Juan Dolio - South Beach of the Caribbean !!!

[Fernandez]

I think that the South Beach "image" of Juan Dolio should be dropped once and for all.
It brings a false sence of what has been accomplished to date, which is admirable but quite a comparative stretch to the real South Beach. There are areas in the Caribbean that are much more South Beach than Juan Dolio... really.
anyway, let's see how similar the markets really are...

South Beach Real Estate Blog | Miami Beach Condos Information on Miami Beach Real Estate

In think Juan Dolio is successful, but by no stretch the South Beach., not the Grove - Can we refer to it as Juan Dolio to misconstrue the realities of the place?
By the way, the H2O plant - supposed to be up and running 3 years ago, is deteriorating and slowly rotting away... any news? This is a real important matter that seems to be sidelined and we need to keep pressure on it to make it a reality for the betterment of the area...

Fernandez if you had bought a condo in the middle of no where wouldn't you hype it as mush as possible - else who is going to buy it in the future.

The car park is certainly a step in the right direction.

[Fernandez]

Juan Dolio has its place in the Carribean market place, but its a shot to try to compare it to the hugeness and depth of South Beach. The car park / bus lanes are something we should all push for to prevent any future disasters and promote the cross points to the beach areas... and its not like there is so much traffic that we would be causing bottlenecks etc..

I WOULD NEVER WANT JUAN DOLIO TO BE EXACTLY LIKE SOUTH BEACH BUT PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD ARE PROBABLY REFERRING JUAN DOLIO AS "THE SOUTH BEACH WITH OF COURSE DOMINICAN FLAVOR: I DONT THINK PEOPLE ARE VISUALIZING JUAN DOLIO AS THE NEXT SOUTH BEACH IN THE LITERAL SENSE. bUT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WE ALL HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THE AUTHORITIES TO KEEP UP THE IMPROVEMENTS AND MOST OF ALL MAINTAIN THEM.

Read on the other board that the barcelo talenquera was sold looks like juan dolio real estate prices are still rising there is still a demand for apartments on the beach looks promising from an investor prospective

[Fernandez]

Nope= staying as a remodeled hotel.
Hotels=tourists=interest in area= development.
$$$ etc..
The area needs a few good hotels to feed interest in the beach elephants.
It all compliments each other.

... and it should be dropped fast! It's a only an artificial image and the theory lacks any backup in what so ever!

For some years now, this image only rises property prices due to ongoing speculations but the infrastructure does not justify any of it and the most important thing for investors is missing: the consumer, people wanting to buy apartments to actually live there!
Everything is empty - streets, businesses and buildings... but one investor keeps selling to the next... prices are skyhigh and still climbing.
My prediction is, that one of these days the whole airfilled bubble is going to burst - at the latest after the next hurricane is passing by near...

Just take all the small enterprises: every few months, trusting the rumors of growth in Juan Dolio, new businesses (Restaurants etc.) open and then close or change ownership after a short period of time because NOTHING actually is happening! Just some investors selling to one another but no real clients, new consumers with fresh money, seem to be attracted by the hundreds of empty apartments and houses.
