Government of Belize Breaks Ground on Corozal-Sarteneja Road

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- As of November 14, 2019, the Government of Belize has officially commenced the construction of the Corozal-Sarteneja Road. The project, funded by the Government of Taiwan with a loan of $50 million, aims to ease travel between the two locations with a 27-mile road, including the Pablo Nuevo and Laguna Seca bridges.

Legacy Global Development, the developer of the prestigious Orchid Bay, Belize community, asserts that the completion of this road, which is slated for sometime within 54 months of the contract signing earlier this fall, will make real estate in Belize more attractive than ever before.

"The breaking of ground on the Corozal-Sarteneja road project is a very exciting milestone for the Orchid Bay community," says Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "The long-awaited road will give easier access to the community, and will further accelerate the tourism boom in Northern Belize. With the road under construction and more interest than ever in the region, now is the time to buy a home at Orchid Bay."

When the project is complete, residents and visitors of Orchid Bay will have access to bridges between their community, Corozal, and Sarteneja, opening up new opportunities for fast and efficient domestic travel. These bridges and newly paved roads will enable those living in Orchid Bay to reach the regional airport in Northern Belize within minutes.

Even before the development of the new road, tourists have been flocking to Belize in record numbers. The first half of 2019 showed Belize welcoming 6 percent more overnight visitors than the first half of 2018. Orchid Bay, in particular, has experienced unprecedented growth this year, with 18 new homes sold between January and July.

The continued development of Belize means more and more tourists will surely continue to visit and also take up residence in the country. Belize's Northern region of Corozal, home to Orchid Bay, is becoming especially popular, further showing that now is the time to invest in real estate within the community.

Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first-world infrastructure, and 10 percent green space set aside.

Buyers at Orchid Bay have a wide selection of homes to choose from, including Beachfront Condominiums, Beach Villas, and Bungalows. On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, and underdevelopment is a 13,000-square foot new beach club with a 2,000 square foot swimming pool, a gym, restaurant, bar, lounging decks, hammocks, day-beds, and private beach access. An on-site grocery store and medical clinic are also projected to open in the future. Orchid Bay offers many activities and tours for its residents and guests, all with easy access to the best of Belize.

Legacy Global Development Shares Insider Knowledge on Why Belize Tourism is Growing at Such a Rapid Rate

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- The Belize Tourism Board recently released its January - June 2019 Tourism Statistics which show remarkable growth. Legacy Global Development, the developer of the luxurious Orchid Bay community, offers insight on why Belize continues to rise and how it's related to the country's current real estate boom. Read about it in Legacy's latest blog post titled, "Belize Tourism in 2019: The Numbers Are in For the First Half of the Year."

"Belize is appealing to vacationers for many reasons," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "Its official language is English, it's easily accessible from many U.S. cities, and it helps that U.S. Dollars are accepted everywhere. Belize continues to be one of the few safe, tropical destinations that offer sustainability, captivating wildlife, and a mix of welcoming, exotic cultures."

Visitors are drawn to Belize for its 185-mile long barrier reef, tropical rainforests, ceremonial caves, beautiful beaches, and its ancient Mayan ruins. The country offers something for everyone, including families, honeymooners, and more, and appeals to nature lovers, adventure seekers, divers, beach bums, and history buffs.

A sample of findings from the Belize Tourism figures for January - June 2019, include:

* Belize welcomed 284,576 overnight visitors from January to June.
* There was a 6 percent increase in overnight arrivals over the first half of 2018.
* Belize had 697,767 cruise ship visitors from January to June.
* There was a 10.8 percent increase in cruise passenger arrivals over the first half of 2018.
* Visitors to Belize came from the United States (66.65 percent), Europe (11.8 percent) and Canada (7.6 percent).

As Belize continues to show impressive growth as a top travel destination, many travelers are choosing to buy real estate in Belize, as well.

Orchid Bay, as well as other areas, such as San Pedro and Placencia, are experiencing a surge in real estate sales. This shows that Belize's appeal to visitors is also spilling over to investors, retirees, and vacation homeowners.

Orchid Bay had a total of 18 homes going under contract between January and July.

"This sales boom is thanks to Belize's increasing tourism and the many benefits that the country offers homebuyers," said Chris Williams. "Such incentives include low property taxes, no estate or capital gains taxes, 100% foreign ownership, and the country's Qualified Retirement Program."

Located in northern Belize and developed by Legacy Global Development, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first-world infrastructure, and 10 percent green space set aside.

Buyers have many types of homes to choose from, including Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, Bungalows, and homesites and lots where buyers can build their own custom home. On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a 7,700-square foot beach club with multiple swimming pools, a gym, restaurant, bar, lounging decks, and private beach access, which is currently in development.
