We understand the "International Baby Boomer" market so well because we are part of this massive consumer generation. Today the Boomer market is no longer culturally or border divided like 20 years ago. Today technology has given the boomer a universal common ground that has inextricably linked them universally. We now build for the multi cultural baby boomer as one consumer group with only minor differences that have no major consequences. With conventional "Whole Ownership" 2nd home vacation home sales slowing with price resistance levels exceeding US$300,000; we have to wonder what is the alternative when land and construction costs make it impossible to offer a quality product and location for less. Evidenced by the consistent increasing demand, we are creating a balanced component mix into our large full amenity development projects, and introducing our "Chinese Menu" of varied products (below) to standard Condo and Villa projects, in order to cast a wider net for Buyer prospects.

Deeded Time Share: With increase regulation and Branded Flag Management by Wyndham and Hilton, Time Share continues to grow consistent with the growth of the $100,000 per year income that takes an average of 2-3 weeks vacation per year. Now finding legitimacy amongst consumers plus the added bonus of Property and Destination Exchange Programs; Time Share is expected to continue increasing in popularity and continue evolving with various business models world-wide.

High-End Fractionals: The more affluent ($300 - 600,000 per year income) Buyer has more practical reasons to desire a higher quality "Deeded Share" property. The higher net worth individual today is looking to enjoy his vacation home more and worry about it less, and is finding that Fractionals offer a "Worry Free" ownership at a "fraction" of the cost compared to the "Whole Ownership" alternative.

Private Residence Club (PRC): The leaders in (price per SF) High-End Fractional Sales today are well know Flag Brands such as Starwood's St. Regis, Marriott Ritz Carlton, Fairmont and Four Seasons. They have created a great formula for financing their Hotel Property Expansion -without Selling "Whole Ownership" Condo Hotels. Instead they sell a limited number of weeks in Fractional ownership and conseve the balance for their high ADR Hotel Operation. These Brands have added value with quality management as indicated by significant appreciation relative to similar properties.

Condo Hotel: The high net worth individual is motivated to duplicate the Resort experience when purchasing a Condo Hotel. Some mistakenly thought it would be a good investment but time is proving it to not in large projects. There will always be a demand for Condo Hotels provided that amenities and service is high and inventory is boutique size. In a large project a boutique hotel serves to set a standard and value of prestige for those looking for personal concierge services iqual to a 5 Star Hotel.

Condominiums: Today Condos without Resort Amenities, personal services and rental plan management that fail to duplicate the Resort experience are doomed to low demand, appreciation and profits for the Developer. A well diversified project with various sizes and price ranges creates a well balanced product mix that results in stable sales and demand.

Villas and Bungalows: Today 1 and 2 bedroom bungalows are equally popular as 3 and 4 bedroom Villas. The difference is that the Bungalows are almost twice as profitable to the Developer. Most important to the master plan design is a low maintenance "worry free" model typical of a Condominium. The Bungalow has the low maintenance appeal of the Condos and is highly rent able in a hotel Plan compared to the larger Villa. Ultimately the balance is achieved by considering many aspects of the project and projected target market for the property. Follow this link for more information on Villas and Bungalows.

Amenities: In order to duplicate the Resort experience one must use the Resort Model to attract buyers who find going to a 5 Star Hotel for vacations is an alternative to owning a vacation home. Top restaurants, world class Spa and Club House are not enough today. Personal Concierge Services rank high on amenities for aging Baby Boomer Buyers looking for the extended personal services that continue even before arriving and after leaving the property: pre-arrival grocery and beverage stocking, travel arrangements, personal effects placed in unit from storage, rental car, golf, entertainment and excursion arrangements. These are the competitive features that convince buyers that owning is better than Hotel Hopping. Follow this link for more information on Amenities.
