REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW The Caribbean citizenship by investment industry offers a number of real estate opportunities. The team at AIM Capital has handpicked a range of investment opportunities for the programme, which varies from hotel investment shares, freehold apartments and freehold villas. Applicants for the programme must invest in a government approved projects in order to qualify for citizenship. The real estate projects in the citizenship by investment market are all regulated by a government agency and all developments undergo a strict due diligence check in order to ensure all projects are sustainable in the long run in terms of value, build structure and long term rental income.

The investment can be the best route to second citizenship, particularly for large families and applicants from unstable regions or countries. A second home offers such applicants the option to reside in another country whenever required. From a tax or wealth planning perspective, it is always advisable to invest in real estate. It is important to have a mailing address in their country of second citizenship in order to prove their domicile status in a respective country whenever required by foreign authorities. Owning a home in the country of second citizenship makes it easier to open a bank account and demonstrates the citizen’s close ties with the country.

WHY CHOOSE THE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OPTION?This real estate investment option is beneficial for applicants for the following reasons:

▶ Ability to improve their tax planning options through the purchase of a second home.

▶ The option to resell real estate after a 5-year period.

▶ Ability to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of a second home.

▶ It can be more affordable to choose

the real estate investment option for large family applications.

▶ Allows applicants to benefit from the lifestyle benefits of a second home.

▶ Potential to recover all equity invested over the 5 year no resale period.

Various investment opportunities in the industry allow applicants to receive a fixed rental income over the 5 year no resale period or rental income based on the profitability of their development. The client is highly likely to recover all the money invested for their citizenship application through the resale process and the rental income gained over the 5-year period. Please note, prices of real estate are always subject to change and clients may also incur a loss. In most cases, the real estate option will be the more affordable option as the client is able to recover equity through the resale process however this is not possible through the donation option.

Providing the asset is resold at the price of $300,000 and receives a return of $25,000 over a five year period. The client will gain a profit of $11,000 if the purchase cost of the application is $304,000. If the client were to choose the donation option, he or she would have to donate $233,000.

KAWANA BAYKawana Bay is a five star resort currently under construction and located on the famous Grand Anse Beach right next to the famous Mount Cinnamon Hotel. The resort will be managed by the Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group LLC.

Owners will receive an equal share of the rental income from the rental pool and are entitled to a one-time usage of one week in a Suite or 2 weeks in a Studio.

▶ Single Title Studios (full ownership) — These deeded properties are priced at $425,000 and $445,000, respectively. Owners will receive a full equal share interest in the rental program and are entitled to 2 weeks of free usage per year.

▶ Multi Title (1/6) Suites — These are one-sixth Suite ownership units that are priced at $220,000 for shared ownership. Each Suite is being sold to six owners as tenants in common. This form of multi-ownership means that each owner holds an individual freehold 1/6 share in a unit by title deed with the right (subject to the mandatory rental program) to possess, sell, mortgage and their 1/6 ownership unit without the need for consent of the other owner; making it an ideal structure for multi-ownership of an investment property.

The developer is projecting a 4 per cent net return for investors once the hotel is fully operational. Due to increasing demand for hotel rooms on the island, hotels are in strong demand. The average occupancy rate of hotels in Grenada are above 60% and thus the developer is in a good position to deliver positive returns for investors.
