Coral Development Group Completes Phase 1 Construction of its Newest Beachfront Community, Las Terrazas, on the Belizean Island of Ambergris Caye

Ambergris Caye's Las Terrazas community welcomes potential buyers to luxury residential beachfront properties in Belize with a proven track record and a solid investment opportunity.

San Pedro, Belize (PRWEB) November 18, 2007 -- Las Terrazas (http://www.lasterrazasbelize.com), a premier Belize real estate development on the island of Ambergris Caye, is pleased to announce the completion of phase 1 construction. The 4.8-acre island community of 78 residential condominiums and villas is located on the beaches of Ambergris Caye in Belize - one of the country's most sought-after locations. The first phase of construction was completed in October of this year and inaugurated on November 3rd by the Prime Minister of Belize together with other dignitaries, property owners, friends and family.

Phase 1 construction consisted of the completion of an unique double level pier and slips for 20 medium sized boats, the reception-concierge palapa, an expansion and reclamation of the beach area creating an unparalleled swimming beach on Ambergris Caye, an infinity exercise lap pool, the two-story spa and exercise building with sundeck, and 38 spacious residences including the Sea House Villas, Garden Villas, Lagoon Villas (sold out), and the Veranda and Penthouse condominiums. Upon completion of the upcoming second phase, Las Terrazas will encompass a variety of fully-furnished villas and condominiums, two very stylish contemporary swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center with spa, a tropical juice bar, a unique curved pier, and boutique and gourmet shops featuring the best of the culinary foods from cheeses to wines and personal accessories.

The buildings at Las Terrazas feature excellent workmanship, high-quality materials and finishes, and meticulously appointed interiors all constructed under the watchful eyes of Coral Development Group. The Coral Development Group blends expertise in real estate development with marketing, management, architecture, construction and hospitality, and has been involved in a variety of luxury real estate projects in North America and the Caribbean for over three decades. Dealing with a reputable developer with a proven track record like that of Coral Development Group provides prospective owners and investors the peace of mind needed during the process of completing an international real estate transaction.

"We take great care in the pre-planning of our developments to ensure that it fits within both the context of the local environment and community and if we cannot accomplish this synergy then the project is not worth developing", said Luis Latorre of the Coral Development Group.

"Recent in-house marketing research revealed that units comparable to the Las Terrazas' three bedroom beachfront villas would cost $1.5 million, $2+ million, and $2+ million in the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, and Cancun, respectively. With the growing international appeal of Belize we feel our prices in the $700k's show the most potential for appreciation", said Chris Roberts, General Manager of Las Terrazas. Chris Roberts added, "We also plan to continue offering phase 1 pricing during the initial phase 2 construction. Because 50% of all the units have already sold, don't expect these prices to stay at these levels for much longer".

Prospective owners and investors can download detailed floor plans of all Las Terrazas Belize villas and condominiums online. Visitors to the newly enhanced web site, www.lasterrazasbelize.com, can request additional information, browse through photos on the current progress of construction, and read about the many advantages of owning a residence within Las Terrazas' community.

All properties feature spacious floor plans, with large terraces on the villas facing the beach. Each unit will have deluxe contemporary-styled interior decorations, cable and high-speed Internet access within the common areas of the pool and beach, and a fantastic property value appreciation and rental revenue potential backed by the proven track record of the Coral Development Group. Acquiring real estate in Belize is a solid investment as the country lacks both capital and inheritance taxes in a climate where the currency exchange rates continue to be very stable. Property appreciation in Belize has been steady for the past two decades and is now predicted to accelerate in the coming years.

Each villa has been handsomely appointed with stainless steel appliances, marble floors, and granite countertops stocked with dishes, glasses, linens and towels, and fully furnished including flat screen televisions and everything necessary for new owners to enjoy immediate occupancy. Las Terrazas also offers a renters' pool, meaning that temporary vacancies in the villas and condominiums can be placed in the pool to provide their owners with rental income. For this reason alone, Las Terrazas represents an excellent investment opportunity.

The development itself has been carefully designed to maintain a perfect balance between the unspoiled environment and a comfortable living style, as suggested in the development's slogan, "The Natural Way of Life." The island community borders the Caribbean on one side and an inland lagoon on the other, allowing residents to relax and enjoy the area's beauty and serenity. Many of the residential units command a prime beachfront location, and the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere features some of the best scuba diving in the world - all just a short boat ride from Las Terrazas' white-sand beaches. This natural paradise is also only 4.5 miles from the town of San Pedro (Las Isla Bonita), offering easy access to the distinctive and colorful Ambergris Caye destination.

