The Opportunity

Captive demand, zero supply.

The Jacó–Herradura corridor holds one of the highest concentrations of condominiums in Costa Rica — an estimated 5,000+ units, with 70–80% owned by non-resident North Americans.

These snowbirds and vacation homeowners visit one to three months a year and leave behind furniture, vehicles, and surf equipment with nowhere secure to store them.

No climate-controlled self-storage currently exists in the market.

Latitude Ten Forty Ventures intends to be the first mover — a modern, secure, Class A facility positioned along the primary traffic funnel to Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast.

Why Jacó

Five structural market drivers.

Jacó has matured from a quiet surf town into a hub for tourism, foreign investment, and real estate — roughly a 90-minute drive from San José's international airport.

Driver 01

Traffic Funnel

Highway 34 routes nearly all traffic to the southern Pacific coast — Manuel Antonio, Dominical, Uvita — directly through Jacó.

Driver 02

High-Density Core

5,000+ condominium units in the immediate region, including beachfront high-rises and the Los Sueños marina community in Herradura.

Driver 03

Captive, Price-Insensitive Demand

70–80% of units are foreign-owned. Non-resident owners have no storage alternative — a sticky, recurring tenant base.

Driver 04

Favorable Environment

The Plan Regulador zones central Jacó for commercial use. Foreign investors hold the same property rights as citizens.

Driver 05

Stable Jurisdiction

Costa Rica: democratic since 1949, a clear national title registry, and equal protections for foreign investors.

Comparable

Proven Model

Comparable expat markets — Los Cabos, Riviera Maya — achieve $200–$315 per unit per month at high occupancy.

Economics

Returns & distribution structure.

An all-equity capital stack eliminates construction-debt risk and lender covenants. Breakeven sits at 25.2% occupancy — profitable at fewer than one in four units leased.

Strengths

Why this deal works.

  • First-mover — no climate-controlled competitor exists in Jacó or the immediate region.
  • Solar-paneled, gabled-roof design with Class A drive-up and interior-access units.
  • Profitable at fewer than 1 in 4 units occupied (25.2% breakeven).
  • All-equity structure eliminates construction debt and lender covenants entirely.
  • Proven expat-market model with strong per-unit rates at stabilization.
Key Risks & Mitigants

Eyes open.

  • Demand unvalidated — no direct Jacó comparables. Mitigated by conservative underwriting and a low breakeven threshold.
  • Permitting timelines — Costa Rican bureaucracy can be slow. Mitigated by an experienced local attorney, architect, and engineering team.
  • Lease-up pace — projections assume a measured absorption rate; the all-equity stack provides runway without debt service pressure.
