While I am not vetting this project yet, I see a lot of big names associated with the planning and I hear that sales have begun. I hope that they clean up their website as I could not get into it and repeated requests for information only triggered error messages.

A curated grid of 75 turn-key sites launches in 2021 with viceroy hotel & residences, featuring a 118-key hotel and 77 branded residences designed by zurcher arquitectos, wimberly interiors, and an elaborate wellness concept by GOCO hospitality. the coastal town of bocas is known for its relaxed atmosphere, featuring an eclectic mix of cultures, turquoise waters with world-class surfing, vibrant nightlife and jungles.
The essential interest in how a community will work and function in life is realized through planning with the village at its heart. It serves as a meeting place for locals and visitors from around the world, with a shared passion for learning, growing and evolving.
‘The canvas of CasiCielo inspires thinkers and professionals in all disciplines, from art and culture, to technology, philanthropy and entrepreneurship,’ adds moshe levi. ‘we are exploring long-term institutional relationships with think tanks and incubators in such relevant fields as sustainability, environmentalism, oceanic studies and longevity to establish meaningful partnerships at CasiCielo.’
