BUENA VISTA PARK VILLAS: UPDATE

BV Homes Ltd are the developers of Buena Vista Park and have decided to offer as many customisation options to purchasers as is practical when purchasing off-plan. The earlier purchasers get involved the more choices they have. Even once the structures of the properties are in place, purchasers can still choose their layouts and internal finishings. Purchasers are given generous budgets for the kitchens, bathrooms, flooring etc and can choose from a range of developer approved suppliers.

Project Manager, Alex Walker, is pivotal in the co-ordination of all stakeholders in particular overseeing the purchasers’ requirements acting as the liaison with the purchaser, architect and site team ensuring the formers requirements are translated into the final constructed product in compliance with all statutory authorities. After a property has been reserved but prior to exchange, the purchaser will sit down with the Architect (AKS Ltd) to discuss any changes they may want to the planned layouts. After which a timescale is given to the purchasers for them to decide on their internal finishings. As works progress on site Alex, with the support of the Architectural team, will undertake regular inspections during the construction period,usually with the purchaser, to ensure that what is built is both as was intended and to the satisfactory level expected of such a high end development. The Construction Manager, Paul Jarvis, has a small team of directly employed staff and a number of specialist contractors to manage. The ethos has always been to use local suppliers and contractors where possible and, to that end, there are a number of companies working on site, each undertaking areas of work that matches their expertise and experience. For example the foundations and steel frames are being erected by Proseal Construction, mechanical and electrical installation by Prodomestics with finishes being supplied locally by companies such as 101 Ltd and Porcelanosa.

The finishing touches to Phase 1 are almost complete with the communal pool and garden in use from August 2015.

PHASE 2

The Stone Block, formerly Buena Vista Barracks is to be restored in keeping with the heritage of the building. It is to be one house with extensive gardens, swimming pool and outhouses.

PHASE 3

Phase 3 includes three exclusive townhouses and up to 8 unique villas, with a wide range of customisation options for the internal layouts and finishes. The foundations are in place for the first four properties to be built and the structures are going up, with the first three properties due for completion end of 2016. Villas in Phase 3 start at around £3 million.

Buena Vista Park Villas is the first development from BV Homes Ltd and the success can be attributed to a number of factors, including:

  •  The demand for high end properties with gardens and pools in Gibraltar. 
  •  The options available to purchasers to customise their homes. 
  •  The credibility of the owners and management of BV Homes Ltd. 
  •  The integration and continued use of heritage structures. 
  •  The passion and commitment of the developer, architects and construction team.
  • PHASE 1 IS SOLD OUT

    The majority were bought by owner occupiers who have now moved in and are enjoying their new unique homes in a wonderful setting with outstanding views across the bay and straits of Gibraltar. There are a couple of resales available, so if someone is looking for a property in Buena Vista Park and they can’t wait for Phase 3 to be completed, there are a couple of options.

    PHASE 2

    The Stone Block (Buena Vista Barracks) is Reserved at the time of writing, hopefully to be Sold by time of publication. This will be a truly grand residence and is the centre piece of this luxury gated development.

    PHASE 3 CONSISTS OF THREE TOWN-HOUSES AND UP TO 8 LUXURY VILLAS.

    Four of the properties have already been sold off plan and there is confirmed interest in all the remaining properties. These properties offer purchasers a wide range of high quality customisable finishes and are south west facing with amazing views of the straits of Gibraltar and Africa.
