Concealment of assets reported by the promoter of 170 flats for O Porrino
Two years paying mortgage and rent. Farewell to the benefits of special bank accounts for housing. And the helplessness of seeing your floor so close and yet so far. For the seventy families Porriño who bought homes in the Promenade development and awaiting delivery from 2008 impotence is the queen of the senses.
They could do nothing but wait. Until now. The association has just hit a complaint for concealment of assets against the three responsible for the development company, Manuel White and his sons Eugene and Manuel Blanco Ana Longueira.
In the letter delivered to the trial court explained that the three involved approved a partial split and capital reduction Promenade Apartments SL for a new entity, E-Asdur SL The movement of assets and liabilities resulting in a change in capital of more than one million euros, a figure which grows when you consider that the shares that appeared in the two scripts linked to this case vary significantly. As stated in the complaint makes the final value of the assets of the company he built Porriño be around two million euros.
Also varies Chapter of red numbers, since in many cases are contracted with other companies which also listed as responsible members of the White family.
Bankruptcy
The interpretation of the letter and families involved in the problem is that all these moves are intended to make the company responsible has no money to respond when the dreaded bankruptcy. Supposedly, this measure would be needed later this year, because the loans in 2005 and 2006 must be redeemed in September and October 2011.
The problem is that expected for when this measure have already been two years since the split of the capital, which would have strengthened this exchange with E-Asdur SL and he could not be held liable for defaults of the previous society.
Therefore Porriño neighbors who bought their homes in the residential area near the railroad tracks waiting for the court to declare as the three defendants involved. If you consider it proven that a crime of concealment of goods, the penalty could vary from two to four years in prison.
Those affected do not fail to remember the difficult situation being experienced by families. "Many people have given all their savings to purchase your home and is now no savings and no housing. In many cases take two years living with relatives or rent, "recalls Porriño families.
The family Cosme (Alsa) amasses an emergent property empire in China
The construction of a building in Shanghai (China)
His foray into real estate is directly linked to their activity in China through Alsa. As explained by the family in a recent private meeting, once the bus business began to generate substantial profits, Cosmos were in the position to consider the option to reinvest capital gains in the Chinese market or repatriate dividends from. The final bid was a brick for rent in large urban areas, clearly an emerging market expansion.
The decision, as explained family members in a private forum, he also had other motivations. According to Chinese law, foreign companies are subject to tax, as local companies and the repatriation of foreign exchange requires only an administrative formality. However, there is an extra 10% withholding on capital gains out of the country want, So at times, and to the strength of economic activity in China, may be an option to reinvest doubly attractive.
For years, the family policy in China has been reinvesting all the money that would generate local business, the head of which is Andres Cosmesince 1987, while his brother James Cosme acts as president from Asturias. However, from 2005, when the family decides to merge with British transport giant National Express, in exchange for 10% of the combined, just over 200 million and to continue the China subsidiary, the family decided to diversify into other non-transport fields.
No one guaranteed to Cosme, however, success in your real estate venture. As has happened before in other growing economies, the Chinese housing market is subject to a clear overheating. It reflects a recent report by China Academy of Social Sciences, which estimated the existence of some 64 million empty apartments and houses in urban areas. Ie housing stock for about 200 million people, where the urban population is less than a third of this figure.
Despite being the first shareholders of National Express, Cosme family was interested in taking full control of the company in the hands of private equity fund CVC. After giving up on this operation, the Asturian family supported the merger with the Scottish Stagecoach, which eventually was also unsuccessful. The maelstrom of mergers and acquisitions, as demonstrated after taking Enatcar or Continental-Auto, does not scare the family Asturias. Neither the Chinese market ... if not for their first steps in the housing market
Buildings in search of a destination

| Interior Blasco Imprint features an advanced state of degradation |
The crisis, the failed plans and investment averages are mainly responsible for this "neglect" in the words of the Neighborhood Association, Historic Lanuza, which calls for these abandoned buildings are used. Its president, Javier Rodriguez, highlights the social and cultural achievement that could be given in a very needed and ensures that as longer it takes to act on them will be costing more money.
"In four years, an abandoned building of this type and age will deteriorate and the price soars for reform should begin to fix everything from the beginning," he says.
