WORLD’S FIRST NON-PROFIT PRIVATE ISLAND LUXURY ECO-RESORT WINS COVETED CNBC ARABIA PROPERTY AWARD
Nestled on a stunning private island at the northernmost tip of the Palawan bio-sphere, Philippines, the Cacao Pearl is an affordable, paparazzi-free, chic and low-density designer boutique resort development that is beyond-eco, and further pledges 100% of its net profits to social and environmental programs. The Cacao Pearl residences are exclusive designs by film art director, Antonio Calvo (“Love Actually,” “Alexander”, “Pride & Prejudice”.) and the final phase of beachfront or rainforest residences are now available to discriminating investors with a conscience and a desire for investment-grade security with options to use, re-sell or rent through the five-star Cacao resort.
A high profile gala event at the Marina Mandarin hotel in Singapore on July 16th will see the award announcements. The event is part of the International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious competition dedicated to finding the best real estate professionals across the globe. The fact that Barefoot has won one of these coveted awards is proof that they are not only able to compete at this level but also triumph within the highly competitive Asia Pacific property arena. Later this year, top scoring winners within the highly competitive Asia Pacific Property Awards will compete against other winning companies from Europe, the UK, the Americas and Asia to find the ultimate “World’s Best” in each category.
Entries were judged by a panel of professionals whose collective knowledge of the property industry is second to none and unsurpassed by any other property awards. Chaired by Eric Pickles, chairman of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, this year’s judges included Ben Wood, industry head property markets of Google UK; Peter Bolton King, group chief executive of the National Federation of Property Professionals; Imtiaz Farookhi, chief executive of the National House Building Council; Christopher Hall, president elect of FIABCI; Wilhelm Harnish, Master Builders of Australia (MBA); Thijis Stoffer, International Consortium of Real Estate Agents Association (ICREA); Helen Shield, editor-in-chief of International Homes magazine, and Gillian Farr, head of design of Laura Ashley Home.
Matt Morrison, Principal Partner at Barefoot Investments LLC, developer of the Cacao Pearl said of the award: “The Cacao Pearl award is in recognition of our ability as ethical developers to meet the growing demands of investors and consumers for profits that result from genuine sustainable development and socially responsible practices. There is still much more for the industry to do in order to provide truly guilt-free vacation experiences; washing towels every other day doesn’t cut it.”
