Two Investments Options
Equity Path
-
Investment: Equity as Limited Partner (LP).
-
Benefit: Profit share based on project success.
-
Preferred Returns: Expected double-digit annual preferred returns.
Investors who choose the equity investment option are poised to become valued limited partners in the success of Leca 20. This is the "standard" equity investment path.
Convertible Loan
-
Investment: Convertible loan
-
Benefit: Option to convert the loan to buy a specific apartment
-
Price Advantage: Secure an apartment at a lower price point
-
Interest Gains: The loan gains interest until option is exercised
The real allure with this option lies in the opportunity to convert the loan into the purchase of a specific apartment within Leca 20.
If exercised, you benefit in two ways:
Firstly, securing the apartment at the pre-sale price, while it's value is expected to increases as construction progresses. This is significant, because the appreciation in the apartment's value applies to the entire apartment price, which might be up to three times the initial convertible note amount. As a result, the percentage increase in the value of your investment becomes significantly higher.
Secondly, the loan gains interest until the option is exercised. Should you choose not to convert, enjoy the earned interest on your investment as usual.
Project Overview
Leca 20's apartment building construction project presents an opportunity for investors of all sizes to engage in a comprehensive real estate venture, offering the advantages and returns typically associated with larger projects.
Having navigated crucial initial steps successfully, such as the strategic purchase of the lot and the approval of building plans with local authorities, the project is now advancing in the construction phase of the 84-unit building. Investors, regardless of their initial investment size, can witness the tangible manifestation of their contributions.
Investors can benefit from investment diversification to their investment portfolio in multiple ways. Smaller investors can leverage currency, location, and investment type diversification, spreading their portfolio across currencies with the Euro, location in Europe, and investment type.
The exit strategy revolves around the resale of all apartments to the general public, with a target timeline of 34 months from the commencement of construction. Notably, 40% of these apartments are already pre-sold, ensuring profitability and significant returns for all participants.
Location Overview
Portugal
In the vibrant landscape of Europe, Portugal emerges as a beacon of stability and opportunity for real estate investors. Amidst the continent's democratic countries with transparent governance and stable regulations, Portugal stands out with its steadily growing economy and favorable interest rates, even in the face of rate increases. As a member of the European Union, Portugal benefits from regulations that actively support and encourage real estate investments. The country has become a sought-after destination for European retirees, drawn by its pleasant year-round climate, affordable living costs, and a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the influx of Portuguese-speaking individuals, particularly from Brazil, further enriches the cultural and economic landscape.
Porto
Within Portugal, the city of Porto, the country's second-largest, boasts a robust economy, contributing significantly, 15.8% (2020), to the national GDP. As the capital of the northern region, Porto is a dynamic hub hosting 20% of Portugal's student population. The residential market in Porto has experienced a positive trajectory, with apartment prices on the rise since 2015. The region faces a notable shortage of apartments, especially in terms of new construction, creating a demand that is met by strategic real estate developments.
Leca De Palmeira
Nestled within the Porto metropolitan area, Leca De Palmeira, the specific location of the Leca 20 project, epitomizes prime real estate. Situated just 10-15 minutes from both the beach and city center, this town enjoys close proximity to well-rated schools, commercial centers, and a major mall. The planned opening of a new metro train station in the coming years is poised to enhance accessibility, further influencing real estate prices positively. Importantly, the success of our parallel project, 'Leca 11,' located a mere 300 yards away, offers a testament to the region's appeal, with over 75% of its apartments already sold during mid-construction. This promising trajectory and strategic positioning underscore Leca De Palmeira's potential as a lucrative investment destination within the thriving Porto metropolitan area.
