CONCEPT INTRODUCTION Porto Pafos is a luxurious resort development of 12 boutique apartments in one of the most desirable locations in the Eastern Mediterranean. - ocean front in Paphos, Cyprus - restaurants and bars on your doorstep - exclusive hotel-style operation - excellent air links to continental Europe - high-end finishes - return on investment Prepared by West Coast Properties and Essque Residences, this concept introduction is aimed at highlighting our suggested concept for the Porto Pafos development. Following a challenging few years in property worldwide and culminating in the recent financial crisis experienced by Cyprus, many developments need a “rethink” in terms of their completion strategy. This challenge is not unique to Porto Pafos,
Our concept is a purely a “refresh” of the existing project plan and marketing concept. The development needs to redefine its “mojo” and create a new excitement. Our plan focuses and fine tunes the development plan, adds international exposure and a rental scheme option to provide owners with a return on investment as well as assisting with covering the operational costs of the development. This is a working document, open to suggestion and creative input. We look forward to working with you to create a solution that delivers results.
As an experienced hotel operator and property developer in its own right, Essque Residences, in partnership with West Coast Properties, is ideally positioned to assist the Porto Pafos development in refreshing its concept in order to meet the sales and operational challenges in the future. www.essqueresidences.com
