Available Lots To Purchase
"El Pochote" is our inaugural neighborhood, containing 35 lots now available for purchase, starting at $145,000.
Since we aim to be less transactional than typical real estate projects, we are pricing our lots and homes to offer great value. We kindly ask that you consider whether the value proposition of our pricing is right for you rather than making a lower offer. If a particular property remains listed for an extended period without selling, we will lower the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, HOA fees are calculated based on the maximum allowable construction area (m2) your lot has been assigned by the Developer. Fees are approved annually by the HOA and may change year to year according to the Main Condo and SubCondo projected expenses.
Our Farm will operate to distribute food to residents, but also to sell organic "value added" products to the local community. If the operation is profitable, net profits will become a reduction in HOA fees. -
Yes, we are actively in discussions with multiple banks to secure pre-approval for financing with reduced bank fees for our community members.
Once all the documents have been submitted, banks can take between 4-6 weeks to approve a loan. We anticipate offering financing options to foreigners that may cover between 50% to 80% of the purchase price, typically with an approximate interest rate of 8.5%. For Costa Rican buyers, we may offer even more favorable terms. -
Construction of homes and apartments in our first neighborhood is estimated to start at the end of 2024. As for community amenities, we are targeting the construction of the main clubhouse in 2025, although this is an estimate, and we will provide a more precise timeline in the coming months.
-
Yes, absolutely. Our legal structure is that of an official condominium in Costa Rica. If you decide to purchase a lot or a house, you will have a full title, making you the owner not only for that specific piece of land or house, but also a percentage owner of the common areas, meaning the amenities, farm, and green spaces.
-
As a condominium, we have our own well and water concession, allowing us to manage our water supply independently without relying on ASADA (Asociaciones Administradoras de Sistemas de Acueductos y Alcantarillados).
-
Each neighborhood will feature an individual set of shared amenities, including pools and dedicated yoga or movement platforms. Additionally, all neighborhoods and amenities will be connected by an expansive trail system.
-
While you can design your own house, Shift will provide architectural guidelines to ensure aesthetics and sustainability. These guidelines are being finalized. We can also offer recommendations for architects.
-
Owners are welcome to rent short-term on reputable sites like Airbnb with a minimum period of one week. Renters who want to use the shared amenity spaces must go to the community committee for approval.