Two months to the elections is time to take action on the matter and submit a brainstorm. This week, fifteen associations of the historic launch a pre-election statement calling on parties that do not need more equipment, "Just to be fixed and use what's there, it costs less," Rodriguez insisted.
Some, like the headquarters of San Genis, Pignatelli next to the building have a concrete proposal as apartments for students and youth. However, the action "will not finish booting because the economic situation being what it is," says the president of Lanuza-Old Town.

Another building is the headquarters of San Agustin near the History Center. The two ships left next to the hostel "and remain as a L would be the ideal place to make the Civic Center area," he said.
Total abandonment of Printing Blasco
One of the most shameful examples of neglect and degradation is the Imprenta Blasco, next to the square of the Ecce Homo. The museum is part of the expansion of the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Aragón ... there have been many proposed uses for this building, but for one reason or another none has curdled. Result: The building is literally falling apart.
To avoid total ruin the Aragonese municipal group is committed to recover If you form part of the upcoming municipal corporation that emerges from the elections of 22 May. In this way, the project would have a budget to implement a printing museum and build a specialized library, a room of "paper and the senses" and the organization of educational workshops for children.
His spokesman, John Martin, complained a few days ago the "neglect" of the current government team "literally left to rot" this project.
A few meters from this building is located Fuenclara Palace, a building for which there is currently no definite proposals and is also forgotten despite its architectural beauty.
Respect to a lever that could be Zaragoza 2016's candidacy to fill these spaces and give them life, from the neighborhood association are very skeptical. Hardly believe the slogan "Culture Historic transforms" and criticized as an example, the Centro Cultural de Las Armas, which will open soon, take a tender to a private company to 20 years because there is no money to mount.
Student Minipisos in Pontoneros
One of the projects are defined in the Quarter of San Genis, located in the surroundings of the Palafox Plaza also known as Pontoneros. Minipisos hostel is scheduled for students and youth of about 30 square meters each, rented. Still no date.

| St. Genis barracks could house to rent for students minipisos |
The aim would be to convert this building next to the Government of Aragon in a dorm, since, according to Blasco, is the "fittest" to install equipment and "more simple and cheap."
But not only is there no public property in the historic destination. Other public buildings blatant examples of both administrations are unopened Harinera (San Jose), Gies (Sources), the former Conservatory of Music and Albareda building workshops, the latter in the Centro district. All they lack that little help that makes them go into a coma and threatened by debris.
A rented apartment of the Basque Government
Here appropriate, because I have no idea who is responsible, I feel compelled to express my displeasure this way, my helplessness and disbelief that I was born with what you're playing live.
It all starts when a few months ago I warn that I have had an apartment for rent. You can imagine the reader who so happy, and what lottery!
No doubt when I felt it, even remotely imagined that I was playing lottery.
No chance to see, I have to decide if I stay, to sign the lease notarized and, in view of how rents are today, I choose yes. I'll take it.
The keys were last week. What is my surprise when I discovered that I have had an apartment suitable for disabled. Commenting on what happens to me with friends who also has touched an apartment in the same block, I urge quickly get in touch with the Administration, since there are several stories not adapted to people who have decided not to accept the conditions award have been set free, because of course, is not gold that glitters, and, among other things, that same day, the delivery of keys, tell us that the rental price must add 90 euros for costs of community to pay maintenance as agreed by the Basque Government (which can not be changed even if another firm to do a lower cost).
Through tears, laughter and cold sweats, understanding nothing of what happens, I intend to clarify this misunderstanding with the department responsible for dealing with complaints.
After several attempts, after walking into a ball from one side to another, the only response is obtained in all of them can not do anything, since the absence of people with disabilities interested and / or willing to rent an apartment have also drawn adapted floors and no more, I have had so touched me, this is what you get. Negative response to the request to remove the adaptations, because in five years (or less if you quit), the floors can be re-awarded to people with disabilities. And negative response to the request to award me one of the floors for people without disabilities, have been released by the resignation of people claiming to be tied hand and foot by law to give me that option, from what I I conclude that it is not the law who are bound, but these choices we have right around the corner and that has other work with ... And of course, as I am not an influential person, the "top" not interested in my advice.
