What to Know Before the Transaction
The project is under construction, so it is important to clarify the current stage of work and the planned handover date. The project is structured through a fideicomiso, which provides additional protection for buyers' funds. In the Dominican Republic, there have been cases of delays in issuing construction permits — timelines may extend to a year or more. When purchasing, be sure to verify clear title and the status of permit documentation. To obtain residency through investment, the minimum threshold is $200,000; this purchase does not qualify.
