Getting to Roatan's international airport is convenient, with non-stop 3-hour flights from cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami.

Pristine Heights: The Crown Jewel in a New Era of Caribbean Living

Architecture

There’s newfound excitement on the peaceful Caribbean island of Roatan. In the past couple of years, it has taken a leap into the future with the development of Próspera, a special economic zone created to unleash economic growth. And the latest addition to this new era is Pristine Heights, a luxury condominium development representing an early opportunity to secure a coveted residence in this exciting new city.
Details of their high-end residential development were unveiled this week, which addresses the demand for upscale living options for the ambitious citizens of this growing community. These new residences will support a city that is quickly becoming a haven for builders, entrepreneurs, and freedom-focused individuals who share values of modern solutions and prosperous living.
Designed and crafted by Lane Pettigrew Architects, renowned for their high-end modern and aesthetically pleasing Caribbean designs, Pristine Heights is more than just a place to live – it’s a lifestyle. The development complements Próspera’s vision with clean, green, and modern luxury living. The condos are masterfully sited on the naturally elevated topography to maximize views, with 98% of the units having a sea view. Additionally, half of the residences will experience stunning views of both the sunrise and sunset. The building focuses on sustainability, with the use of eco-friendly materials, discreet use of solar panels, recycling and utilization of greywater, rooftop gardens, and self-sustaining green walls. These considerations fit well with a city focused on finding modern solutions to craft a beautiful life.
Prospering at Próspera
Próspera is a platform where a community of e-residents contributes to building new cities, attracting innovative solutions from thousands of builders. As a result of this ethos within the community, Roatan will be the first glimpse of a futuristic Caribbean city, complete with a genetic biotech clinic, a drone delivery service, and even a Bitcoin Academy. A Bitcoin Center is added to the mix, with cryptocurrency existing as a legal tender within the jurisdiction. eResidents can also use crypto for payments almost everywhere.
The spirit of economic empowerment of businesses is underlined by their low taxes and business-friendly regulatory framework. The result is an advantageous base from which 21st-century pioneers can launch and realize their ambitions.
The community of eResidents has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of residential developments, and supply needs to catch up with the demand. Próspera’s residents and eResidents grew by 86% in 2022, and new corporations in the jurisdiction grew by 38%. With exciting new programs being developed for eResidents in 2023, those numbers are expected to grow exponentially. The availability of housing options for the citizenry is a huge step forward in realizing the aspirations of this city, and Pristine Heights achieves that with an exclamation point.
All eyes on Pristine Heights
Pristine Heights is bringing high-end residential space, which perfectly complements this city’s ambitions. Builders of the jurisdiction’s next-generation industries can come home to luxurious Caribbean views and vibes. Upon entering the building, the 4-story modern waterfall in the atrium will immediately capture anyone’s attention. The waterfall is lit in shades of blue at night, symbolizing the beautiful tones of the seascape within a few steps away. The building also features a beautiful library, creating a communal great room atmosphere separate from living spaces. The city features an 18-hole Pete Dye golf course for outdoor activities, the only championship golf course in Roatan. To top it all, residents can enjoy a relaxing time at the private beach or have a snorkeling, diving, or boating adventure, which they can inquire about at the dive shop. Between the comforts of Pristine and the nearby offerings, residents have a wide range of activities and experiences making up this fantastic lifestyle.
The location of Pristine Heights is also a major selling point. The Roatan Barrier Reef is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world. This can protect the island from the direct impacts of hurricanes. The reef acts as a natural barrier, reducing the strength of the waves and wind that reach the shore. The development is just 20 minutes from the island’s international airport, making it easy to get to and from Roatan and a direct flight from a number of airports in the United States. The convenient flight paths and an ideal beach setting make it the perfect location for a quick getaway or a longer-term Caribbean base of operations.
Adding Pristine Heights to Próspera’s evolving 21st-century frontier contributes to a vibrant vision of what it means to live, work, and play in this city of the future. Its clean, green, and modern design offer residents the ultimate tropical lifestyle. With the growing demand for high-end housing, this represents a rare opportunity for modern-day pioneers to secure their spot inside Próspera’s custom-made special economic zone. Residents will take in views of the sea, watch a city of the future being built outside, and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle amidst an oasis of innovation.

Pristine Heights:  A Vision of the Future Takes Shape in Roatan

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.

El Estado de Derecho Protege la Inversión de EEUU en Próspera

Roatán

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.

Jobs

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.