I say, not this should have been warned before signing the contract?, Should not we know ahead of time as important as things that can touch a floor adapted to other personal or we'll pay a somewhat exorbitant community? what if I'm angry? Yes, of course I am and do not intend to hide, do not want to, because this is what you really there?, Is there really anything or anyone that can do something to make laws fit with logic, the circumstances will give every other day too?, "all ends here legally or should report the situation?
If anyone knows what to do in these cases or in my situation, I would appreciate to liaise with me.

Plague homeowners
The draft Law on Regulation of Real Estate Leasing PSUV is creating controversy in the various private sectors of society.
Martini Aquiles Pietri, president of the Real Estate Chamber of Venezuela, said the text should be discussed in depth because it lacks important aspects.
"The law of the review, has things that can be improved and other obviated." He said the issue of regulations on sales prices and rents dramatically affects the real estate profession.
Pietri Martini believes that it is based on the principle that the cost of land is the same everywhere and that urbanism are exclusively government works.
He said that most of the developing urbanism planners (private sector). He explained that they seize the gross and urbanized land in order to build housing units. He said that only the executive decides where cities will be lifted.
He said that according to some formulas will be balanced every meter of construction. "It will be worth the same 100-meter apartment in Monte Bello a 100-meter apartment Antímano. The one in Antímano will be more expensive and the Monte Bello go down. "
Referring to the rents, said that they will be equal. Rents in the most expensive areas will fall and in the popular areas of price rise.
Biased LAW
The Property Owners Association Urban (Apiur) oppose the draft because the text is a project-sided, biased and violates private property and enjoy at your disposal. "
Also, the union claims that the regulation promotes expropriation of rented accommodation, either an owner of a property or an owner that has at its disposal more than six rental housing.
Also creates a lengthy procedure to rescue the property owner of five bodies, two and 3 administrative courts. " According to Apiur, it seeks to perpetuate the tenant's property and that the owner does not recover in due time the building purchased or constructed.
The institution ensures that it provides for the inability to retrieve the rented house until the State will get a cap on the outgoing tenant, which "clearly seeks to perpetuate the tenant within a home."
As Real Estate Chamber of Venezuela rejects Apiur regulation and equality in property costs. According to the group, is to perform the measurement on a little technical appraisal that sets a disproportionately low price that will not allow even the family that owns the value of the investment.
Also set a monthly rent of buildings, which in many cases will allow the landlord to pay the condo fee. "We ask the deputies of the National Assembly to resume the draft Law on Leasing that is already in the Commission of Administration and Services, particularly the members of the United Socialist Party Venezuela."

"We have nothing to do with Terrazas de la Vega"
These were years of saving, working years and years of effort that became uncertain. On 16 February the workers and owners of the residential Auyantepui were told that the property of the Promoter Casarapa in charge of the work, were frozen and until that day had resources to pursue the construction of the apartment in Nice.
The decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Justice against the Promoter Parque La Vega by the risk in which there are 150 families of all Terrazas de La Vega, also affected two other promoters of the construction group: Casarapa and Coindeca.
"We have nothing to do with Terrazas de La Vega, their situation is different, so we asked the authorities to separate the construction measures for the further work and we can have our apartments," said Yelina Melendez, a of the owners of residences Auyantepui.
Within Yelitza plans for 2011 was to receive his apartment, which reversed six years of benefits, vacation and utilities. Now not only must deal with the anxiety that makes you know that your home is paralyzed, but must also rent an apartment, because his sister, with whom he now lives, will move inside.
By April it planned to start the process of formalization of the apartments. As detailed Franco Patriarca, master general, the works of the first phase, comprising 265 homes, and are almost ready, just missing the final details on the access road and drainage connections.
"This decision has brought social conflict, family and work. Here we made an effort to meet delivery commitments of the work, even worked on Saturdays, but this drastic measure now paralyzed left us all," says Franco.
At least 350 workers are involved in this whole lack of resources. Although the Supreme Court on February 25 announced the creation of an administrative board of the assets of companies audited so far have not been designated representatives of the ministries that will be part of that working group.
