⚠️ Important Note: Land prices (40-110 USD/m², ocean-view 40-110, interior 50) and CONFOTUR benefits are indicative for 2026 and may evolve. Sea views vary by lot position within the masterplan. CONFOTUR tax exemption (15 years) is project-specific and not automatic — final certification depends on Dominican Ministry of Tourism approval (Decree 372-14, 6-8 months processing). Individual titles (Deslinde) are verified before any transfer. The 3-phase consulting service requires formal engagement letter before execution.
