Investor FAQ

Project & Stage

The Sanctuary is a pre-operational development project with land control, site planning, and a defined execution strategy in place. Operations are planned to launch following successful capitalization and completion of required permitting and infrastructure deployment.

No. The Sanctuary is not yet open to the public. The project is currently in the pre-development phase, with operations planned to commence following funding and phased implementation of visitor infrastructure.

Key milestones include completion of funding, phased land acquisitions, environmental and construction approvals, and installation of core visitor infrastructure such as trails, access systems, and visitor services.

Investment Structure

Investors are offered an equity participation in the operating company and associated landholding structure, providing exposure to both operating cash flow and long-term asset value appreciation.

This is an equity investment, not a direct real estate purchase. Investors participate in the operating entity that controls and develops the land and business, rather than acquiring individual parcels or units.

The investment sought is USD 2.75 million for a 25% equity stake. This level is designed to fully fund the initial development phase, land acquisitions, and infrastructure required to launch operations at scale.

Financials & Assumptions

Projections are based on conservative visitation assumptions benchmarked against established Costa Rican day-use nature parks, combined with pricing, cost, and margin structures modeled in the project’s financial plan.

Yes. The financial model incorporates both existing titled land and targeted land acquisitions funded through the investment, along with development and operating costs.

The base case assumes modest initial visitation scaling over five years, conservative pricing relative to competitors, high-margin day-use operations, and phased land consolidation without reliance on overnight hospitality revenue.

No. All financial projections are illustrative and based on current assumptions. Actual results depend on capitalization, execution, regulatory approvals, and market conditions.

Land & Legal

The project is anchored by a core block of titled land assembled over several decades, complemented by possession rights and identified acquisition targets. These parcels are structured to be consolidated under a unified operating and landholding framework upon capitalization.

A substantial portion of the core property is already titled, with additional areas controlled through possession rights and defined acquisition pathways. The investment plan includes funding to complete targeted land consolidation as part of the initial development phase.

The development strategy is phased, allowing operations to begin on fully controlled land while additional parcels are consolidated. This approach reduces dependency on full consolidation for initial revenue generation.

Free Trade Zone (FTZ)

No. The project is structured to qualify for Tourism Free Trade Zone incentives, but approval is subject to formal application, review, and certification by the relevant authorities.

Potential incentives include exemptions or reductions on income tax, import duties, and certain local taxes, consistent with Costa Rica’s Tourism Free Trade Zone regime. Actual incentives depend on approval and ongoing compliance.

If FTZ approval is delayed or not obtained, the project remains viable under standard tax treatment, though projected margins may be reduced. Financial models account for this as a sensitivity scenario.

Execution & Risk

Key risks include delays in permitting or land consolidation, variability in visitation demand, regulatory changes, and execution risk inherent to pre-operational projects. These are mitigated through phased development and conservative assumptions.

Execution is led by the founding team, supported by specialized consultants and service providers. Governance structures will reflect investor participation consistent with the equity stake.

By focusing exclusively on day-use experiences, the project avoids the operational intensity and capital burden of lodging, enabling simpler staffing, faster deployment, and higher operating margins.

Timeline & Exit

Initial operations are projected to launch within approximately 12–14 months following funding, subject to permitting and infrastructure deployment milestones.

Potential exit paths include dividend yield from operating cash flow, partial or full equity sale to strategic or institutional investors, or long-term hold aligned with asset appreciation and conservation value.
