According to plan, Bonaire will be granted a new political relationship with Holland, comparable to a Dutch municipality. This will undoubtedly lead to greater political and financial stability, which in turn will mean wider opportunities for mortgages, among other things.

Bonaire is a relatively small island with about 13,000 inhabitants, most of whom live in the capital, Kralendijk. The island is characterised by a delightful climate (average temperature 28 degrees Celsius) and fantastic natural riches, both above and below water. Not surprisingly Bonaire is famed throughout the world as a 'Diver's Paradise'.

On tropical Bonaire a fantastic project is currently under way, led by Building Bonaire B.V. This is the expansion of a luxurious apartment complex – the "Windsock" – into a high-quality, luxury resort.

Windsock Beach Resort: 8 luxury apartments located at Belnem, a top location right by the sea, close to the airport and Kralendijk. Each apartment has a spacious, tastefully furnished living room with open kitchen, 2 bedrooms with airco, two bathrooms and a large terrace or balcony. The open kitchen is fully equipped with such things as a dishwasher, combi-microwave oven and American fridge/freezer.

A number of the apartments have a great sea view. All the current and future residents will be given the exclusive right to use the recently laid-out beach just opposite. The eight apartments are for sale. The purchase price includes the fixtures and fittings.

At the top of this building there will be an extremely stylish and luxurious penthouse comprising an enormous living room, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 4 roof terraces.

Another 3 penthouses will become available, with the same style and luxury:. 1 on the new building with 8 apartments. 2 on the new building with 18 apartments.In addition, there will be 16 plots of land, on the property which covers about 35,000 m2. The plots have building permits for detached homes.

You can purchase an apartment from Windsock now, from USD 249,000 (costs paid by buyer).Buyers can arrange a 3-year contract, if they wish, with a guaranteed annual rent of 5% of the net purchase price.

So, it is not only for this reason that an investment in Windsock is an attractive undertaking, but also because property prices are expected to rise as soon as Bonaire's new status is confirmed.