"We went to the Ombudsman, the Indepabis and all we say is that now everything depends on the governing board. We asked for the names of the nominees, but have not informed us anything," Jim reported on his part Colmenares, representative of the workers. The workers have five weeks without pay.
"All we ask is that they let us keep working, we are committed to meet. This company has 30 years building housing solutions for the middle class. In addition, they have never failed to pay workers," complained Rosana Caruso, architect 13 years of experience in the business.
Despite not receiving their salaries, workers do not abandon the work. They say there definitely will stay until they have appointed members of the board or until the body can withstand and savings.
The decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Justice against the Promoter Parque La Vega by the risk in which there are 150 families of all Terrazas de La Vega, also affected two other promoters of the construction group: Casarapa and Coindeca.
"We have nothing to do with Terrazas de La Vega, their situation is different, so we asked the authorities to separate the construction measures for the further work and we can have our apartments," said Yelina Melendez, a of the owners of residences Auyantepui.
Within Yelitza plans for 2011 was to receive his apartment, which reversed six years of benefits, vacation and utilities. Now not only must deal with the anxiety that makes you know that your home is paralyzed, but must also rent an apartment, because his sister, with whom he now lives, will move inside.
By April it planned to start the process of formalization of the apartments. As detailed Franco Patriarca, master general, the works of the first phase, comprising 265 homes, and are almost ready, just missing the final details on the access road and drainage connections.
"This decision has brought social conflict, family and work. Here we made an effort to meet delivery commitments of the work, even worked on Saturdays, but this drastic measure now paralyzed left us all," says Franco.
At least 350 workers are involved in this whole lack of resources. Although the Supreme Court on February 25 announced the creation of an administrative board of the assets of companies audited so far have not been designated representatives of the ministries that will be part of that working group.
"We went to the Ombudsman, the Indepabis and all we say is that now everything depends on the governing board. We asked for the names of the nominees, but have not informed us anything," Jim reported on his part Colmenares, representative of the workers. The workers have five weeks without pay.
"All we ask is that they let us keep working, we are committed to meet. This company has 30 years building housing solutions for the middle class. In addition, they have never failed to pay workers," complained Rosana Caruso, architect 13 years of experience in the business.
Despite not receiving their salaries, workers do not abandon the work. They say there definitely will stay until they have appointed members of the board or until the body can withstand and savings.
Prescription for success
When he graduated as a pharmacist, Carlos Ocasio Roldan had two jobs, but it was his part-time job that made him an entrepreneur.
It was a small pharmacy's name was the surname of the abolitionist Segundo Ruiz Belvis.
"I knew that the pharmacy had potential," says Ocasio Roldan.
So when the owner offered to sell the facility, the pharmacist did not think twice, even though his wife was in the eighth month of pregnancy.
Gave $ 5,000 and the car that was to soon for the purchase, the remaining $ 30,000 was paid in installments with sales to the pharmacy. There were no banks or aid of relatives, except the signature of his biological father, pharmacist also to support the transaction.
"That was the only thing my dad gave me," says the employer stating that the day of success is the result of determination, to be well with suppliers and customers and know how to identify the times required to innovate and diversify.
Without hesitation, jumped Roldan Ocasio business with a cash and three employees. He worked day and night, Saturday and Sunday. Occasionally, fatigue Ocasio Roldan killed in a recliner. Then, on good days, the pharmacy Ruiz Belvis Roldan Ocasio left him about $ 600 in sales per day.
Some 30 years later, those hours of dedication have given many fruits, even in times of recession: a hundred employees, about $ 10 million in sales a year and what might be described as a mini pharmacy in the area east of the Island
Apart from Caguas, Ruiz Belvis Pharmacies operates in Las Piedras, Naguabo, and in April Gurabo, Humacao flag planted.
Evolution
About six years ago, Pharmacies Ruiz Belvis evolved into a pharmacy and convenience store, allowing the customer to buy the services or products you need in one stop.
"We have the money transfer service Western Union, gifts, Lotus, gas, ice, ATM, take pictures, sell liquor and to bake bread," the businessman, adding that it is not large establishments but spaces well used.
