Operational Information
Your investment will earn you an initial net yearly return of 5%. This can be substantially increased provided that you are willing to personally assume the building’s modest management and maintenance.
Maintaining the Plaza is quite straightforward as the construction has ensured longevity in its constitution. The building is crafted from highly reinforced concrete and tiled throughout and in fact has already survived various earthquakes and cyclones completely unscathed. However, should the Plaza require future servicing, the cost of labor in Vava’u is attractively low.
Earnings will further increase with increases in rents and the property will steadily appreciate in value. This investment has been providing both owners with a steady stream of extra income for over 10 years now.
The 2 owners of The Guttenbeil Plaza are also its builders.
One of the partners is an Italian gentleman widely known and respected on the island. He both manages the Mall and owns the Bellavista Café and Restaurant. You could not wish for a better scenario in a commercial purchase as he can assist with issues or questions you may need advice about.
Purchasing The Guttenbeil Plaza means you become the owner of a landmark building in Vava’u, but more importantly confers major investor status on you which translates into qualification for your ‘business investment residency’ Visa. Acquiring this type of Visa is invaluable as it is the ticket to building a new life, and pursuing the dreams you may have nurtured for many years.
*This offering is ideally suited to an affluent individual or family wanting to trade the hustle of modern day living for a more serene, eco-friendly yet comfortable way of life along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. If you are seeking an absentee owner investment this is not for you as there will be regular minor occurrences requiring one’s presence.
Your Bright Future
The trends indicate that foreign capital will continue to pour into the country. Additionally, Vava’u is the tourism hub of Tonga thanks to being a world-renown premiere ecotourism destination for swimming with Humpback Whales.
