The $120 million Genesis Puntarenas, as it will be known, is Costa Rica`s first all-glass multifamily residential building. It will also be home to the world`s largest penthouse, a sprawling 68,459-square-foot, 10-bedroom masterpiece with three stories of living space, a private helipad, swimming pool and tennis court. The penthouse and the building`s 47 other living units are defined by their floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls and expansive private all-glass terraces, which will allow homeowners to incorporate the country`s lush landscape into their living space. The development of this luxurious and distinctively modern building is timed to coincide with a surge of development activity in Costa Rica.

The Caspi Icon – MASTER PENTHOUSE
With 10 bedrooms and 68,459 square feet of space, the Caspi Icon is the world's largest penthouse and one of the most spectacular residences ever designed. This palatial living space encompasses the top three floors of the Caspi Puntarenas and offers magnificent, 360-degree views of the Costa Rican landscape below. With the world's finest-available interior finishes and amenities such as a private rooftop helipad, infinity swimming pool, putting green, tennis court and formal dining room with seating for 58, the Caspi Icon redefines luxury. Genesis Puntarenas is expected to be completed by mid 2010 and will be strategically located in the Pacific Coast city of Puntarenas, about a half-hour drive from the capital city of San Jose via the region`s new six-lane toll road.

Units are priced from $473,000 to $3.3 million and will showcase top-of-the line treatments including marble floors, quartz countertops and brand-name stainless steel appliances. Among other premium amenities, the property will offer residents a bi-level fitness center, an infinity pool with a swim-up bar, as well as an on-site restaurant, lounge, wine cellar, cigar parlor and business center. The development of Genesis Puntarenas has been carefully timed to coincide with a perfect storm of external factors that has positioned Costa Rica — and Puntarenas in particular — as the next destination of choice for jet setters the world over. In fact, a June 2009 report from the World Bank detailed how foreign investors have begun to increase activities in Costa Rica.

Their motivations include:
• Significant transportation infrastructure upgrades that make traveling to and from Costa Rica and Puntarenas easy and convenient.
• Billions of dollars in additional international investment in Greater Puntarenas by companies such as Hilton and Hyatt.
• The recent addition to Puntarenas of such amenities as a championship-quality 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course, a quaint beachfront boardwalk and a renovated inland Marina.
• Unparalleled biodiversity (pristine beaches, picturesque mountain ranges, lush rain forests, etc.) at a time when "eco-travel" is surging in popularity.
• Surroundings safe from crime and political unrest at a time when other travel destinations are decreasing in popularity because of such concerns.
• A national economy that has largely weathered the 2008-09 recession because of a strong GDP, good fiscal policy and an increase in retail sales.
