The development model is based on the sale of sectional title units to investors who can both enjoy the property for their own use and participate in the on-site managed rental pool. This structure provides the best of both worlds—personal ownership of a waterfront apartment combined with income-generating potential through short-term and holiday rentals managed professionally within the mixed-use complex.
