News Release Regarding New Airport ! Sept. 24 , 2015
The most significant coastal property in Central America/Ambergris Caye continues to grow as the top tourism destination in Belize and with that comes continued investment in infrastructure. Currently, the Government of Belize (GOB) is investing in Northern Ambergris Caye with the construction of 11 miles of paved road. GOB has also confirmed that once the road is complete, they will venture into a new project which will see the construction of an international airport on Ambergris Caye. The airport will serve to continue promoting the island as Belize’s top tourism destination as it will provide easier access to the international tourism market’s Caribbean coast.

Potential Factors for Development:
Recently a government official told us this: “It is time our country had a major resort, on par with the famous resorts in Mexico’s Yucatan. Let us know what we can do to help you make this a reality.”
This property provides the best background for this type of development in the western Caribbean. Set in one of the most breathtaking locations in the world, this magnificent property encompasses 23 square miles, 6,000 hectares. With 7 separately titled sections, various projects could be undertaken because of the large enterprise zone. An intelligent master plan can provide for diverse projects, all of which, through a thoughtful set of guidelines, can be designed with environmental and architectural integrity. With 8,000 buildable acres overlooking 3 miles of wild, untouched Caribbean beaches, this property extends into the dramatic foothills of the Mayan Mountains. It has crystal-clear whitewater creeks, extensive caverns and existing private mountain villas with panoramic vistas.
This pristine 14,000+ acre plantation on the country’s wild coast is the finest property offering with major development or resort potential anywhere on Central America’s Caribbean coast. It is comprised of 7 different titled sections. Total asking price is $39mm (USD). The property now has a valid E.I.A. and a government-approved Development Plan.
With a unified approach and long-range vision, this project will be a major economic development zone, including a world-class destination resort and other aspects, all built according to sustainable and environmentally-appropriate guidelines.
