The ZEDE territory in Roatán is positioned as the real estate investment destination with the greatest potential in Central America
Próspera Honduras Inc has built on the island of Roatán a regulatory environment designed from its foundations to facilitate real estate development Three pillars differentiate the enclave from any other investment destination in the region.
| No mandatory permits Developers have the freedom to design and execute projects without the usual bureaucratic hurdles, reducing start-up time and costs. |
| Zero property and capital gains taxes The ZEDE tax regime eliminates two of the main recurring costs for the real estate investor, maximizing the net return on investment. |
| Top-level regulatory flexibility Operators can choose to work under common law or other recognized normative systems, with dispute resolution through top-tier international providers such as the Prospera Arbitration Centre (PAC). |

Demand exceeding supply: clear market signals
Occupancy and reservation indicators for active projects in Próspera reflect an acceleration in demand that exceeds current supply capacity. The most visible example is Torre Duna, whose occupancy went from 30% to 80% in a matter of months. The Veranda Villas Meanwhile, they are registering a high rate of reservations as new residents and businesses establish themselves in the enclave.
| 80% Current occupancy at Torre Duna (vs. 30% a few months ago) | High Booking rate at Las Verandas Villas |
This dynamic, along with the lack of sufficient supply in the affordable housing segment, makes Próspera a market with open opportunities for both high-end developers and promoters focused on the social segment.
Roatán in figures: tourism growth and increased value
The island's macroeconomic context reinforces the investment thesis. Roatán is home to the world's second largest coral reef, a natural asset that acts as a permanent driver of tourism and residential demand. Air and maritime traffic data confirm a trajectory of sustained growth.
| +183% Increase in cruise passengers in recent years | +175% Increase in passengers on flights to Roatán |
These tourist flows translate directly into demand for lodging, services, and commercial space, solidifying Prospera as a hub of attraction within a rapidly expanding Caribbean destination. Projections of property value appreciation, based on the historical performance of areas with comparable legal freedoms, point to a average annual growth of between 12% and 15%.
| 12–15% Estimated average annual appreciation in areas with similar legal freedoms, placing early investors in the most advantageous position. |

Two development areas: Pristine Bay and Beta District
Próspera focuses its real estate activity in two distinct areas within Roatán, each with its own product profile and opportunity:
- Pristine Bay (360 acres) — Oceanfront area with premium properties, luxury villas, 18-hole golf course and high-end residential developments such as Maralba Condos and Villas Verandas.
- Beta District (58 acres) — An innovative urban hub housing Dune Tower, the Bitcoin Center, the Infinita Dome, and commercial and coworking spaces, designed for entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and technology companies.
