The programme is managed by a specialist hospitality operator to hotel standards. The projected annual rental return is 9%, while the projected total return, including cumulative appreciation of the project, is 27%. Expected occupancy for the apartments is between 65% and 75%. The listing states that no capital gains tax is payable on sale and that local financing of up to 50% may be available. Investors may also qualify for an investor permit offering three years of visa-free access to Curaçao. Jan Thiel is described as a centre for Curaçao’s lifestyle and short-stay market. Five beaches are within a few minutes of the residences, and the project is close to Spaanse Water. Beach clubs, fine dining, cafés, nightlife, supermarkets, retail and fitness facilities are nearby. The area also offers access to water sports, dive sites, catamaran trips and sailing trips.
