Sands Point Costa Rica Luxury Condominiums Goes Green

Miami, FL, December 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Sands Point Costa Rica, a 10-story, 71-unit luxury beachfront condominium tower located on the mid-Pacific shores of Costa Rica, announces the adoption of environmentally-conscious construction strategies and a commitment to the economic and social benefits of sustainability. Sands Point developers recently advanced several design additions that more closely align the project with the ecological preservation and energy conservation goals widely held by its future residents. To celebrate, Miami-based private equity fund, Tidewater Partners Fund, LP, is offering significant savings and incentives for new investors.

In early 2009, Sands Point Costa Rica underwent a formal “green audit” resulting in the adoption of plans to maximize the energy, water and waste management of the development, as well as the biodiversity of its grounds and surrounding environment. Some of the items reviewed include, alternative transportation options, erosion and sediment control, reduced site disturbance, water-efficient landscaping, and the use of rapidly renewable materials. Project designers also proposed the inclusion of unique living wall landscaping, and another design proposal that would be Costa Rica's first vertical organic community garden.

Because each region of the world has very different environmental conditions and ecological needs, green building practices and standards vary significantly around the globe. In fact, along with Brazil and Mexico, Costa Rica is the only Latin American country with a national chapter of the World Green Building Council (www.worldgbc.org), the Costa Rica Green Building Council (www.crgbc.org). Sands Point project planners are focusing on green building strategies unique to Costa Rica for developing sustainable properties.

Costa Rica is one of the few countries in the world to produce electricity without the use of nuclear or fossil fuels. Yet, a construction project with energy conservation integral to its design forms only one part of environmental preservation for the entire country. Going beyond the project walls, Sands Point Costa Rica has also made a commitment to the Nature Conservancy in Costa Rica (www.nature.org) to support reforestation of the indigenous woods that are key to preserving the 5% of global biodiversity harbored within the country's borders. For each bedroom in the Sands Point tower, the development will support the planting of 100 trees and for every bathroom 50 trees. In addition, for each unit sold, residents of Sands Point will protect 5 acres of Costa Rica rainforest with contributions to the conservancy made by the project’s environmental fund.

Thus, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium at Sands Point Costa Rica contributes 300 new trees and 5 preserved acres of rainforest supporting the nation’s goal to be carbon neutral by 2021. To help drive this effort, Tidewater Partners Fund is offering significant incentives for new investors: For only $5,000 down in the next 30 days, future owners will receive 15% off the purchase price. The funds will be held by Stewart Title and are fully refundable.

Located near the port city of Puntarenas, and home to San Jose’s closest beach, residents of Sands Point Costa Rica will enjoy a wide variety of modern shopping, entertainment and dining pleasures within minutes of lush tropical jungles. With balcony views overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya islands, Sands Point Costa Rica will blend the luxury of a modern, elegant beach side community with a tropical ,environmentally conscious lifestyle.

The lifestyle of your dreams is now waiting for you, on the sandy shores of Costa Rica’s enchanting Pacific coast. Make it yours forever and simultaneously protect the environment today while preserving it for tomorrow.
