Downtown Residences Punta Cana

That would not be surprising for this area.  After personal experiences, I would not recommend buying new property anywhere in this area.  If there is any Dominican influence at all in the project you can be assured it will be full of corruption and deceit.  Lots of promises and pretty pictures, a dream world you will be led to believe.  Upon signing your agreement your nightmare will start.  Just check any of your countries government websites and they will tell you about this countries dangers.  The government and legal system here are full of actions and issues against builders in this regard.  If the project is 100% international (which will be near impossible to validate) then you stand a chance.  My suggestion is rent first and if you have to buy, purchase something existing where all of the paperwork is in place and you can see what you are getting.  Dominican builders have failed this country.

Well said.

Thank you for your information and quick reply.  We did get a basic story that it was a Venezuelan Builder and that there was an issue with the permits and something ecological.  Youtube has a nice video of the project in progress; but I recently noticed that everything kind of stopped sometime in 2016.

I can only re-iterate the above but experience has shown me that people only believe what they want to believe and it's seldom the truth.

A weak part of human nature unfortunately.

I posted 2 new topics in the forum; but it appears they were quickly deleted.   It wasn't spam or anything like that;  I am just trying to gather more information and opinions on new construction in the Punta Cana area.   It seems like an interesting group here.  I will make my profile more interesting in time.

They were repeats of what is in this thread. Asking 3 times won't get you different answers honey. Keep it all in one place please.

I should have named the forum Downtown Punta Cana.  Planner was right, better to keep it all in one place.  I am looking for feedback on new developments going up in Punta Cana.  Two that have caught my eye are....The BEACH at City Place Downtown Punta Cana; and Westside Residences Punta Cana.   I understand there are some very good tax incentives thru CONFOTUR (I don't know if I am spelling it right) but those incentives are not available through every builder as it is apparently a very detailed process for the builder to apply for those incentives.

I have a friend who works in this area and have asked him for feedback

Here is what I found out so far:  City Place land is cleared but no construction yet. There seems to be new management since the original project manager got a contract elsewhere

@planner, as of right now. What is the status of that project? I am being approached this week about the project Downtown Residences and like someone mentioned before the information they bring is very vague. Please advise!