Asked by this newspaper, Ocasio Roldan recognizes that the supply response to new consumers, but also to the fact that pharmacies can not exist with the income of the prescription. "Whoever does not recognize it is destined to disappear."
"The cookbook is the soul of pharmacy, but the floor is essential," says the pharmacist.
Given the situation, Ocasio Roldan ventured into other business efforts. For example, in the case of the pharmacy operating in Gurabo, the employer decided to buy the building and equip it with additional spaces for rent. He also ventured into the rental housing and to date has about 72 apartments for those purposes.
Working Together
Speaking of success, Ocasio Roldan says that we must keep our feet on the ground. In addition, the laurels are not his only and are not absolute.
On the one hand, companies have grown so much that Ocasio Roldan and his wife, Silvia Mulero, ceased to exercise the professions they studied to manage the business.
The employer remains at the head of the operation and agreements with suppliers, his wife, who graduated from pharmacy technician is in charge of human resource management and certain financial matters.
On the other hand, although the pharmacies are an essential player in the health sector, manages to operate successfully is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Basically, we have become employees of the health plans because the managers of pharmacy benefits than they pay is the cost of medicine and a service charge," said Ocasio Roldan. "We have come to cases where it is interfering with medical therapy," says professional.
The situation calls for specific measures and buy in volume, but it's easier said than done, says the businessman.
On one occasion, several pharmacies were organized to create an information system to access online drugstore prices, helping to identify best prices, but the project failed.
"We lost all," says the employer is awaiting noting that similar initiatives are realized.
Until that happens, Roldan Ocasio reiterates that the company that runs continue staying at the forefront to ensure that patients and customers get the best of fast and convenient.

Julio Pereira, manager of the store Military Store, is more pessimistic. "The movement will be only for a week and died," he says.
However, it is widely believed to be moving.

The association is confident that if we can boost tourism, this will help the revitalization of other sectors such as ours, through for example the rental and sale of homes on the beach or inside houses, "said Renaud.
Apecc raised the possibility of applying reduced VAT super that Tourism has called for the hotel, 4% - to other areas as rental apartments.

Juan Gaviota, the famous unknown
The beach houses condo largest and most luxurious on the south coast had been marketed with a low profile and discreet. Now, with the same exclusive, competing with the growing supply of residential real estate in the Pacific off Guatemala.
To date, there had been no published report on Juan Gaviota on a national mass media. Never seen billboards or newspaper ads or local channels that promoted the most expensive beach houses in the country. Some regional magazines had shown the advanced designs of some residences. CNN also visited the compound to display on "Destinations", the segment of the exotic and exciting places in the world. However, locally, Juan Gaviota has always maintained a low profile, has been a famous stranger who has been promoted by word of mouth, so that you know only those who should know.
It is the largest condominium on the south coast of Guatemala and has jurisdiction only in size and luxury in Costa Rica. Located in Puerto de San José, Escuintla, 118 kilometers and an hour and a half of the capital. According to the bird's eye view of Google Earth, are 4 miles turquoise points (pools), green (garden) and brown (manaque roofs) around a sparkling artificial canal to the sea. Inside, covered with ant view, is a residential complex catalog. A parallel, quasi-perfect, in which raw, more than anything, the order and aesthetics.
His full name is Juan Gaviota Marina South, although some known only by the first or second. Emerged more than 14 years, with the risky idea of a group of entrepreneurs who visualized in 6 km of pasture, without land communication and electricity, the most luxurious residential complex in the country. The Guatemalan Miami.
In its first phase, the condominium was developed at 4 km and is home to 500 housing units (although the actual capacity is one thousand). The first guests, friends of the investors came to pre helicopter.
Then came the 12-kilometer road and a bridge 200 meters across the Achiguate, the river that had kept the area isolated from the main town. Currently, there are 300 housing units already built (homes, villas and apartments), with the remainder to total 500, are vacant lots, almost all sold.
In Juan Gaviota and no property overlooking the sea or the Channel-the most coveted, "one of the lagoon, but there are resale properties. In round numbers, the price of one square yard beachfront is U.S. $ 100 (most expensive) facing the canal, it costs $ 80 to $ 90, and facing the lagoon, from $ 65 to $ 75. The existing house is priced between U.S. $ 400 thousand and $ 1 million 200 thousand, explains Walter Gándara, the managing director.
