With the project well under way, the excitement surrounding Jaco Bay continues to grow…

What is the progress of Jaco Bay?

"Jaco Bay is over 50 percent completed. Our towers are almost finished, and the rest of the community is solidly on schedule in terms of its construction. Our first condominium units will be delivered in May of 2008.”

When completed, Jaco Bay will do more than offer vacation homes and second residences for buyers from all over the world; it will also provide a much-needed service and a much-needed boost to the area’s tourism sector.

Why should I invest in Jaco Bay Condominiums and Resort?

"Jaco is the fastest growing resort area in the country. It’s a place that will benefit from the infrastructure related to tourism that’s currently being set in place: new roads, golf clubs, marinas, hotels. According to the Institute of tourism, more than 20,000 visitors were unable to find a suitable place to stay in the area. Given this, rental units would be a good investment as it would supply the growing demand, estimated to be around 12% each year. As the popularity of Jaco and Costa Rica increases, so does the potential for a significant return on investment.”
