The View Development is a CBI approved development. In 2013, the Government of Grenada launched a Citizenship by Investment (“CBI”) Program which allows qualified investors and their family members to apply for Grenadian citizenship. The Grenada CBI program allows qualified participants to invest in either approved real estate developments or into a government infrastructure fund. Both investment programs are designed to improve the country’s economy, create opportunities for Grenadian citizens, and improve, expand and revitalize the country’s priority investment sectors which include tourism, manufacturing, agriculture and information technology sectors.
The real estate investment program (Section 11) allows the approved applicant(s) to invest in CBI approved real estate development and receive Grenadian Citizenship and passports within four months from submission of accurate and complete applications.
Applications for citizenship may not be submitted directly to Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Committee (CBIC) and must only be referred by Authorized Marketing Agents.
The second step in an application for citizenship is for your Marketing Agent to establish through an Authorized Local Agent, whose role is to provide guidance and assistance in preparing documents for submission to the CBIC.
The Authorized Local Agent then becomes responsible for liaising with the CBIC in relation to all correspondence, queries, or questions that may arise with respect to the applicant’s file.
Each application is vetted by the Government through a thorough due diligence background check, during which time submitted information is examined and verified.
If the application is successful, the CBIC issues a letter instructing the applicant to complete the purchase of his or her real estate by the execution of all necessary documents. Upon receiving proof of payment, the CBIC issues the certificate of registration, establishing that the applicant has received Grenadian citizenship.
Under the CBI scheme applicable to Phase one of The View, investors will receive a freehold interest in a designated unit of the boutique hotel under a condominium scheme. Investors will also be entitled to have the use of the room for two weeks during the year, every year. As is common practice within the hotel industry, there are certain blackout dates (e.g. Christmas and New Year period), where a small cash supplement will be required for stays during these periods and subject to availability. The key ongoing financial return to CBI investors from their investment: 50 per cent of the after tax profits of The View generated from the operation of the hotel in proportion to the amount of each individual investment. We expect this return to rank ahead of the return to ordinary shareholders.
Units purchased by CBI investors will be placed into a rental pool, managed by The View. For this service, the CBI investors will pay a monthly management fee, initially USD $5,000/year and reviewed after the first five years of opening of the hotel based on market conditions. (This is netted off the investor profit distribution). Phase Two will also be developed with CBI investor funding, with the associated villas being sold off plan. The Phase Two design is being developed and finalised, with numbers to be published shortly.
