I have compiled a 10 point list of why the Investor in Panama, or an individual just looking to have a high return on their money, should buy at Bala Beach. Bala Beach community has a number of unique features that sets itself from any other project here in Panama and here is why:

1. The new highway from Panama City to Colon.

Currently, Panama is constructing a new 4 lane highway from Panama City to Colon that will drastically reduce the commute to Bala Beach from 1 hour and 15 minutes to 45 minutes. This is not a just a slab of asphalt with 4 lines painted on it, the new highway will be a first world, center divided, with a state-of-the-art drainage system and will be complete April 2009.

What does this mean for Bala Beach? Well, if you were to look at property values worldwide you would notice that property values located in areas with a high quality infrastructure are worth A LOT more money, typically 2-10 times more. This trend is especially more pronounced in developing world countries because of the shortage of high quality infrastructure or infrastructure at all.

To the Panama investor, there are a lot of articles and sales people touting their projects as located on the most beautiful beaches, in the most authentic towns, having the best views of the mountains or ocean, coolest climate, cleanest air etc… These are all great reasons and we all have an assortment of them because Panama is so well endowed with beautiful landscape and vibrant culture. However, when it comes to being less than 45 minutes away from Tocumen International Airport, no other project has it.

To reach these other projects, visitor and residents have two exhausting options to choice from. First, get in a car or bus from the Airport for another 2-10 hours. Second, wait in Tocumen to take another plane to a regional airport and take another car ride to the area. These might not sound appealing to someone who had just got off international flight.

With Bala Beach, these inconveniences do not exist. The new Colon-Panama City highway will make our beachfront community the closest such community that Panama Real Estate has to offer. Bala Beach will be 45 minutes from Panama City and International Airport. If the global trend continues pertaining to real estate values with high quality infrastructure, when the new highway is complete Bala Beach units will have gained and continue to gain a significant amount of property appreciation.

These infrastructure and location factors are one of the 10 reasons that Bala Beach community stands apart from any other residential project in Panama today. People who invest in Bala Beach are going to be making a very profitable decision.
