Acquisition of the Doce Cerros S.A. project can be an attractive addition to a portfolio where the goal is to invest in a golden opportunity in a dynamic market where impressive gains can be realized with reduced risk.
If the primary investment aim is to reduce volatility and risk while attempting to preserve capital and deliver positive returns under all market conditions, this option is worth consideration. The real estate market in Panama has not suffered the dramatic corrections that the rest of the world has endured.
The most obvious change to market conditions is the slowing of foreign investment as the liquidity crunch has affected investors around the globe. Property values have not had precipitous drops, partly due to the fact that Panama is a relatively small “niche” market in a country approximately the size of South Carolina.
Additionally, Panama is at the crossroads of the global economy with large long term projects such as the expansion of the Panama Canal, relocation of the United Nations Latin American Headquarters, the explosive growth of the retirement incentive programs and the continuing expansion of tourism.
Doce Cerros is an ideal short or long-term investment solution, eliminating the need to correctly time entry and exit from the Panama real estate market. This turn-key opportunity is unique because of the variety of investment objectives than can be accomplished. The entire property can be immediately “flipped” for a handsome short term profit. Another choice that is a medium term option is to sell the 60 individual luxury home sites or resale of the entire project to a residential developer for construction of up to 60 luxury home or as many as 250 affordable housing units. The most profitable option would be to “self” develop the project and sell residential home sites and completed homes to the residential customer or investor.
