Honduras Próspera Inc., la promotora y organizadora estadounidense de Próspera ZEDE, está protegida por una garantía de estabilidad jurídica de 50 años para sus inversiones, de conformidad con el derecho internacional y hondureño. Honduras Próspera mantiene su compromiso de ejercer su evidente derecho legal de crear 10,000 nuevos puestos de trabajo en Honduras y atraer 500 millones de dólares de inversión extranjera a Honduras para el año 2025.
Sin embargo, esta semana, el diputado Luis Redondo afirmó que las ZEDE que fueron aprobadas antes de abril del año 2022 no pueden operar legalmente y nunca han operado legalmente. Lamentamos la opinión infundada del Sr. Redondo. La declaración del Sr. Redondo no representa un acto del Congreso Nacional de Honduras ni tampoco una opinión del Congreso Nacional. No está respaldada por ningún voto del Congreso.
Si la declaración del Sr. Redondo se refiere a Próspera, existen buenas razones para dudar que tal declaración representa la posición del Gobierno de la Presidenta Xiomara Castro. El Sr. Redondo no es miembro del Partido Libre; y el Gobierno de Castro ha declarado en repetidas ocasiones que está comprometido con el respeto al Estado de Derecho y con mejorar el clima de inversión extranjera directa en Honduras para crear más y mejores empleos. 
El marco de inversión de Próspera fue sostenido como constitucional por la Corte Suprema de Honduras no sólo una vez, sino en múltiples ocasiones. Fue implementado por al menos seis decretos legislativos y al menos tres decretos ejecutivos en el transcurso de diez años. La estabilidad jurídica de Próspera está garantizada durante al menos 50 años por contratos de estabilidad jurídica, tratados internacionales y la legislación hondureña. Si no se cumplen estas garantías, ninguna inversión en Honduras puede considerarse que estará segura. 
La estabilidad y la seguridad jurídica son un requisito previo para las inversiones a gran escala y a largo plazo de cientos de millones de dólares, tal y como tiene previsto Honduras Próspera. Para atraer nuevas inversiones extranjeras a Honduras en una escala nunca antes vista, los inversionistas de Próspera han desplegado un modelo de negocios que consiste en ofrecer una gobernanza de alta integridad y alta eficiencia, con fiel sujeción al Estado de Derecho, que cumple o excede las normas anticorrupción y otras, de los Estados Unidos y del resto del mundo. Este modelo de negocio emplea actualmente, de forma directa o indirecta, a más de 1,100 hondureños y sustenta a casi 100 empresas innovadoras hondureñas e internacionales.
Es hora de que predomine la sensatez. Honduras Próspera sigue dispuesta a mantener un diálogo constructivo con el gobierno de Honduras para encontrar una solución mutuamente ventajosa ante las diferencias existentes, lo que también sería una oportunidad para que Honduras mejore su competitividad, fomente la creatividad y la innovación, cree oportunidades de desarrollo económico y social, y mejore los derechos de los trabajadores, entre otros objetivos del CAFTA-RD, y que envíe un mensaje positivo a otros inversionistas e instituciones internacionales.

Honduras Próspera Inc., the U.S. promoter and organizer of Próspera ZEDE, is protected by a 50-year legal stability guarantee for its investments under international and Honduran law. Honduras Próspera remains committed to exercising its clear legal right to create 10,000 new Honduran jobs and draw US$500m in foreign investment to Honduras by 2025.
Nevertheless, this week, Congressman Luis Redondo asserted that ZEDEs approved before April 2022 cannot legally operate and have never legally operated. We regret the unfounded opinion by Mr. Redondo. Mr. Redondo’s statement does not represent an act of the National Congress of Honduras nor even an opinion of the National Congress. It is not supported by any congressional vote.
If meant to apply to Próspera, there is good reason to doubt that Mr. Redondo’s statement represents the position of the Administration of President Xiomara Castro. Mr. Redondo is not a member of the Libre Party; and the Castro Administration has repeatedly stated it is committed to respecting the Rule of Law and improving the foreign direct investment climate in Honduras to create more and better jobs. 
Próspera’s investment framework was sustained as constitutional by the Honduran Supreme Court not just once, but on multiple occasions. It was implemented by at least six legislative decrees and at least three executive decrees over ten years. The legal stability of Próspera is guaranteed for at least 50 years by legal stability agreements, international treaties, and Honduran law. No investment in Honduras can be regarded as secure if these guarantees are not honored.
Legal stability and certainty is a prerequisite for large-scale, long-term investments in the hundreds of millions of dollars, as planned by Honduras Próspera. In order to draw new foreign investment to Honduras at a scale never-before-seen, Próspera investors have been deploying a business model of delivering high integrity, high efficiency rule-of-law governance, which meets or exceeds U.S. and international anticorruption and other standards. This business model now directly or indirectly employs over 1100 local Hondurans and sustains nearly 100 innovative Honduran and international businesses.
It is time for reasonable people to prevail. Honduras Próspera remains willing to pursue a constructive dialogue with the Honduran government to find a mutually advantageous solution to any existing differences which would also be an opportunity for Honduras to enhance competitiveness, foster creativity and innovation, create opportunities for economic and social development, and enhance worker’s rights, among other goals of the CAFTA-DR, and which would send a positive message to other international investors and institutions.

