Surf City Investment Fund

Buy the coast before the road finishes.

Miles of undeveloped beachfront, a government spending a quarter of a billion dollars to reach it, and a family that has been building here for twenty years.

01The thesis

A market that was closed for thirty years opened four years ago.

El Salvador spent decades written off. Then the country became the safest in the region, the government put a road along every beach in La Libertad, and the people who left started coming home with money. Land on this coast is being repriced in real time — and almost none of it is listed.

We buy what never reaches a listing. Salvadoran property changes hands through relationships, and the tax and title pitfalls are real for anyone without people on the ground. Armin has been on this coast for over twenty years; the deals come to him first.

Sabas Beach Resort, Coco Beach Resort and Coco Blue Boutique Hotel at El Palmarcito are ours — built, renovated and operating. This is the fourth time we have done this on the same stretch of sand.

03What the state is spending

Public money is doing the hard part: access. We buy what sits either side of it.

06How investors take part

Income

Hotel and restaurant operations

Casa Roca and Casa Palmar are built to be held and run, not flipped. Investors share in operating income once each opens.

Growth

Land held through the repricing

Hillside plots and beachfront acquired ahead of the road programme and held. Our land at Casa Mar doubled in value between July 2023 and February 2024.