This year, the condominium will add a new phase. In one of 2 miles are undeveloped will stand another complex of apartments, priced between $ 100 and $ 200 000 will compete with the range of real estate on the south coast.
According to a survey of Global Inspection Data, a research firm in the housing market, this stretch of beach have been built at least 15 housing projects totaling about 4 thousand homes.
These projects account (the Port of San José to the right) to Juan Gaviota, Linda Mar, Marena, Radisson, Doors of the Sea, Las Olas and Offshore. And the Puerto de San José on the left is San Marino 1 and 2, Punta Vela, likin, Bahia del Sol and is known as Monterrico, ranging from bridge Iztapa to kilometer 25, Santa Rosa (Monterrico only Taxisco a village, Santa Rosa, but has been given the name to the whole area). In that stretch are Pergolas del Mar, Villa Los Cabos and Blanc Monterrico.
On the south coast there is an interesting real estate market because "there is everything," explains Juan Carlos Salazar, Manager of Global Inspections. They range from a flat $ 60 thousand to a home that exceeds $ 2 million. On average, a housing unit costs U.S. $ 150 billion, a figure Maza. To this must be added the cost of decorations and furnishings, which houses medium-size averages U.S. $ 80 billion, plus the cost of maintenance and services that are less than $ 500 a month.
But this is a market, although growing, has its own sales pace: slow. "Fish" estimates that do not sell more than 25 beach houses per year, exaggerating the figure. His real business, he says, are the rents, about 300 contracts a year.
That is, for every two rest homes sold per month in the south coast, is almost a daily rent.
Marina del Sur, however, has its own dynamics. Not only does not require traditional channels of promotion, but that is not open to the public. To buy or rent there, the person must have three condominium proposed that as a neighbor, his three "sponsors." The request amounts to the general home owners, and if no opposition, given income. The procedure takes about a month and involves an investigation whose information is confidential. The other filter is the price of home: How many people in Guatemala can pay half a million dollars for a rest home?
The names of the owners of Juan Gaviota is a list stored in a safe. Exclusivity refers not only to restrict entry, but the discretion that is offered to members. But Guatemala is a small country. It is difficult to know, and guess what families can afford Q5 million for a home of rest, especially because the bill does not provide funding. There are names on that list a long career, business, political, active and retired, "artists. Under the umbrellas on the beach or in the table next to the restaurant is so easy to come with the CEO of a financial corporation, as a world-renowned artist or a journalist or famous American singer who was taken by helicopter. With a ruler in shorts or a Latino singer who fills stadiums.
The condo was designed to meet the market "triple A" local, said the official. Of the 500 housing units available, there are only 40 land for sale and less than half of the 24 apartments of the last of the 4 towers, still under construction. The new phase will begin pre-sold in less than six months, was designed by company engineers and architects Tinoco & April (which took the project from the tower III).
Topo market "triple A? Gandara is convinced that no. However, he says, are seeking to meet the investor does not want to spend more than $ 200 thousand in a rest home in the Pacific. The apartments in the towers I and II, in fact, those prices were around and were sold in its entirety.
Roberto Peralta, a builder who had a house in Juan Gaviota, knows the offer vacation homes on the south coast.
In the seventies, he says, his family has had a likin bungalow in the first and only residential condominium beach to "disaster." Likin was developed by the Venezuelan company Ferrobetón under the slogan "Pacific paradise."
Was, at the time, the complex's most famous vacation homes in the region, with large swimming pools, villas, bungalows, track planes, hotel and apartment towers. I was in the top 10 vacation homes, villas next to Amatitlán Atitlan and Rio Dulce.
But the construction of Puerto Quetzal in the eighties was buried. The port riprap generated a change in ocean currents and while Chulamar the beach 200 meters away in likin, the sea was introduced despite the barricades of sandbags. The current likin the area was behind the canal.
San Marino became between the late eighties and early nineties where exiles migrated likin. In those lands that were once the family moved salinas de Peralta. Then came Punta San Marino Vela and II and in the last 15 years has been dragging on the beach at both ends with townhouses. In two of them, Juan Gaviota and Villa Los Cabos (Monterrico) - were built apartment buildings.
