Dear Friend,

 

Our CEO, Mike Cobb, has been working with new ideas to bring our friends, relatives, and other interested persons to affordable ways to enjoy the warm days and nice evenings of Gran Pacifica.This new idea might be right up your alley, and not break the bank.There are only five positions left of sixteen in a fractional ownership condominium in the first building at Las Perlas.

 

Unit #121, with two bedrooms and a fold out (for a third sleeping area), can accommodate six adults.It is already being rented regularly, as it is situated right on the ocean front overlooking the swimming pool, not to mention the world class surf waves just 75 yards away and the golf course opening this December. It is also located near the restaurant, should you choose not to use the full kitchen, and serve your meal on beautiful black granite countertops.Currently, you can own an entire condo up to $599k,but Mike thought it might be advantageous to have a great entry price for 3 weeks usage and ownership for ..$28,323.

 

2nd floor corner unit overlooking ocean, golf course and pool.

 

Enjoy oceanfront sunsets from your living room and verandah.

 

    * Over 1700 sq. ft. of living space, including 400 sq. ft. of terraces.
    * Granite counters, all appliances, appointments down to the silver.
    * Annual expenses, including insurance, HOA, utilities, and maintenance fees are only $787/year.
    * Social membership in the golf club is included.
    * See the floor plan for the Granada two bedroom condo here:
      http://www.granpacifica.com/assets/docs/granada_rivas.pdf
    * Inquire to adminATsunnycomfort.com, and ask about the Fractional Ownership.

 

Mike hopes you'll join him by contacting Kent today.These five positions will not last long, and you can start your plans for your next vacation by enjoying your own condo, or receive your share of applicable rent.

 

Regards,
Sales/Gran Pacifica

 

Ps: Even if you own a lot or home at GP, what a great opportunity for investment as GP grows and adds the golf course, homes, and additional condominium projects.

 

 

Dear Friend,
 

The front nine of The Pacifica Golf Course at Gran Pacifica is nearly complete. You'll see from the photos below that Tommy Haugen and his team continue to move ahead quickly, creating a wonderful ocean side course. Right now, the first nine holes have irrigation and electronics installed. They are cut, shaped, and seeded. As the summer rains move in, and the irrigation is turned on, it will grow green and be playable later this year.

 

The grand opening is scheduled for December 1, 2009!

 

Pacifica Golf Club / Milagro del Mar Charity hole-in-one contest April 2009

 

Hole 4, Par 3 open for play December 2009

 

You are among a select group to receive the CEO Special announcing the opportunity to own a golf course home site before the course greens up for play in December. The special Golf Front Properties are on the second nine of the Ruby Course. This nine is also under construction. When the reality of the first nine is apparent to all with eyes in just a few short months, the values on the second nine are set to soar.

 

Home Sites on the Ruby Course

 

    * Ruby Course scheduled to finish in 2010
    * Almost ¼ acre, all about 10,000 sq. ft. lots
    * Deferred HOA expense, save several thousand $$$$
    * Closing costs paid if you close before the end of June
    * Build later, resell, or hold to appreciate....your choice
    * Will be valued at $69,990 on July 1st.

 

Home sites on the first nine are currently priced from $119,900 to over $200,000. The value of these lots should also escalate as the first nine grows in and play begins. If you want to own an "early in" opportunity, a limited number of holes on the Ruby Course are right now priced at only $39,000. Financing is available. If you want a package and plan to resell some or all in the future, then you can own 3 for $99k. And we’ll pay the closing costs if the transaction is complete before the end of June. At the close of business June 30th, any remaining inventory will return to $69,990 with closing costs of approximate $2000. Own now, and save thousands of $$$$ on this select group of home sites.

 

The front nine are only a few months of grass growing away from play. The second nine, the Ruby Course, are under construction. Know that when the Ruby Course completes, the value of the home sites in this offering should be tremendously enhanced. You may want to take advantage of this phenomenal opportunity.

 

Be well, and respond with your email commitment today!!