Property Frontiers: Oil Fuels Boom in Property Markets

Property Frontiers: Oil Fuels Boom in Property Markets

As the world's energy supplies come under increasing scrutiny, oil reserves as far a field as Mongolia are generating a wealth of excitement, and leading to a surge in local property markets. As such, capital appreciation and rental yields in localised oil districts are rocketing, creating excellent opportunities for property investors. To take advantage of this potential, Property Frontiers announce the launch of two new property developments in oil towns in Canada and Mongolia.

(PRWEB) November 9, 2007 -- Fort McMurray, a city in Canada's north eastern province Alberta is creating waves in the oil industry. Commonly dubbed Ft. McMoney thanks to its profit making credentials, US government has named the city as the preferred solution to replace the United States' dependency on Middle East oil. As the largest source of oil in the world, and with reserves bigger than Saudi Arabia's combined, Ft. McMurray is considered to be at the heart of Canada's oil production, and has the capacity to produce phenomenal amounts of the fuel. Indeed by 2015, the area is expected to produce over 3.0 million barrels of oil per day.

Today though, oil sand workers are battling a severe shortage of local accommodation and are currently being housed in camps on site. Demand for new residential accommodation is therefore enormous and with occupancy at 99.7%, rental yields of up to 24% are being achieved. Canadian property is therefore experiencing somewhat of a boom and Property Frontiers announce the launch of a development in a prime location to appease these high levels of demand. Riverside Executive Suites is based in downtown Fort McMurray just 30 minutes from the oil sands offering outstanding build quality and comfortable living for the workers of the oil sands. Capital appreciation is currently very high at around 20% pa meaning investors are faced with a wholly positive real estate outlook. Investing now will allow them to ride the wave of success that Ft. McMurray is enjoying and should guarantee very significant returns.

Property Frontiers have also launched a new project in Mongolia where similar opportunities exist. Ulaanbaatar is the operations centre of some of the world's largest mining companies with large coal reserves, several un-tapped oil fields and the largest and highest deposit (2.85%) copper and gold mine in the world. Significant growth has been seen in the country's entrepreneurial businesses and the Mongolian property market is in a strong position. For sale are apartments in the Temple, located in a key city centre location overlooking the central lake. With supply of local accommodation currently very limited, dramatic squeezes on demand have been experienced and rental yields of 13% net plus capital growth of around 30% is expected on apartments in the Temple. These phenomenal rates are likely to be further bolstered by increasing banking confidence which should sustain growth over the long term.

It seems then, that oil reserves may just be a pre-requisite for some of the most profitable real estate investment opportunities around at the moment.

For more information on properties available in the aforementioned destinations or for more information please contact Property Frontiers +44 (0) 1865 202 700.

Last Prime Residential Development Site in Newton-Scotts Area, Singapore for Sale by Tender

CB Richard Ellis is pleased to announce the launch of public tender for Dunearn Gardens. 96 units of the 114 units, representing 83.39% of the share values, have signed the Collective Sale Agreement (CSA).

Singapore (PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- The premier freehold residential development site is located along Dunearn Road, close to Scotts Road. It sits on 8,866.8 square meters (approximately 95,443 square feet) of prime land and boasts panoramic views of Orchard Road and the Central Business District.

The guide price is $578.5 million, which equates to about $2,288 per square foot per plot ratio, inclusive of a Development Charge estimated to be $32.9 million.

Under the Master Plan 2003, the maximum permissible plot ratio is 2.8 with a height restriction of 117 meter AMSL (approximately 33 storeys). Developers can also further utilize the additional 10% Gross Floor Area allowable for the provision of balconies, subject to the payment of Development Charge.

Dunearn Gardens was completed in 1992. There are 12 two-bedroom (807 - 828 square feet) apartments, 64 three-bedroom (1,227 - 1,248 square feet) apartments, 34 four-bedroom (1,646 - 1,668 square feet) apartments and 4 penthouses (2,443 square feet and 3,293 square feet) presently on the site.

Based on the $578.5 million guide price, owners can receive approximately $3.42 - $9.29 million depending on their unit types and sizes. The developer can build about 134 units assuming an average size of 2,000 square feet each.

The estimated breakeven is in the region of $2,900 per square foot.

"The Newton area has always been well sought-after amongst homebuyers and investors due to its excellent location and good schools nearby. With Newton MRT station slated to be the "interchange hub" for the upcoming Downtown Line, we expect housing demand to grow more strongly.

Moreover, with Elmira Heights and Gilstead View being sold via en-bloc earlier this year, Dunearn Gardens remains the last and only available large residential site in the locality," said Jeremy Lake, Executive Director of Investment Properties.

The Tender Exercise closes at 3 p.m. on 28 November 2007.

Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel Opens

Pullman Bangkok King Power, the city's hottest new property catering to a modern urban clientele, is poised to revolutionize Bangkok's accommodation sector with stunning architecture and interior design, new technologies and upscale meetings and business facilities.

Bangkok (PRWEB) October 20, 2007 -- Pullman Bangkok King Power, the city's hottest new property catering to a modern urban clientele, is poised to revolutionize Bangkok's accommodation sector with stunning architecture and interior design, new technologies and upscale meetings and business facilities.

The 386-room Pullman Bangkok King Power offers contemporary accommodation in four room categories with all rooms offering a unique set of benefits according to room type included in the rate. In-room facilities include interactive TVs offering satellite programmes and fast internet access and an e-check-in tool on the hotel's website.

According to Accor Asia Managing Director Michael Issenberg, Pullman Bangkok King Power brings a fresh perspective and attitude to accommodation in Bangkok.

"The hotel looks and feels unique. There is an excitement when you walk through the public areas, restaurants and rooms. It has a great design aesthetic that runs through the entire development. But Pullman Bangkok King Power is not only stunning in appearance, it is also very functional and user friendly which will make it popular with both MICE planners and corporate clients." Issenberg said.

"High end incentives, corporate meetings and conferences will be a growing segment for Pullman Bangkok King Power as it establishes itself very quickly both in domestic and overseas MICE markets," Issenberg said.

Pullman Bangkok's main Ballroom can accommodate over 1,000 persons supported by "state of the art" audio video technology. These "smart" venues were conceived and built to attract the MICE market and particularly up market MICE events. The hotel promises acknowledgement of corporate requests within 45 minutes and will provide a tailor-made package in less than 24 hours.

Mr Issenberg also noted that Pullman Bangkok King Power's other strength was its dedication to 'new generation' business facilities catering to an increasingly demanding and tech savvy market.

"Pullman Bangkok King Power has been developed to cater to a new generation of corporate clientele. The owner and the management team intend to "think ahead" of guest expectations and Pullman Bangkok King Power has established pro-active procedures in terms of service and catering to road weary corporate travellers," Issenberg said.

Pullman Bangkok King Power offers an Executive Floor supported by the hotel's Executive Lounge where guests enjoy exclusive check-in and check-out priveleges. This valued added service extends to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, where they will be given exclusive access to the King Power Executive Lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Located in central Bangkok, Pullman Bangkok King Power blends the convenience of a city hotel with a modern design. The hotel is attached to the new King Power Complex on Rangnam Road, close to the Victory Monument, and within walking distance to an emerging shopping, dining and entertainment enclave that is attracting affluent young professionals and families. This prime city location offers access to two BTS Skytrain stations within walking distance and easy access to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport via two expressway entrances.

The hotel's restaurants and bars serve a range of genuine Thai, Asian, European and Californian cuisines. Extensive shopping options and dining outlets are also available at the adjacent King Power Duty Free complex.

Low-Entry Land Prices Grab Investors Attention at Yucatán Greens, Mexico

This news release was distributed by the PR Web Newswire on behalf of the organization below.

Low-Entry Land Prices Grab Investors Attention at Yucatán Greens, Mexico

The five star golf and beach resort at Yucatán Greens in Mexico is offering the kind of early-entry first phase release prices that all land investors seek in order to gain maximum returns on their investments.

(PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- Superbly located on the Yucatán Peninsula, near Cancun, the Yucatan Greens project is underway to create a luxury self-contained resort, combining the latest of ecotourism standards with a full range of on-site facilities and a new 27-hole golf course. Land plots are currently available at well below market value prices.

Bernardo Retana, Director of Investment Product and Development at the International Property Investment Network (IPIN), states, "We strongly believe that buying land here offers great growth potential whatever your intended investment strategy. Whether you choose to sell on the land prior to construction, build a villa on it to sell upon completion, or simply let the property over a period of years, you will be gaining maximum profits from your investment."

The extremely low entry prices are the earliest opportunity to buy, prior to official international launch. In fact, compared with similar neighbouring developments, prices are clearly under market value: eg. on a similar nearby golf resort with 18 holes of golf, plots of 600m2 are for sale at 103,000 USD, while Yucatán Greens with 27 holes of golf is currently offering the same amount of land for a mere 60,000 USD. Meanwhile, overseas investors are all the more interested as this affords an opportunity to take full advantage of the weak dollar, allowing money to go a good deal further.

Bernardo Retana continues, "Buying at the earliest possible point of sale of course allows investors to profit not only from below market values and high growth, but also to choose from the very best first and second line plots available, right from the start; everyone knows the importance of location when buying and selling land and real estate and Yucatán Greens offers a prime opportunity to choose the best from the very beginning." Having undergone the IPIN strict due diligence procedures, this land already comes with full planning permission and has been passed as a secure early investment opportunity that enables the highest possible growth.

