What $899K Buys You at Pelican Residences

"We spent two years researching Caribbean real estate for our retirement investment—Florida, Turks & Caicos, Cayman Islands, and all the Bahamas islands. Pelican Residences Grand Bahama won hands down. We're 45 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, so we can fly over for long weekends. Our waterfront duplex is rented to a Carnival Corporation executive—zero vacancy in 18 months."

"We're earning $7,650/month ($91,800/year) on our $899K investment—that's 10.2% tax-free. In Florida, we'd pay 25% federal tax on that income. Grand Bahama saves us $22,950/year in taxes alone. Plus, we qualified for home owner residency. The property management is seamless—CPH handles everything. Best retirement decision we ever made."

"As a German business owner paying up to 45% in taxes, I was looking for legal tax optimization. Grand Bahama's Hawksbill Creek Agreement guarantees 0% income tax, 0% capital gains tax, 0% property tax—guaranteed through 2054. I visited Pelican Residences during construction and was impressed by the build quality—Miami-Dade hurricane code, impact windows, reinforced concrete. This is German precision in the Caribbean."

"My unit was rented from day one to a Grand Bahama Shipyard manager with a 3-year contract. I'm earning $8,300/month ($99,600/year)—11.1% yield, completely tax-free. In Germany, I would pay $44,820 in taxes on this income. In Grand Bahama: $0. Over 10 years, I save $448,200 in taxes. Christoph, as a German himself, understands exactly what matters: transparency, legal security, and no surprises."

"We initially looked at Nassau and Exuma for Bahamas residency, but the numbers didn't make sense. Nassau properties were $1.5M+ for small condos yielding 5-6%. Exuma was beautiful but seasonal and overpriced. Pelican Residences offered the best value—$899K for a waterfront duplex with pool and dock, yielding 10.5% tax-free."

"We qualified for Bahamas Permanent Residency in 6 months while earning $7,875/month rental income from a Port of Freeport executive. The proximity to Miami (45 minutes!) means we can visit our property on long weekends. Christoph and Pamela's local knowledge and access to off-market properties saved us months of searching. Pelican Residences was never publicly listed—we got it through CPH's network."

"I'm 34 and sold my SaaS company last year. I wanted to diversify out of stocks and into real estate, but California prices are insane—$2M for a condo that yields 3%? No thanks. I researched Caribbean real estate for 6 months: Cayman Islands (too expensive), Turks & Caicos (good but no tax zone), Exuma (beautiful but seasonal income), Nassau (oversaturated). Pelican Residences checked every box: undervalued market, tax-free zone, guaranteed tenants from Port/Shipyard, 45 minutes from Miami."

"I bought two units through CPH Invest—both off-market deals I'd never find on Zillow. Total investment: $1.

Most international investors struggle to secure mortgages for Bahamas real estate—foreign buyers face 40-50% down payments, 7-9% interest rates, and complex approval processes. Pelican Residences eliminates this barrier entirely.

Our off-plan payment schedule allows you to invest $899,000 in five manageable installments over 18 months—aligned with construction progress from foundation to completion. You pay as the property is built, spreading your investment while the property appreciates 15-20% during construction.

The result? You own a $1.1M waterfront property (post-construction appreciation) free and clear—generating 10.7% tax-free rental income with zero debt service. Your entire $96,000 annual income is yours to keep, not split with a bank.

Off-Plan Payment Advantages

• Lower Entry Price: Off-plan pricing 10-15% below completed market value
• Spread Payments: Pay in installments over 18 months instead of lump sum
• Construction Appreciation: Property value increases 15-20% during build
• Rental Income Starts Immediately: First tenant moves in within 30 days of completion
• Customization Options: Choose finishes, fixtures, and furniture packages
• No Mortgage Required: Flexible payment schedule eliminates need for financing
