Build economics look fair for the villa we'd put on this lot.
~10% gross on all-in is roughly our 10% benchmark — fair value, not a discount. Pick the right footprint and finish tier below.
Estimated yield is in the header above.
Our pick · 5BR premium · ~10% gross · $923k all-in · Pool · Air conditioning · Patio / balcony

Land ~$259/m² — premium finish floor at this land basis.
Premium build · ~375 m² villa (75 m²/bd) · residential lot → 75% max coverage → buildable up to ~218 m² (about 2 BR at this tier/floors). ⚠ This 5BR footprint (375 m²) exceeds the 218 m² allowed — add a floor or shrink.
All-in cost to build
≈ $2,460/m² all-in (incl. land).
Edit assumptions (plug in real contractor quotes)
Feasibility scenario — not a contractor quote
- •Construction uses our in-house team's ~$1,600/m² premium rate (shell + finishes; pool/landscaping & permits are added separately). Typical local quotes run $1,200–2,400/m². Final cost still depends on the confirmed scope.
- •Assumes a ~14-month build with no rental income during construction; excludes land-carry, financing and price escalation.
- •Parts of the Tamarindo strip are ZMT — confirm titled vs. concession.
- •The 375 m² footprint exceeds the ~218 m² buildable area (75% coverage on a residential lot) — add a floor, shrink the villa, or split the parcel.
- •Few or scattered nearby comps behind the revenue estimate — lower confidence.
- •Water availability (ASADA letter) and utilities can make or break a build — verify before you buy the lot.
Story
Is it for you?
Patient capital building equity — design-build or JV, not move-in cashflow.
Move on if you need rental income on day one.
Good to know
- Few or scattered nearby rentals behind this build scenario — lower confidence.
- Recipe gaps vs local winners: Gym / fitness.
- Build scenarios use market-level revenue anchors — re-run at the lot pin on the report.
Check before you offer
- Confirm registered fee-simple title (folio real), free of liens.
- Confirm a legal water supply (AyA or ASADA letter / carta de agua) — no water letter, no deal.
- If anything is already built on the lot, confirm permisos de construcción cover it — unpermitted work can block closing.
- Verify buildable footprint, coverage rules, access, and ZMT status with the municipality.
- Get real contractor quotes before trusting any yield-on-cost figure.