 

Mike Cobb, CEO
Gran Pacifica Golf and Beach Resort

 

 

An audible "buzz" filled the air along the Central Pacifica coast on Sunday, March 29, 2009, as over one hundred and seventy guests arrived at The Gran Pacifica Golf Resort and caught their first glimpses of Nicaragua’s newest 18-hole golf course and luxury condominium development. With the constant sound of waves breaking on the beaches of this 2,500-acre Pacific Ocean resort, guests were treated to fabulous cuisine, a lively band performance and the excitement of witnessing the resort’s first golf event and competition.

 

The air was hot and balmy, typical of the days before the "green season", while the finest steaks and sumptuous jumbo shrimp sizzled on the open fire all day long. As well, Flor de Caña rum and refreshing Victoria beer were immediately available at every call. The festive mood was enjoyed by the local guests and a multitude of foreign investors/buyers that had flocked to the beach to hear more about the real estate opportunities available at "The Milagro del Mar Beach Club", the newest beach development within The Gran Pacifica Golf Resort and one of Central America’s most luxurious condominium projects to date.

 

Roger Keeling, developer of The Milagro del Mar Beach Club, and his beautiful wife Carolyn were entertaining potential buyers, foreign ambassadors, business leaders and other local dignitaries, including Mike Cobb, President and CEO of ECI/Gran Pacifica, and Raul Calvet, (Calvet & Associates), both of whom arrived to show their support and enthusiasm for the Keelings’ highly touted condominium resort project.

 

The Milagro del Mar Beach Club is now under construction, and the first phase of this much-anticipated project includes 52 oceanfront condominiums, two restaurants, a gym, mini-spa, sidewalk café, wine bar and shopping areas. The most exciting feature of The Milagro del Mar Beach Club is the fabulous water amenity that anchors the property.  Boasting two infinity pools, natural waterway, swim-up bar and beach restaurant/sunset terrace, the water feature is designed by the world-renowned design team at Aquatic Consultants, Inc.
 

 

According to industry professionals, the water feature at The Milagro del Mar Beach Club is unrivaled by any other resort facility in Central America.  Future phases of The Milagro del Mar Beach Club include 56 additional condos and 27 casitas.  According to Mike Cobb, President and CEO of ECI/Gran Pacifica, The Milagro del Mar Beach Club is the "crown jewel" of The Gran Pacifica Golf Resort property and will "raise the bar" for resort projects in Nicaragua.

 

The Gran Pacifica Golf Resort already contains the sold-out Las Perlas condo-hotel project along the beach and many single-family homes which have been completed and are occupied on a permanent basis.  Upon completion of Phase I, The Gran Pacifica Golf Resort will also include Nicaragua’s first five-star resort hotel, currently in the planning stages, and 27 holes of oceanfront, championship golf. An additional 18 holes of golf are planned for future phases, along with a deep-water, inland marina. The Pacifica Golf Club is currently under construction, and grassing has already begun and a scheduled opening date set for December 1, 2009.

 

 

Dear Readers,

 

Once again, it is time to bring you some good news from Nicaragua and Gran Pacifica. You'll see the normal sections about business, the economy, tourism, and humanitarian work below the opening letter.  As usual there is plenty of good news to share in these areas with you.  But we'd also like to draw your attention to the theme highlighted in the letter; mainly that development, social responsibility, and sustainability really do go hand in hand when done right.  We want to recognize the incredible support, time, effort and money that our partners, home owners, shareholders, friends, and visitors contribute to this reality.  Two events in March highlight this commitment, the Milagro del Mar / Pacifica Golf Club Golf event and the Braddigan Charity Concert that took place in March.

 

The first event was the concert which raised funds for the CHESS, Hope and Development Foundation, and the Love, Light and Melody Foundation.   The CHESS project directly benefits more than 1,800 children in Villa El Carmen and Love Light and Melody concentrates its efforts to help children living in La Chureca, Managua’s trash dump. Our many thanks to Kara Westermann and Lindsay Stenberg, who were part of the intern group last year, for their commitment and dedication to the success of the concert. We look forward to making this a yearly event and also to having both of them back here again soon again.  (Link here to photos and details of the event link below).

