Gran Pacifica
This may be your last opportunity to own at a very affordable price a lot or home in a luxury planned beach and golf community on the glorious Pacific coast of Nicaragua. There is no other development in Nicaragua (and few in the region) that are investing as heavily in infrastructure and planning as at Gran Pacifica. What this means for you is a lifestyle with the comforts of home at a fraction of the price. Imagine showers that have plenty of water pressure, fiber optic cable allowing video phone calls to kids, grandkids, or parents back home, paved streets, brick sidewalks, and streetlights. Imagine a special place you can call your home away from home, a community rather than a lot on the beach. There’s a golf course, too: the first nine holes opened in December 2009. Gran Pacifica has brought in the best of the best to create a community you will enjoy. The urban and master planners behind Gran Pacifica were Walt Disney's choice to design Celebration. Pinehurst hired them for the new town linking the #9 and #10 courses. From design to implementation, the A-Team is in place to ensure a quality community for owners.

Gran Pacifica is an ambitious Pacific beach community development project. It's not intended to be simply a beachfront land development, but promises to become a lively and vital community where you'll love to spend time. Gran Pacifica offers you the chance to get a piece of Pacific-coast lifestyle at a price that won't buy you a shoebox-size condominium in many of the most mundane communities in the U.S. This is a chance to improve your lifestyle and upgrade your standard of living affordably.
Where is Gran Pacifica? Gran Pacifica is located at the closest point to the Pacific Ocean - 42 miles due west - from Nicaragua's capital, Managua. Managua is the largest city in Central America, with a population of over 1.6 million (about one-quarter of Nicaragua's population). It's also the financial, transportation, and communication hub for the country. That's a huge plus for a number of obvious reasons. Gran Pacifica is...
All of that bodes well for the future of Gran Pacifica. And that meets one of the most important rules for real estate, location. Gran Pacifica is ideally located for the kind of development that's planned. It will be easily accessible to wealthier Nicaraguans and the international business community located in Managua as well as tourists from around the world. But that is only the beginning of the story... "New Urbanism" Comes to Nicaragua The planners behind Gran Pacifica are guided by a philosophy called "New Urbanism." This is a philosophy of community planning that promotes the creation of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant, mixed-use communities. Gran Pacifica is the first New Urbanist community in Nicaragua. New Urbanism emphasizes aesthetics, human comfort, and helps create a sense of real community, not just a housing development. All of this, combined with the natural beauty of the Pacific Coast offers you a high quality of life and helps create a community that will enrich, uplift, and inspire you.
There's a "Buzz" in the Air Until 1990, there was virtually no tourism in Nicaragua. That is changing. Tourism numbers doubled between 2000 and 2008, reaching 857,000 in 2008. Today, Nicaragua is easier than ever to visit. You have a choice of up to 10 daily flights to Managua from Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles. The quaint beach town of San Juan del Sur boasts regular stops by major cruise lines. Tourists bus in from Costa Rica to see stunning natural resources, the largest rainforest north of the Amazon, remarkable volcanoes, and abundant wildlife.
Nicaragua encourages U.S. retirees to relocate with an extremely generous package of retiree benefits. There are no taxes on income earned outside of Nicaragua. You can ship up to $20,000 worth of household goods plus a car to Nicaragua duty free, should you choose to retire there. Furthermore, in an effort to promote tourism, the Nicaraguan government also offers some of the most investment-friendly tax policies of any country in Latin America.
Is Gran Pacifica For You? Consider...
To promote the quick development of the community plans, property in Gran Pacifica comes with a covenant that requires owners to build on their property. This type of covenant is not unusual, but it is another first for Nicaragua. The building requirements are good news for those who want to live or spend time on the coast in Gran Pacifica. There are now over 100 homes in the community, making it quite an inviting place to spend time. The fees for the Gran Pacifica Home Owners Association are higher than for other homeowners associations in the country, in order to support the level of services and infrastructure. They are not exorbitant, though, and, again, they are a plus for anyone planning to spend time in the community. They assure you of adequate financing for the maintenance of your community and its first-world infrastructure. Average HOA fees for a lot and home currently run around $150 per month. As I mentioned above, lot owners must begin construction of their homes within 24 months after the purchase. To support these restrictions, the developer is required to have roads, electricity, water, and sewage installed to the lots. If you are not yet ready to build, some lots are being offered with no construction timeframes.
For anyone interested in a Pacific beach golf resort, Gran Pacifica is worth serious consideration. And to help you experience this unique community, the developer is offering a chill weekend trip. They’ll pick you up from Managua airport, and take you to Gran Pacifica. You'll stay in one of their oceanfront condos, where they’ll wine and dine you, and help you discover this amazing Pacific coast location for yourself. You’ll also see Granada, Nicaragua’s most beautiful colonial city...visit Masaya, the largest handcrafts market in the country...and enjoy a boat trip on Lake Nicaragua. The next trip runs April 19-22nd, 2010. The trip costs $349 per person, $515 for a couple. Contact us to find out more. |
Chill at Gran Pacifica

Retirees (and Baby Boomers About to Retire) 
Here is an important consideration to keep in mind about Gran Pacifica: the developers are committed to creating a "real community," not a "ghost town," like so many Latin American developments in the past have become. These ghost towns are developments that after many years are little more than a collection of lot markings.
