May 25 , 2006 - Jardines de Ensuenos - Construction For Dummies


This is just a short note describing the attached article which happens to be the longest article I have ever written regarding the market in Costa Rica. Now depending on your level of desire to learn this market in depth will govern your interest in reading this thorough hence lengthy article. Even with casual interest or a press for time I suggest you read the front page at least as it does indeed tell the tale of how explosive the market has been here and why it is now considered the hottest market on the planet. However one problem that comes with an explosive market is the level that some marketers go to to twist the perspective buyers ear and the truth in the process and that is what inspired me to take a big chunk of time to write this article to combat some of the rather imaginative facts that are floating around on the internet. This article does include many pictures that I used to prove my points hence it is not actually as long of a read as its 29 pages would indicate at first blush.

On the progress front we are heavy into the engineering phase of our project with many meetings and directions being handed out to complete all the engineering requirements so that we do get what we want in order to meet our very high standards some of which is getting some advisers to learn a few new tricks as we push forward with the most energy efficient project of this nature ever built in Costa Rica. This area is being watchdogged by Frank Czul the best educated engineer in the country who carries a PHD from McGill in electrical and mechanical engineering specializing in energy conservation. This has definitely been a learning process for many on the team as they are not used to dealing with crazy Canucks with a seriously GREEN streak and priority concern for on going operating costs. On another front our first round of permits was submitted to the Municipality of Garabito last week so we expect those to process in the next two weeks after which we can turn some earth over.

Until later.
