Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going in Nicaragua
About Grupo Mariana
One of our commitments at Grupo Mariana has been to maintain an open line of communications, and this commitment remains strong. Of course, it’s admittedly easy to get caught up in the multitude of daily activities that we face in pushing forward with our projects. But not keeping in touch with you is not something we will allow to happen.
Grupo Mariana is moving forward and the future looks bright. We are on target to meet (and exceed) the expectations of those who invested with us. We mean business. Your interest in and support of our Grupo Mariana’s oceanfront communities is something that we deeply appreciate and value.
Our mission is personal. Our lives and our dreams are in Nicaragua. We are established here. Our family has experience living in Nicaragua for eight years. Our residing goal is create unforgettable resorts that put Nicaragua on the map as a world-class destination. We are focused on laying a solid foundation for the exciting developments that are to come.
As you certainly know, we found ourselves facing unexpected issues that slowed progress. However, we’re confident that we can now move forward with vigor. All the resorts and properties under the Grupo Mariana umbrella are moving forward. One of the realizations that came from the economic issues of recent years is the recognition of just how connected we all are, that “global” is indeed a term that encompasses the world’s economies and all of its citizens. We all are part of one interconnected, interdependent community.
Nicaragua continues to gain recognition for its emerging economy, political stability and attractiveness to visitors, with tourism increasing over 300 percent over the last decade. International investment also continues to rise. These factors have enhanced the country’s status among investors and travelers.
Kevin Fleming is Chairman of Grupo Mariana and is originally from Vancouver, Canada and, while living there, in 2003 he met Maria, a native of Nicaragua, who became his wife. When she brought him to Nicaragua, he also fell in love with the country and its people and saw there could be tremendous opportunity here for someone with vision and a sense of adventure. This is a place with many special attributes and a very bright future.
Grupo Mariana is becoming the face of the New Nicaragua, supporting the country’s emergence as an international economic force and one of the world’s exciting destinations. Nicaragua is a country that has begun to gain economic momentum that is fueling a real estate boom that appears capable of rivaling the meteoric rises in value seen in Costa Rica decades ago. Multinational investment is growing steadily, and tourism has risen over 300% in the last 20 years as visitors and investors rediscover Nicaragua.
Nicaragua is the ideal spot that maximizes the value of the dollar and investment potential. For investors, an emerging market offers a brief window of opportunity to realize exceptionally high returns. Many investors took advantage of the opportunity in Costa Rica 20 years ago but that opportune time has passed. Now Nicaragua’s time has come.
Corporate Citizens
Grupo Mariana is adamant that their communities will have a positive impact on the country and its people. One of Nicaragua’s greatest assets is its people, who are warm and welcoming, and intensely passionate about their country. We are committed to making certain that Grupo Mariana and our other projects fully support the local communities and their citizens.
We have exciting plans introducing Nicaragua to people in Canada and the United States and the interest and enthusiasm is truly amazing. Upon our past eight years of experience, however, we realized that that no photographs or materials can truly do justice to the natural beauty and passion of Nicaragua and its people.
Creating Communities in Nicaragua
We have always been committed to keeping you informed of developments both inside and outside Grupo Mariana, and are confident you will find this information enlightening and exciting. The mark of a truly exceptional company is one that moves forward not just in the best of times but during all times. Grupo Mariana is just that company. Irrespective of adversity or external circumstance, Grupo Mariana has forged ahead. Steadfast leadership and unwavering vision has taken the company to the next level.
The cornerstone of Grupo Mariana’s vision is investing in Nicaragua’s rich natural assets as a means to give back to the community. Grupo Mariana’s core mission is to utilize, promote, sustain and strengthen the natural environment in order to enhance the lives of the people of Nicaragua. Grupo Mariana recognizes that it is in a unique position and is using that position to give back to the country that has embraced them.
An Evolution of a Vision
Many of you have watched the vision and mission of Grupo Mariana evolve. What began as a labor of love and belief in the unsurpassed opportunities offered by Nicaragua has led to the creation of a multifaceted organization. The cornerstone of Grupo Mariana’s vision remains investing in Nicaragua’s rich natural assets to provide investment opportunities, while also having a positive and meaningful impact on local communities.
This vision has shifted our core business activities to incorporate social reinvestment as a fundamental component of our mission. All businesses and initiatives under the Grupo Mariana umbrella will originate from and give back to the country of Nicaragua as a core element. While Grupo Mariana’s focus in the past primarily was the development of property for sale, the focus has since evolved to encompass the creation of communities in the largest sense of the word.
By this we mean that Grupo Mariana will continue its individual development activities, such as at Seaside Mariana Oceanfront Community and Isla Mariana Beachfront Retreat, but with the grander objective of incorporating the building of the community into the economy and life of the surrounding areas and their citizens. We will become a part of the overall community rather than a freestanding presence separated from the world around us.
As an investor, this approach continues to offer you the means to build personal wealth and embrace a unique lifestyle, while also supporting the growth and health of Nicaragua and its people. We are confident that you will find it personally fulfilling as you see the benefits materialize.
This makes you a key part of Grupo Mariana’s overriding objective to create a sustainable model of economic and social development for the communities on Nicaragua’ s Pacific Coast through reinvestment in infrastructure, support for local businesses and the creation of job opportunities. We also remain steadfast in the task of sustaining and strengthening the country’s wonderful natural environment.
We’ll be happy to tell you more and help you find your place in the sun.
We truly appreciate your interest in Grupo Mariana, and invite you to contact us directly at any time for more information or to answer any questions you might have.