 

The second event was a celebration of the near completion of the Pacifica Golf Club course at Gran Pacifica.  Tommy Haugen and his team have been hard at work transforming the rolling seaside terrain into a world class golf course utilizing the ocean and many other natural features.  Roger and Carolyn Keeling, of Milagro del mar Beach Club, co-sponsored a closest to the pin and hole-in-one contest on hole #4 of the Emerald Nine.  Numerous prizes were awarded including golf clubs, golf wear, and a big screen, flat panel TV.  Over 150 attendees participated in the days events which raised $1,500.00 for the Hope and Development Foundation.

 

Also, we would like to share with you the link to watch the documentary "The Other America" aired on BBC WORLD as a five-part series conceived by the Netherlands Cooperation Service (SNV) together with Rockhopper Productions from London.  This series is being produced to raise awareness about how private companies with sustainable models can help reduce poverty in Latin America. Video link: www.rockhopper.tv/programmes/226# .You will need to choose "Episode #3" once you land at the Rockhopper site.  Gran Pacifica was presented as the best practices example in the region due to its business inclusivity program, which is being developed in partnership with SNV (http://snv-la.org/?idioma=english).

 

Gran Pacifica Director of Government Affairs, Adiak Barahona, supported the production of the Nicaraguan portion showing examples of how Gran Pacifica work with the local community as business partners, in addition to its philanthropic programs. By talking to workers, farmers, heads of corporations, as well as award winning experts and business persons, this series want to raise awareness about the ingenuity of the people from Latin America. Gran Pacifica is committed to communicate to the local and international public the positive results of its sustainable and business inclusive tourism model.

 

We hope you enjoy this edition and until the next issue, best regards,

Michael Cobb
Chairman and CEO

 

 

Right now almost everyone is feeling the stress associated with the financial uncertainties in the world. These are some frightening times and without knowledge and good information, we may feel paralyzed. The good news is that you are unlike 99% of the folks out there because you know that the world is a big place. Opportunities stretch far beyond the borders of North America. This is a huge advantage, but only if you utilize this knowledge and put it to work for you.

 

This note is to examine real asset class diversification and to bring you up to speed on what a difference three short years can make. You can still get in at the ground floor of this phenomenal opportunity.

 

Please understand, this e-mail is to re-introduce you to the possibility of owning shares of our development company with projects in Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica and over 5 miles of exceptional beachfront property right now. In the near future we anticipate adding Panama, Argentina and quite possible a second piece of property in Costa Rica as well. The advantage to you is that your ownership in ECI provides real diversification into Latin American real estate in several markets.

 

Diversification, as we know, is critical. But what is real diversification? For most folks, it was having your stock portfolio weighted into the various types of domestic and foreign stocks, small caps, large caps, the energy sector, etc. But unfortunately, this was still having all your eggs in one basket, the Wall Street basket.

 

Up until now, no one really thought that whole system could come off the rails, but indeed the system itself, the Wall Street train derailed and it didn't matter what sector you were invested in. All went down in the year 2008. The train many were riding in went off the rails and everyone suffered. True diversification is spreading your nest egg into multiple forms of transportation.

 

Some analysts, a very few indeed, were prescient about this danger and suggested alternatives such as direct property ownership, limited partnerships, and private equity stock companies. The difficulty is that many of these types of products are limited to qualified or sophisticated investors and the minimums are usually $100K and up. However, for the folks that qualify, these types of products have continued to do well even in a down turned market.

 

ECI Development is one such company. Shareholders must meet the definitions of accredited sophisticated investors, but for those that do, a real diversification is possible. Ownership in ECI is a means of holding direct and unleveraged ownership of property in 3 countries of Latin America right now. Soon this will be 5 or six countries as we continue to acquire new assets for the company. There are great buying opportunities in the region as weaker players struggle or fold up operations and ECI is in the fortunate position to be able to acquire some of the select properties that will round out our consumer offering.