Although there are beautiful beaches to the east, such as smoking, Flange and Las Lisas, the proximity of the Port of San José with the highway capital and Palin are two reasons why the projects in this sector have attracted more than half the supply and demand, points out Richard "Fish". Which also favors Monterrico, 5 to 15 kilometer, and the entire stretch of Iztapa to Juan Gaviota, the land can be acquired in property, while between 1 to 5 km and 16 onwards, are taken in usufruct for 30 years, according to the Bureau of State Land Reserves (Ocret).
The profile of Guatemala who buys a vacation home in the Pacific is a person over 35 years, with a home in the capital and a family and looking to have a destination on weekends, he describes "Fish." In the decades which has been selling houses has also confirmed that Guatemala is not much given to sporting and water activities, and instead is happy under a strong manaque ranch, surrounded by good food and drinks and a large swimming pool.
Many, like Peralta, beach houses bought as investments, because they know they are highly profitable goods. Between 2000 and 2008 the rate of sales of homes in the Pacific was more, Bill "Fish", an average of 40 units per year. But with the crisis, the volume went down and today you can get "good deals" for example, houses that cost its owner $ 350 thousand and sold in half. Signs "for sale" spend several months hanging off the property. But good business will always have a rented beach house, he says. The average rent on the south coast is U.S. $ 1.500 per month. If you only rent a weekend (Friday to Sunday), $ 600 for Easter and New Year, U.S. $ 2.500 per week.
There are those who, like Peralta who believe that the housing market on the south coast is already saturated. Riders like Richard "Fish" are betting on a business that moves well, but at their own pace. And investors are Jonathan Seagull, who like 14 years ago, when poured into an uncertain market, on a desert, will launch its new major phase. Gandara said that the project has so much credibility that it would need to be made to begin construction prevend with planes. Like 12 years ago, are close friends of investors and friends of members who will attend the opening cocktail party invitation. With a toast by the sea.
To date, there had been no published report on Juan Gaviota on a national mass media. Never seen billboards or newspaper ads or local channels that promoted the most expensive beach houses in the country. Some regional magazines had shown the advanced designs of some residences. CNN also visited the compound to display on "Destinations", the segment of the exotic and exciting places in the world. However, locally, Juan Gaviota has always maintained a low profile, has been a famous stranger who has been promoted by word of mouth, so that you know only those who should know.
It is the largest condominium on the south coast of Guatemala and has jurisdiction only in size and luxury in Costa Rica. Located in Puerto de San José, Escuintla, 118 kilometers and an hour and a half of the capital. According to the bird's eye view of Google Earth, are 4 miles turquoise points (pools), green (garden) and brown (manaque roofs) around a sparkling artificial canal to the sea. Inside, covered with ant view, is a residential complex catalog. A parallel, quasi-perfect, in which raw, more than anything, the order and aesthetics.
His full name is Juan Gaviota Marina South, although some known only by the first or second. Emerged more than 14 years, with the risky idea of a group of entrepreneurs who visualized in 6 km of pasture, without land communication and electricity, the most luxurious residential complex in the country. The Guatemalan Miami.
In its first phase, the condominium was developed at 4 km and is home to 500 housing units (although the actual capacity is one thousand). The first guests, friends of the investors came to pre helicopter.
Then came the 12-kilometer road and a bridge 200 meters across the Achiguate, the river that had kept the area isolated from the main town. Currently, there are 300 housing units already built (homes, villas and apartments), with the remainder to total 500, are vacant lots, almost all sold.
In Juan Gaviota and no property overlooking the sea or the Channel-the most coveted, "one of the lagoon, but there are resale properties. In round numbers, the price of one square yard beachfront is U.S. $ 100 (most expensive) facing the canal, it costs $ 80 to $ 90, and facing the lagoon, from $ 65 to $ 75. The existing house is priced between U.S. $ 400 thousand and $ 1 million 200 thousand, explains Walter Gándara, the managing director.
This year, the condominium will add a new phase. In one of 2 miles are undeveloped will stand another complex of apartments, priced between $ 100 and $ 200 000 will compete with the range of real estate on the south coast.
