In the heart of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is consolidating its position as an epicenter for foreign investment, attracting visionaries from around the world. Among them, Spanish businessman Juan Andrés Romero Hernández, CEO and founder of CLERHP ESTRUCTURAS, is leading a project that redefines urbanization and quality of life in the eastern region of the country.
In a recent interview on the program “Agenda del Pueblo,” Romero Hernández shared his vision and the reasons behind his company’s ambitious venture. Claire Estructura, with a solid track record in the construction and real estate development sector in Europe and Latin America, has concentrated all of its investments on the Caribbean island, a testament to its confidence in its potential.
A Booming Market with Unbeatable Advantages
The decision to invest in the Dominican Republic is no coincidence. Romero Hernández highlights the country’s strategic location in the Caribbean and its unparalleled climate, key factors in attracting a growing market: that of American and Canadian retirees. With millions of people set to retire in the coming years, the country presents itself as an ideal option for those seeking a peaceful place to live out their retirement.
Furthermore, the businessman emphasizes that the investment climate in the Dominican Republic is one of the most favorable he has experienced, even surpassing other countries in the region. Although there are challenges such as cultural adaptation times and bureaucracy, the government and authorities have demonstrated a great willingness to facilitate foreign investment.
Unlike other markets, such as Spain, where the “squatter” phenomenon threatens private property, the Dominican Republic offers legal security that protects investment. According to Romero Hernández, private property is respected, a fundamental value for small and large investors seeking long-term returns on their capital.
Larimar City & Resort: More than a Resort, a City
Claire Estructura’s flagship project is Larimar City & Resort, a “small city” located in the eastern part of the city. This development is not simply a resort, but an urban solution designed to offer a high quality of life. With a relatively high density to optimize operating and maintenance costs, the project aims to be accessible to its residents.
Larimar City & Resort will feature a wide range of services, from supermarkets and pharmacies to schools and, in the future, a university. While the first phase will offer essential services, the proximity to the area’s main healthcare centers and businesses ensures that residents will have everything they need within reach. Furthermore, the project guarantees something fundamental: drinking water delivered directly to homes, an effort that sets a higher standard of quality.
The project is designed to attract a variety of residents, including young families and, primarily, those seeking a place to live permanently or for long periods of time. With a total investment exceeding $2 billion, Larimar City & Resort promises to be an engine of economic and social development in the region, creating employment opportunities and transferring technological knowledge.
Guarantee and Transparency in Investment
To build buyer confidence, CLERHP ESTRUCTURAS has implemented an insurance system that guarantees 100% of the investment in the event a client does not receive their home. This measure, along with the transparency of being a company listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange and having its financial statements publicly audited, provides unprecedented security for investors.
With homes ranging from $130,000 to $1 million, Larimar City & Resort seeks to open the market to a broader customer profile, offering luxury products at competitive prices.
Claire Estructura’s commitment to the Dominican Republic is complete, a reflection of the country’s potential. The Larimar City & Resort project is not just a real estate investment, but a commitment to the quality of life, security, and future of a country that is undoubtedly in fashion.
