Barco has one sized 10 ha 3712 m² and another covering 13 ha 7.181 m², while Goda has 6 ha 7241 m², for a grand total of 4,318,448.81 square meters. "
