We had a big presentation/party here at the Yellow Fin Bar in Flamingo, Costa Rica tonight. Tons of people including lots from the brokerage community. It went great. And more of a party than I could handle!
Construction on our first group of houses is moving along very well. After all the time we've spent buying the last, mapping, planning, permitting - it is a bit shocking how rapidly things are moving now! And it is very, very exciting. Come and see! Here is a shot of me standing on Lot 8, looking ...
Construction on the Phase Zero site (our first seven houses plus restaurant and a beach/bike rental building) has been getting underway the last few days. Here are a couple of photos! The first is looking across the building site with Punta Guachipelines in the distance and second shows the bodega ...
It occurs to me that I have been negligent in not posting construction progress photos here frequently enough. Construction has been going exceptionally well - on time and on budget. Our team is performing very well and we are very proud of them! I embarrassingly returned from my recent trip with ...
Our construction on the first seven houses is proceeding rapidly and very well! The earthwork for all the first seven houses and restaurant is done, and work is well underway on the structures of houses 1 through 4.
The earthwork portion of the first lots... is done!
Some more great images are coming in. This one is looking along the waterfront, featuring (from left to right) houses 5, 4,3, and 2. In a year... we'll see how it looks in real life!
A group of prospective Las Catalinas owners and friends headed out Saturday for a sailing outing offshore of Las Catalinas on the Hibiscus catamaran. It was a beautiful afternoon, with one of the biggest swells we have had around here in a long time. I always enjoy introducing our guests to some of ...
There is some exciting news in our region of Costa Rica, CIMA hospital has broken ground in nearby Carrillo which is roughly 40 minutes from Las Catalinas.

There have been some whales hanging around Las Catalinas of late - especially a mother and baby. Bob Davey took this video with a small camera from his porch in Flamingo Monday morning. Pretty cool!
From today's Tico Times: Beginning in February 2011, Frontier Airlines will begin offering a new route from Denver, Colorado, to Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, capital of the northwest Costa Rican province of Guanacaste. Frontier has offered direct flights between Denver and Juan ...
Earlier this week, Luis Diego Calzada captured some video of two of Las Catalinas' Grey Foxes. We're sharing this land with some beautiful and amazing wildlife!
This spring, John Paget & Chris Elisara, of First and Main Media, produced the pilot episode for a series entitled American Makeover. The pilot focused on Atlanta (or Sprawlanta, as it was described), and Glenwood Park in particular.
Perhaps the most noticeable and noteworthy land animal in Las Catalinas is the Howler Monkey. "Congos", the locals call them. They make a very deep, loud, gorilla-sounding call. The first time I heard it, I thought that surely King Kong himself was about to burst out of the forest! And then when I ...
OK, at long last I have retrieved some video from our dolphin encounter last month. This is good! Be sure to turn up the sound and listen - the dolphins' echo-location chirping was a very nice part of the experience!
I'm off on a study trip in the Luberon region of Provence, in France. Douglas Duany had recommended this particular area as a great one to study hill town techniques and examples. He was right! Here is a shot of Gordes, where I am staying.
