Key facts about the La Cañada development project:

  • The payment schedule changed to a full bullet to support a fast completion of the project.

The update for 09.2023

We would like to provide you with an important update on the progress of the La Canada development project. Following comprehensive audits and reviews by our new management team in Spain, we have developed an action plan to address the challenges and ensure the successful completion of the project.

The conclusions drawn from the audits indicate that the construction quality of the buildings is below the agreed standards, and improvements are required in the building layouts and landscape design. That has been the reason why we needed to stop the construction and funding until a new course has been set, as continuing the same way would have led to losses. In response, we are implementing a new concept that will elevate the value of the properties, transforming them into higher quality villas. These enhancements will significantly increase the sale value of the completed buildings, also providing a faster selling process.

To execute the necessary changes and complete all four buildings, we anticipate a projected timeline of approximately six months. The selling process will be restarted next month, accompanied by the introduction of the new concept and the engagement of a new agency to attract potential buyers.

In terms of financing, the total funding required to implement these improvements and transform the single houses into high-quality villas is estimated at 900,000 EUR (before taxes). We will secure a portion of the funding through pre-sales, while the remaining amount will be sourced from our platform.

In order to prioritize the fast completion of the project and ensure that all investors receive the promised interest in full, we will need to make an adjustment to the payment structure. Instead of monthly interest payments, we will need to postpone these payments until the end of the project duration. This means that the project will operate as a full bullet loan.

We understand the significance of these changes and the impact they have on your investments. However, we firmly believe that these adjustments are necessary to achieve the promised outcome for all investors involved.

We greatly appreciate your patience as we work diligently to bring this project to a successful conclusion. Thank you for all the feedback and for supporting us in the problem-solving process. We will provide regular updates on the progress and remain committed to delivering a high-quality development that meets your expectations.

The update for 06.2023

We will be conducting a full review of the project progress to make adjustments to the initial plan, including the selling of the ready houses since the works on the project are taking a bit longer than estimated. The total costs to complete all 4 buildings is around 500’000 EUR. The selling process is ongoing and there have been several interested buyers visiting the construction site.

Swimming Pools and Terraces:

Given the prevalent preference for residential pools in Spain, we have incorporated a pool into each house.

  • Constructed reinforced concrete pools with walls reaching up to 3 meters in height for each residence.
  • Built a terrace connecting the house and the pool, providing some cozy space for outside activities.
  • Prepared the terrain for the installation of garages and fences around the houses.

Residences:

  • Erected interior partitions using 7 cm thick hollow ceramic bricks, finished with a layer of putty.
  • Constructed exterior walls of the houses using hollow thermoinsulating bricks.
  • Installed fire-resistant doors for enhanced safety in the basement.
  • Completed electrical wiring installation in all houses, excluding sockets and light switches.
  • Implemented necessary piping for water connection.
  • Insulated the roofs using “DANOLOSA” material, providing a total of five layers for insulation and water resistance.
  • Installed the AIRBUR TERMIC S-YC 13MM insulation system to reduce noise transmission.
  • Completed thermal insulation of slab fronts and pillars by 50%.
  • Completed 50% of bathroom wall tiling using GRESPANIA ceramic tiles.
  • Finished floor tiling in three houses.
  • Performed the puttying for walls of the basement and finishing of the ceiling.
  • Acquired a portion of the materials required for facade insulation and construction; however, work on this aspect has not yet commenced.

The basis for the terraces and the pools are built now on all the houses are getting ready for tiling. Internal works are almost done. The next steps would include the installation of windows and doors, as well as later facade works.

The initial state of the project in 05.2022

Last year in March, we published our fifth project from Spain, which is fully developed and managed by the Reinvest24 team. It consisted of 4 independent family houses with a private garden and a swimming pool. The developer has started the construction but didn’t have enough resources to proceed with the construction processes. At the time of purchasing this project, all 4 buildings had basic frames built without walls and rooftop.
