Westcoast Investment Opportunity
Immediate Action Required!
Senior Debt Opportunity
- Executive Summary |
Victoria, BC - September 12, 2007- Seville Properties Limited has agreed to purchase the assets of the hugely
successful Bear Mountain Real Estate Development project, a few minutes
north of Victoria, the Capital of British Columbia. This is a unique
opportunity to take over the most successful real estate project in
Canada.
This 1400 acre parcel straddles two municipalities:
Langford and Highland. Bear Mountain is a 4 year old planned community
approved for 5800 residential units of which 1800 have already been
built and occupied. Another 1000 units are awaiting approval. The
impressive Village Center is already anchored by the Westin Hotel Resort
and Spa, the Jack Nicklaus 18-hole Bear Mountain Signature Course and
Country Club, restaurants, amenities and is populated with appealing
Condos. Strategically developed Estate Home neighborhoods, Town Homes
and Condo hubs grace both sides of Bear Mountain Parkway. Infrastructure
to support full build out is on-going throughout the site. The second
Nicklaus course is on schedule for 2008. Seville properties plans to
continue the development of Bear Mountain as originally planned. |

Bear Mountain - The Next Whistler |
Deemed the next Whistler, at Bear Mountain. the future is now, as the
construction of Mr. Nicklaus’ second 18-hole Valley Course and Golf
Academy are already underway and residential sales are breaking
records. For example, on November 13, 2006, in just two hours, 183
condo units of the Stonehaven Building were sold for a total of $103
million. Many sold via the Internet, sight unseen. Purchasers included
many from as far away as Egypt, Scotland and Ireland, as well as many
repeat purchasers such as Dean and Jacqui Mein from Sherwood Park,
Alberta, who came in to purchase their 2nd Bear Mountain
property in two years. "On the investment side of Bear Mountain, you've
got a big, big draw with Jack Nicklaus' name," said Dean Mein, a
commercial contractor, "just for the rental side of it, plus vacation
properties and for the properties in the next phases." |
After the
take over, 4000 already approved mixed residential units will remain to
be built and sold, with an additional 1000 units pending. Seville
Properties plans to continue with the already successful Bear Mountain
development program. Suitable zoning has already been approved by both
counties. Current permits have been issued by Highland for 184 lots
around the Nicklaus Valley golf course. Similar lots have been
averaging $750,000 each. |

Real Estate Sales Sizzle - VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD
August 1, 2007
Sales of homes and other properties in the
Greater Victoria area continued to show exceptional strength last month
reaching the highest level for the month of July in over 15 years.
There were 922 sales through the Victoria Real Estate Board's Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) in July, up over 36 per cent from the 677 sales in
the same month 1 years ago. There were 949 sales in June of this
year. Meantime, 27 sales of over $1 million helped push the
average price of single family homes sold in July to another record high
of $574,753; the median price was considerably lower at $515,000; the
six-month average was $560,393.
Victoria Real Estate Board President, Bev
McIvor, says the continued strength of the market is remarkable.
"Despite the significant increases in prices that we have seen in recent
years, the total number of sales shows that demand remains very strong.
The number of sales so far this year is running over 11 per cent higher
than in the first seven months of last year while the six-month average
price for single family homes has risen over seven per cent since the
beginning of the year. |

Highlander Gross Revenue: $134,798,400 |

Finlayson: Gross Revenue: $ 97,346,765 |

Stonehaven (SOLD OUT) |

Soaring Peaks Gross Revenue: $90,005,000 |

Sales Velocity
Properties at Bear Mountain have a history of selling fast, with most
condo projects selling out prior to the buildings' completion. The
Stonehaven unit sold 183 of its available units in just 2 hours and the
Finlayson Reach unit is already 75% sold out, even though the
building is only 50% completed. This sales velocity combined with on
time and under budget construction allows Bear Mountain to rapidly
recapture its investment. |