 

Also important to understand is that you'll own a diversified set of business types. These currently include cable TV and internet services to our property owners, property management, rental management, home construction, alarm systems, and other businesses that we will develop to serve the ECI clients t who call our communities home. This is real diversification and direct ownership of the assets.

 

With so many folks out there promising what they are going to do, it is important for investors to look at what has been done and what is real. Promises made in this kind of economy may be tough to fulfill, especially if they have not been financed. Wise investors should closely examine the management talent and financial strength of the developer they want to get involved with and look at proven results. ECI is a consumer focused company based on fiscal prudence (no debt), profitability (15 dividends paid to date), professionalism (depth of experience), and proof of results.

 

You too can share in this success. To receive a short summary of the business plan, e-mail me at admin@sunnycomfort.com and we'll get that right out to you. If everything makes sense and you'd like to take the next step, we'll put you in touch with our subscription agent and they can provide the complete information for you. Free yourself from the train wreckage and be in touch.

This note is let you in on a project I've been following for some time now and to bring you up to speed on what a difference three short years can make. You can still get in at the ground floor of this phenomenal opportunity. Please be sure to check out the pictures below. You will see the reality created at one of their projects and the value delivered to their property owners with your own eyes.

As you know, there are incredible opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Latin America. This is an already huge market for US and Canadian Baby Boomer retirees, and that market will continue to grow for the next 20 years.

 

Recently we discovered a new place on the sunny Pacific, where a real resort is under construction. It's not often that you find an opportunity to get in on the ground floor, but this might be the one for you!! With over 2500 acres of land and three and a half miles of beach, Gran Pacifica promises to have a lot of room for upside growth. The homes and condos are rising toward the blue sky and they're stretching toward the blue Pacific Ocean.

 

Located only an hour from the major international airport in Managua, Nicaragua, Gran Pacifica has set the bar high for the development industry in Central America. ECI Development, the parent company, has project holdings in Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with Gran Pacifica being the largest and most ambitious to date. With tremendous infrastructure including real cobblestone streets, hand-laid brick sidewalks, potable pressurized water, and fiber optics (for internet and cable TV) that rival any place in the world.

 

And they have a golf course under construction....one that will be world class with a total of 45 holes planned over the life to the project. And the golf course designer has a special offer for our clients. This is your last chance to pick up a phenomenal investment property at Gran Pacifica prior to the opening of the golf course later this year. The bottom line is that you can own a golf front lot for the price of a standard village lot. For only $69,990 you will own a home site on the golf course with no obligation to build at any time. On top of that, Tommy Haugen, our golf architect has sweetened the pot for you and is offering $3000 off lifetime golf privileges with the ownership of one of these lots. If you have ever considered property ownership with Gran Pacifica in the past, the time to act is right now.

 

    * Golf course open December 2009
    * Huge discount on golf course lots
    * Golf for life for $9,000
    * Investor lots: build, hold, or flip
    * Add a home for as little as $87,000

 

In today's tough financial circumstances promises can be fleeting. While many projects talk about a promised golf course, only Gran Pacifica has one funded, under construction, and will have play later this year. Reality is something all property owners should care about. Gran Pacifica has turned a cattle pasture into a small beach community over the last three years. Already 7 families live onsite full time and more are moving soon.

 

The golf course, their crown jewel, will be ready for play in December 2009. To understand the magnitude of what has been accomplished in such a short period of time, please look at the pictures below. You will see for yourself, the reality of serious investment on the part of the company and the first residents who built homes.

 

Only a small number of lots have this no-build privilege at Gran Pacifica making it an exceptional investment value. Six home sites are being offered at this price. For the investor, this is a solid opportunity with a solid company. You may want to capture some of this upside yourself.

 

Take a look at the pictures below to see what a difference three years can make when the developer is committed to creating real value and tangible results for property owners. In just a few short months, the golf course will be complete and homesites and memberships will be going up in price. Owners of property here will once again see higher values proving their incredible investment savvy. Be a part of it too.

 

Be sure to contact me, and let me know of your interest. I'll contact the company on your behalf and make sure that you receive great service. My work for you will be compensated by Gran Pacifica, and will cost you nothing for this service.