Government

Honduras Próspera Inc (HPI) has raised an additional $60 million dollars, which will be fully invested in Honduras, in turn creating immediate jobs in construction and building the foundations for a long-lasting and sustainable future.
Most of these new investments will create the world class physical infrastructure required for new businesses to flourish in Roatán Próspera. These new spaces combined with the Próspera Platform’s business friendly environment will enable far more foreign direct investment into Honduras. This in turn will create additional jobs in different sectors, fulfilling the aspirations of transforming Roatan from a tourism-based economy to an international zone for innovation, finance, and entrepreneurship.
In total, over 27,000 square meters of new construction will be built, creating over 600 new construction jobs and over 300 new knowledge economy jobs. These new mixed use spaces will use state of the art architecture techniques that blend together the beauty of nature and sea in Roatán, with world-class sophisticated residential, retail and office spaces. Local materials and providers will also be used as much as possible, creating business opportunities for small suppliers in Honduras.
Investors and residents inside Roatán Próspera will also enjoy the world’s best legal, regulatory and fiscal ecosystem to do business; while guaranteeing the highest level of protection of human, labor, investor and property rights and of the environment.
HPI is already building the first vertical development along with Apolo Group, which is scheduled to be inaugurated by the end of this year. More than half of the spaces in that development have already been presold.

Economic development

ROATÁN, Honduras.- Apolo Group, a renowned Honduran developer, has started the construction of the first tower of the Duna Residences, an all-inclusive mixed-use real estate development that will benefit from Próspera’s unrivalled business ecosystem. The construction sets the landmark for the initial phase of this complex located in Roatan Próspera. 
Duna Tower 1 will be a 14-story building that will host 85 apartments, 3 levels of collaborative office spaces and parking, in addition to podium retail plaza. 35% of commercial space has already been reserved. The building is planned to be delivered by October 2022 and it is the first tower out of four that was announced earlier this year. 
Erick Pitsikalis, CEO of Apolo Group stated that: “We are excited to start this real-estate project in Próspera. Their competitive framework allowed us to save time, reduce risk and therefore lower costs by around 20%, which will allow us to pass savings on to future Duna residents.”
 Around 300 direct jobs will be generated during the construction phase with materials mostly obtained from local providers. An environmental impact assessment analysis has also been carried out by local Honduran experts to ensure the project’s sustainability. 
“We are very enthusiastic to see this project become a reality. Duna residences will not only provide new affordable housing options for young professionals to live in, but also collaborative spaces for new businesses to start and grow.”, said Angela Sosa, Corporate Affairs Manager for Honduras Próspera Inc.

Construction of Duna Residences begins in Roatan Próspera

ROATÁN, Honduras.- A high-tech wood workshop planned within Roatan Próspera development will use sustainable harvested timber from mainland Honduras and local workforce from the island to supply local construction projects.
Circular Factory will be a manufacturing facility focused on sustainable, low-impact production of high-end timber products for local construction and architectural projects. This new facility is a partnership between Circular Factory company and Honduras Próspera Inc.
“We’re tremendously excited to bring this project to Roatan. It will offer on-site and near-site digital fabrication capabilities for the construction industry”, said Circular Factory CEO, Dr Alicia Nahmad. “Both Circular Factory and Próspera believe in win-win development that is sustainable, provides jobs to the local communities, and creates long-term value. This new facility will use cutting edge digital fabrication technologies that bring local construction into the 21st century”, Dr Nahmad emphasized.
Gabriel Delgado, Chief Development Officer for Honduras Próspera Inc, said that such a specialized “digital carpentry” factory would be able to create international-standard products made in Honduras. “Projects like this contribute to our vision of creating the best place to live and do business in Central America”, he added.
The factory will take six months to build and construction will generate approximately 300 direct and indirect jobs. Production is expected to start in February 2022.

High tech woodwork workshop slated for Roatan Próspera

Apolo Group, a prominent Honduran developer, architecture and construction company, and Honduras Próspera Inc., announced today an agreement under which Apolo will design and build the first mixed-use high-rise building in the Roatán Próspera development. The multi-story Apolo project will consist of about 250 units that will help ease the severe shortage of housing for young Honduran professionals and families. 
 The project is expected to create approximately 300 direct jobs and almost 1,000 indirect jobs in process. Apolo Group said it would shortly announce the process for Roatán residents to apply for the construction and other jobs created by the project. 
 Gabriel Delgado, Chief Development Officer for Próspera, said Próspera is excited to team up with Apolo Group in delivering such an important and urgently needed project in the Roatán. “With the demand being generated by foreign companies hiring Hondurans through Próspera Employment Services, the problem of soaring urban living costs and the lack of reasonably priced housing alternatives is becoming more serious. Apolo’s project will meet the life-style expectations of young entrepreneurs, professionals and creative innovators, whose vision of a place to live is shaped by their modern way of life and bold aspirations for the future. It will usher in a new era of millennial living on Roatán,” Mr. Delgado said. 
The first residential tower will include one- and two-bedroom units, with highly functional and flexible interior layouts adaptable for singles, young couples and families. The project will also include retail space and restaurants, as well as indoor and outdoor lounge areas, trails for hiking and jogging, cycling tracks, yoga and meditation pavilions, and other leisure amenities.
 Erik Pitsikalis, CEO of Apolo Group, commented on the key reasons behind the company’s decision to choose Próspera ZEDE as its business partner. “The easy-to-navigate legal and regulatory framework, the streamlined approval processes, and the ease of doing business enabled by the Próspera Platform make investments and development in Próspera extremely attractive and business-friendly,” he said. 
 Mr. Delgado of Próspera said: “We are excited about the prospect of partnering with the Apolo Group, an experienced and well-respected San Pedro Sula-based company, to build this project. As the first high-rise residential tower targeting young professionals, it is a very significant first step in the development of Próspera Village, designed to become a destination of choice for a generation of aspiring young Honduran homeowners.” 
 Residences in the Apolo Group tower will be launched to the public in the next several months. Units will be available either for rent or sale, and those who choose to buy will have potential for significant return on investment through rental income or resale.
