The wave
of real-estate developments targeted at foreign expats and second-home
buyers has now reached the beautiful islands of Las Perlas archipelago,
more specifically to Isla Viveros –a little-known, but well-endowed
tropical paradise approximately 8 miles south of Contadora.
Grupo
Viveros is currently marketing an ambitious residential project on
the island among his fellow countrymen, other Europeans, North Americans
and anybody willing to own a little mansion facing the crystal-clear
waters of the Gulf of Panama, or a deluxe par 72 golf course designed
by Jack Nicklaus
According
to Dr. André Beladina, a representative of the company, Isla
Viveros will be transformed into a "little, secluded community"
of 550 residences built on 600 hectares (300 on the seafront and 250,
facing the golf course.) The project also calls for two marina with
capacity for one hundred, 150-feet yachts, shopping centers, an air
strip, medical facilities and three five-star hotels, featuring between
100-300 bedrooms. The first lots, the price of which ranges between
$300,000 and $500,000, will be ready for sale in early 2006.
