Structure Update

We have made an update to our payment structure, intending to make your initial investment more manageable. Even at this early stage, your comfort is our top priority. Our new payment structure reflects this with less required up-front, and more upon delivery of your luxury villa.

We adjusted the structure from 5 payments with only 10% remaining upon completion, to 4 equal payments of 25%.

Payment Schedule

An initial $50,000 deposit is required to secure your purchase, which will be deducted from the total cost.

1st payment of 25% when plans and permits have been presented.
2nd payment of 25% when the foundation of the villa has been completed.
3rd payment of 25% when the concrete floors, electricity, and sewage installations are finished.
4th payment of 25% when the villa is built and finished.

Financing Schedule

You can see the financing breakdown below, with a 3BR model ($808,000 – Phase IV) as an example. This same structure will also apply to the 2BR models. We are not offering finance on the 1BR model.

We would ask you to pay the first 50% ($404,000) in the following structure:

An initial $50,000 deposit is required to secure financing, which will be deducted from the total cost.

1st payment of 25% when plans and permits have been presented. ($94,750)
2nd payment of 25% when the foundation of the villa has been completed. ($94,750)
3rd payment of 25% when the concrete floors, electricity, and sewage installations are finished. ($94,750)
4th payment of 25% when the villa is built and finished. ($94,750)

Once the house is delivered, the remaining 50% (+7% annual interest) would be paid in installments determined by your financing agreement.

For a 2-year financing agreement on your 3BR Villa, the amortization schedule would breakdown as follows:

Upon completion of construction, the owner can move in or choose to rent their villa. However, the title would not be fully transferred until 100% of the payment has been received.
