Development
MIAMI:
Puerto Luperon Corporation, an
international real estate development
company, announced today the creation
of two international airports to
service Costa BayanA, its collection of
five-star, marina residential resorts
located on the Dominican Republic's
North Coast.
Costa
BayanA will be constructed over the
next 8-10 years, with the first phase
of the first resort, AtlanticA, to be
completed in December 2006 for the
Grand Opening.
"Costa
BayanA is poised to become a leading
luxury resort and yachting destination
in the Caribbean," said Pierre
Schnebelen, President of Puerto Luperon
Company. "By building both a
commercial and a smaller aviation
airport, we are making the Costa BayanA
experience accessible to residents and
visitors from the moment they land in
their own private jets or by commercial
airline."
With a
landing strip of 3,000 meters (3,280
yards), the airports will include 40
private jet hangers, and passenger and
cargo facilities. Initial air
service will include connections to
North American and European gateways
such as Santo Domingo, San Juan, Miami,
New York, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid,
London, Paris, Milan and
Rome.
Both
airports will be approximately a
10-minute drive from Costa BayanA's
OceanA Residential Resort, and about 1
hour with a hydrofoil service to
AtlanticA and BayanA - developed on
11,000 acres and 20 miles of Dominican
Republic coastline between Puerto Plata
and Montecristi. The
commercial airport will be located near
OceanA, west of the Bay of Luperon near
Montecristi. The general aviation
airport will be built between the
AtlanticA and BayanA
resorts.
The
Costa BayanA luxury resorts will
include six signature golf courses, 260
super yacht hangers, three cruise ship
piers and terminals, hotels,
restaurants and real estate priced from
$300,000 to $5.2 million.
