London & Regional Panama

planea la construcción de una mini ciudad en la antigua Base de Howard.

Jason Mills

director de L&R, dijo que su proyecto se realizara a lo largo de 8 años y que 405 millones seran invertidos.
El desarrollo del area de Howard, una antigua base aerea de la Fuerza Aerea de los Estados Unidos incluye el desarollo del puerto multimodal.
Debido a la existencia de la infraestructura area, que constituye la pista aerea mas grande de latinoamerica con un area de 2.75 km, ademas de la cercania con el canal de Panama, por el cual atraviesa el 60% del comercio hacia y desde Estados Unidos, hacen que el proyecto multimodal se perfile con excelentes expectativas.

El gobierno debe estar por aprobar por consejo de gabinete la ratificacion de este proyecto. Aunque este proyecto tampoco ha escapado del escandalo, por una supuesta relacion con inversionistas colombianos.
Despues del decreto del gobierno panameño, se espera que

London & Regional Panama

, entregue un plan maestro de desarrollo en un período de 3 meses.

Howard Development
London & Regional Panama


"It cannot be overstated that Panama now presents global opportunities non-existing in other neighboring latin american countries since the deprarture of the U.S. Howard, like many other former U.S. controlled sites in the former Canal Zone, have the advandage of haveing most of its former infratstructure in place; ie, residential home sites, buldings, roads, water, electricity, sewage, etc., requiring much less investment than would normally be expected for a development of this magnitude. The former US Air Force Base in Howard is the largest landing strip in Latin America and complete with hangers, towers, etc."

King Fisher Bay - Pearl Islands Panama

Pearl Island Real Estate is truly unique in several ways.
For one, it is veritably unspoiled island real estate. The Pearl Islands have mangaged to remain pristine, beautiful and virtually untouched over the years. Its water´s abound with wildlife such as: sea turtles, whales, dolphins, whalesharks, a huge array of game fish such as marlin, tuna, wahoo and sailfish to name a few. In the jungles of the Pearl Islands you can find such wildlife as, parrots, toucans, deer, iguanas, monkeys, agouties, and anteaters.
The Pearl Islands are also home to an incredible history dating back to the times of the Spanish Explorers. Many of the Pearl Islands served as hiding places for treasures looted by Pirates such as Henry Morgan, Sir Francis Drake and Balboa. In fact, last year a Spanish Galleon with over 50 million dollars worth of treasure was found off the coast of the Perlas Islands. At one point in its history, the Pearl Islands were famous for, you guessed it, pearls. The most famous of the Pearl Island Pearls is a A 31-carat, 400-year-old Peregrine pearl now owned by Elizabeth Taylor. Its previous owners included the Queen of Spain, a French Emperor and an English Queen.
Buying Pearl Island Real Estate is safe. In Panama, all foreign and national investors are guaranteed equal rights by law, furthermore, foreign investors do not require special authorizations, permits or prior registration. Foreign investors are encouraged to, and able to obtain Panamanian residency through several different venues. Additionally, because Panama has the stability of the US Dollar as its currency, a modern and extensive International Banking Center, low cost of living, labor and construction expenses it is one of the best business infrastructures in Latin America and the Caribbean. Additionally, Panama was recently voted one of the top 10 best countries to retire abroad in by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)

Figali and his marina.

photo by La Prensa
Jean Figali, colombian-panamanian investor, whom project development is on a legal hold, not so effective by the way, because although local authorites ordered a suspension of the marine filling he already started to build.

Figali's well known relations with the previous goverment administration, and his "compadre" William Spadafora, member of the Supreme Court, eased his papeword and permissions for the construction.

He argues that the extinct ARI (Autoridad de la Region Interoceanica) gave him all the required permissions to carry on his multimillionaire project. And of course his compadre rules always in his favor, what a convenient law. Thanks god panamanian blood is as cold as fish.

here i attach a translated extract from La Prensa that dates Panama, Wednesday 13 of 2005
"Once again, the Supreme Court of Justice - specifically the Room Third generates controversy. In this occasion one is a case that it has like protagonist to Jean Figali, a member of the circle of friendships of the ex- president of the Republic Mireya Moscoso.
The located land industralist and concessionaire affluent Loving in - to that granted a diplomatic passport to him during the government of Moscoso- obtained from the Room Third of the Court, and with the communication of the magistrate Winston Spadafora, the “immediate suspension of the effects of Note ARI-AG-4491-2004 of 1 of December of 2004, emitted by the Authority of the Region Interoceánica (ARI)”.
By means of the failure of the 22 of June - objected by the magistrate Adam Arnulfo Arjona- the International with the institution is tried to lapse the decision of the ARI to maintain the use of the debt of Group F. and that until the 30 of November of 2004 surpassed the 2 million dollars.
Figali had asked for to the ARI the “comparison” of the renting with other areas of Loving, with the objective to obtain a reduction in the price agreed originally.
Like answer to their request, the ARI independently proposed a gradual formula of payment for the cancellation of the dilatoriness that determined to maintain, that the institution acceded or not to its request of “comparison”.
Thus, the note that soon was resorted by Figali before the Room Third of the Court determined that “the comparison does not operate of retroactive way and, therefore, its debt before the ARI stays”.
The relations of Figali with the last administration allowed the organization him of the aid of beauty Universal Miss 2003 in the Figali Convention Center de Amador.
