Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.- The luxury real estate market in the Dominican Republic continues to show signs of strength. Today, Cap Cana announces the release of the first villa within The Trump Farallon Estates at Cap Cana to the world market.
Villa Cielo, a 35,000-square foot estate villa, is located on a Farallon cliff-top home site of over 1.6 acres, 300 feet above sea level. This opulent villa is expected to create a new level of luxury within the Caribbean real estate market.
“The prime location of Villa Cielo within the Trump Farallon Estates at Cap Cana will draw an international audience of buyers who are looking for the very best that life has to offer,” said developer William Ganz. “With quick access to the private air terminal at the Punta Cana International Airport and the helipads within the estates, Villa Cielo is the ultimate Caribbean getaway. The buyer will relish in the elite convenience of relaxing at their luxury villa within thirty minutes of arriving at the airport. No project in the Caribbean can offer such access and unmatched levels of luxury.”
Designed to be one of the most luxurious and best built homes in the Caribbean, Villa Cielo may be the first home within the Dominican Republic to achieve the Miami-Dade Hurricane certification—an internationally recognized symbol of hurricane resistant construction.
Cap Cana president Ricardo Hazoury is delighted with the continued development of the Trump at Cap Cana project. “We expect this to be the first of a new breed of luxury real estate development in the Caribbean,” he said. “Villa Cielo and the Trump Farallon Estates at Cap Cana represent the privacy and exclusivity that the ultra-luxury buyer expects. I look forward to watching this project raise the bar on luxury real estate development in the Caribbean.”

I don't get your point here so what we shouldn't sale it to outsiders thats a very bad idea. I live in USA and own a house that many americans cannot afford so should i get kick out just because some lazy ass can't get off their feet. Or we should wait until they get rich and only sale it to them come on man thats not the way to move forward. There are many dominicans that can afford luxury and guess what they would love to buy it . Just because some people can't afford it doesn't mean they shouldn't build it. we shouldn't hate ric people we should find out how they did it.

people do not "prosper" by "working hard". if that was the case, Haitian cane cutters would be billionaires. if you want to see how people prosper, look at the likes of Bernie Madoff, and all the other Wall Street tycoon types. working stiffs, who do two hours of overtime every day, with a 30 minute lunch break, end up with foreclosed houses. they struggle all their lives to buy a plasma tv, and to obtain a Circuit City line of credit. guys like Trump make millions of dollars just by allowing investors to use his name. he does not "work hard".daddy left him a pile of money and a long line of great contacts. that is why some Haitian, who works 14 hours per day, will not be the next Trump!

No surprise that they would have one finished...that is called a showhome. But what does..."released" mean? I thought all these properties were sold in a buying frenzy a year or so back?
2ndly....35,000 sq feet. The average home here is 1000 sq feet. 35,000 is a wee bit obnoxious.
From: United States
PuntaCanaMike, i agree with you regarding the size of that home. with the risk of being labelled a communist, there should be limits placed on the size of dwelling houses. the reason is simple. land is finite. everybody needs it to live on. the population does not remain static from generation to generation. by simple analysis, if one family is occupying 35 times the space that is customary, and this continues unabated, the day will come when we actually, physically, run out of land. it is not rocket science.

JR, please wake up and smell the roses. People that criticize the DR and justly so do not necessarilly haters of the Dominican Republic. Some of us actually live here unlike most of YOU Dominican Yorks and see severe problems here that is keeping the country and its PEOPLE down. Changing some things like greed and coruption can actually bring this country out of the DARK AGES and really make something of this country. I guess you are Dominican and suffer from the ODDERGUY SYNDROME but you need to look right in your own back yard and not just blame things on the rest of the people who want things to be better here for EVERYONE.

I agree with you that we should make life better for everybody but getting on the song the Dominican Yorks don't know anything is not the best way to do it. Dominicans inside and outside know the problem. DR is not a rich country and having Haitians just flowing in illegaly doesn't help the situation don't forget they have tried to take over the island twice already so we have to be carefull how we handle the situation. I would love for us to be able to help them but we just don't have enought and if we don't take control of this we will end up being the second poorest country in the hempsphere. Whats happening to Haitians is not Dominicans fault is because they accepted and do nothing about it. I would love for Haiti to get off the ground and even better if DR is their help since we share the island but they have to do more than Sugar Cane and complaint while doing nothing and also be willing to fight for whats theirs which is Haiti.

Trup has been committed for quite sometime on this project. Regardless of the real estate issues the world faces today, the projects estimated millions of dollars in investments already and must move forward before those interest payment calls are due.
Trump has made alot, and lost alot. There is NO CLEAR sign as to how this gamble will go. TRhe success of the Dominican in the recent years was based on BOOMING economics, quite opposite of now. So the real truth will shine in the coming year(s)

I once heard a rich man being interviewed in Aspen, CO, about the size and opulence of his house-which was 35,000 ft^2: bowling alley; shooting range; heated, multi-vehicle garage; his and hers master bedrooms; movie room; indoor pool and sauna; skeet & trap shooting setup from balcony off his bathroom; etc.
His reply: well, I only built it 35k ft^2 because I couldn't afford 40k Ft^2. What a great answer! It was his money and he is paying high property taxes, the great equalizer here in USA, so he should be allowed his largess. DR could as well employ equitable property tax and benefit from similar largesses. Here in USA, property tax largely goes to school district and town govt operation, so this could be good for education in DR.
If you stop the rich from building his den, then he will just move on to another island with less restrictions and take his money and investments with him. We could, however, tax his property and benefit from his opulence.

What ever it takes, I would like to be a part of the building. I have 24 years of concrete structural experience and CAN NOT find a job in the USA. If anyone has any job connections over in the DR - please email me at mttellock@embarqmail.com. I would love to work in the beauty of this country.

i wish michaeltellock luck in finding a job here, what with the slowdown in construction. but, michael, if i encounter anything that will benefit you, i have your email address. and, GC, how can anyone remain friendly with so many people on this site to try one's patience?

I was at Cap Cana during the seniors golf and it is all rather tragic to see so few people actually living there and to notice the lack of progress but undoubtedly the project will eventually all come together.The main problem seemed to be that not many of the original purchasers of land had an intent to build or live there and as they can not sell at the present at a reasonable price and do not want to live there, the construction of homes has been almost completely stopped.
The infrastructure is not progressing simply because most of the workers there were dimissed late last year.