The resort is located within a well-established but growing tourist region of Mexico where visitors come to enjoy its laid back Caribbean lifestyle, along with a tropical climate, golden sandy Gulf of Mexico beaches and ancient Mayan influences. Land purchase on such a luxury beach and golf paradise in this particular region is of course widely considered to be a highly valuable investment. Currently the Yucatán Peninsula attracts a considerable influx of Canadian & US visitors -- all likely candidates to fuel today's wise investments at Yucatán Greens.

All discerning property investors realize the importance of taking advantage of the most lucrative real estate opportunities as soon as they arise, before they become common knowledge. The International Property Investment Network (IPIN), operated by Property Showrooms, helps all types of investors in their quest to access up-to-the minute information on the very latest investment opportunities in the worldwide property market today.

By leveraging competitiveness and experience from both parties, we believe that we will be able to create a new landmark project within the commercial real estate sector in Shenzhen."

Mr. Chris Brooke, President & CEO, CB Richard Ellis in Greater China, said, "High quality asset management is key to ensuring that commercial investment properties both meet the needs of occupiers and appreciate in value over time. Given that the real estate sector in Shenzhen is rapidly maturing, we believe that the introduction of international best practice in relation to the development, leasing and management of properties will play a critical role in creating added value and enhancing the competitive edge of individual projects. The collaboration between Galaxy Real Estate and CB Richard Ellis offers significant mutual benefits and, in addition, further demonstrates our continued commitment to providing real estate services aligned with the business interests and strategies of our clients."

Martin Chiu, Managing Director, CB Richard Ellis in Shenzhen, said, "Shenzhen is at the frontier of economic development in China. Many well-known international and domestic organizations have established significant operations in the city, which has facilitated the growth of the local real estate market. In many ways, Shenzhen is taking a leading role in terms of setting standards relating to the development of the real estate market in China. We see our involvement in the Galaxy Centre as an opportunity to combine our local market knowledge with the resources of our global network to both meet the needs of our client and expand our business in Shenzhen."

Over the years, CB Richard Ellis has established itself as a leading real estate service provider in Greater China, currently having offices in Beijing, Shanghai (Puxi and Pudong), Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Dalian, Hong Kong (Hong Kong Island and Kowloon) and Taipei, as well as approximately 10 project offices and experience in over 60 cities.

(PRWEB) August 5, 2007 -- From an amazing 29,092 GBP, city property in Turkey´s emerging Büyükçekmece of Istanbul is today offering excellent investment potential, according to The International Property Investment Network (IPIN). Tipped by top economists as a prime investment location, Istanbul offers various opportunities in Büyükçekmece, such as this carefully selected development at Astrum Towers. Its first phase comprises blocks of 1,285 one, two and three bedroom units, complete with swimming pools and other amenities, while two more phases are to follow.

These off-plan apartments will provide comfortable, quality accommodation in an area now famed as a hotspot for the city's new industrial activities.

IPIN regards Astrum Towers is an ideal city investment because:
* Considering the high capital growth rates that Istanbul property is forecasted to achieve, the developers quote projected annual returns of 20%. With growth rates continuing to be driven by demand through increased jobs and disposable income, investors do expect to see significant growth in such a key location; strong GDP growth is also driving the demand for local housing.
* Located alongside the new industrial areas of Haramidere and Beylikdüzü, Astrum Towers sits conveniently close to the city centre, being easily accessible via the TEM motorway linking Istanbul to Ankara and the E-5 highway
* Due to its situation within an emerging business area of Istanbul, the development is set to attract a ready supply of professionals seeking rental accommodation, in turn fuelling a healthy buy-to-let investment market
* The blocks are a stone's throw from brand new commercial and recreation centres, providing convenient, modern amenities close at hand
* The major commercial harbor at Kumport is located close to Beylikdüzü, ideally serving industries in the area
* Daily flight connections link Istanbul and Heathrow via Turkish Airlines, with XL Airlines also running a weekly service to Gatwick
* The units are built to high standards by a large developer, carefully vetted by IPIN

Now that commercial giants such as Ikea and Harvey Nichols have opened up in Istanbul and the headquarters of many other multinational companies and foreign banks are now operating from Turkey, Istanbul is taking the commercial limelight - so much so that the retail space available is far below demand levels, thus creating a strong opportunity for all timely investors.

Due to their great investment potential both in terms of capital growth and rental yields, units at Astrum Towers are reserving very fast and IPIN advises swift action while phase one pricing levels and availability still last.