Sold house on the beach
The condo market Pacific property consists of more than a dozen condominiums built within a length of 60 linear miles (or 11 nautical miles), explains Ricardo Maza, a well known realtor specializing in waterfront properties, the many call "Ricardo Fish." This section is for Juan Gaviota (bordering Sipacate, La Gomera, Escuintla) to kilometer 25, Santa Rosa.According to a survey of Global Inspection Data, a research firm in the housing market, this stretch of beach have been built at least 15 housing projects totaling about 4 thousand homes.
These projects account (the Port of San José to the right) to Juan Gaviota, Linda Mar, Marena, Radisson, Doors of the Sea, Las Olas and Offshore. And the Puerto de San José on the left is San Marino 1 and 2, Punta Vela, likin, Bahia del Sol and is known as Monterrico, ranging from bridge Iztapa to kilometer 25, Santa Rosa (Monterrico only Taxisco a village, Santa Rosa, but has been given the name to the whole area). In that stretch are Pergolas del Mar, Villa Los Cabos and Blanc Monterrico.
On the south coast there is an interesting real estate market because "there is everything," explains Juan Carlos Salazar, Manager of Global Inspections. They range from a flat $ 60 thousand to a home that exceeds $ 2 million. On average, a housing unit costs U.S. $ 150 billion, a figure Maza. To this must be added the cost of decorations and furnishings, which houses medium-size averages U.S. $ 80 billion, plus the cost of maintenance and services that are less than $ 500 a month.
But this is a market, although growing, has its own sales pace: slow. "Fish" estimates that do not sell more than 25 beach houses per year, exaggerating the figure. His real business, he says, are the rents, about 300 contracts a year.
That is, for every two rest homes sold per month in the south coast, is almost a daily rent.
Marina del Sur, however, has its own dynamics. Not only does not require traditional channels of promotion, but that is not open to the public. To buy or rent there, the person must have three condominium proposed that as a neighbor, his three "sponsors." The request amounts to the general home owners, and if no opposition, given income. The procedure takes about a month and involves an investigation whose information is confidential. The other filter is the price of home: How many people in Guatemala can pay half a million dollars for a rest home?
The names of the owners of Juan Gaviota is a list stored in a safe. Exclusivity refers not only to restrict entry, but the discretion that is offered to members. But Guatemala is a small country. It is difficult to know, and guess what families can afford Q5 million for a home of rest, especially because the bill does not provide funding. There are names on that list a long career, business, political, active and retired, "artists. Under the umbrellas on the beach or in the table next to the restaurant is so easy to come with the CEO of a financial corporation, as a world-renowned artist or a journalist or famous American singer who was taken by helicopter. With a ruler in shorts or a Latino singer who fills stadiums.
likin successor
The land where John Gull was bought up in 1997. Is 6 miles long, about 1 million 800 thousand square meters. An article published in 2006 in Strategy & Business magazine detailing the entrepreneur Juan Monge discovered these lands and then visualized "a five star resort development." A public limited company as investors joined Carlos Enrique Mata, Javier Arzu Descamps and Walter Enrique Gandara. Roesch brothers made the design and in 1999 was the "first shovel" to begin building the channel outlet to the Pacific, tells Gandara. The extracted material was used as fill for a residential area.The condo was designed to meet the market "triple A" local, said the official. Of the 500 housing units available, there are only 40 land for sale and less than half of the 24 apartments of the last of the 4 towers, still under construction. The new phase will begin pre-sold in less than six months, was designed by company engineers and architects Tinoco & April (which took the project from the tower III).
Topo market "triple A? Gandara is convinced that no. However, he says, are seeking to meet the investor does not want to spend more than $ 200 thousand in a rest home in the Pacific. The apartments in the towers I and II, in fact, those prices were around and were sold in its entirety.
Roberto Peralta, a builder who had a house in Juan Gaviota, knows the offer vacation homes on the south coast.
In the seventies, he says, his family has had a likin bungalow in the first and only residential condominium beach to "disaster." Likin was developed by the Venezuelan company Ferrobetón under the slogan "Pacific paradise."
