Who We Are

KAVOD is a real estate development firm operating in Guanacaste, Costa Rica's most dynamic growth corridor. We were founded by three partners whose combined expertise covers every critical dimension of successful development: deep local legal authority, international vision rooted in genuine community belonging, and hands-on construction experience built in one of the world's most demanding markets.

We develop residential and commercial projects in Carrillo: Playas del Coco,  Sardinal and San Blas — communities we know not as a market, but as home.

Our Costa Rican partner is a licensed real estate attorney, notary public, and tax law specialist, born and raised in Guanacaste. He currently serves as Community Leader.

That combination is rare and it is deliberate. He has spent over ten years structuring transactions for foreign investors from the United States and Canada, navigating Costa Rican property law, municipal regulations, and tax implications with a precision that only comes from deep, sustained practice in one territory.

When you invest through KAVOD, the person who signs your documents is the same person who helped shape the regulatory environment around them. That is not a selling point. That is a structural advantage that protects your investment at every stage.

Our Italian partner was born and raised in Milano Marítima, on the Adriatic coast of Emilia Romagna — a region that has defined European standards of quality, design, and culinary culture for centuries.

He has lived in Playas del Coco for twenty-five years.

That matters because vision without roots is speculation. He arrived in Guanacaste when few international investors were paying attention, recognized what this region would become, and stayed long enough to be proven right. He brings the aesthetic sensibility and quality standards of one of Europe's most sophisticated coastal cultures, grounded in a quarter century of genuine belonging to this community.

At KAVOD, luxury is not a marketing layer. It is a standard set by someone who grew up surrounded by it and chose to plant it here.

Our American partner emigrated from Uzbekistan to Israel, to New York City  and built a licensed general contracting firm that operated in one of the world's most demanding construction environments.

New York does not forgive errors in budget, timeline, or quality. Every project he delivered there was held to codes and expectations that most developers in this region have never encountered. That discipline is now applied directly to every KAVOD development.

He does not oversee construction from a distance. He understands it from the ground up — materials, sequencing, cost control, and delivery. When KAVOD commits to a specification and a timeline, a builder with proven New York experience is accountable for meeting it.

What Sets Us Apart

Most development firms in this region offer access to land and a promise. KAVOD offers something more difficult to find and impossible to manufacture quickly: legal command of the local territory, an international standard of design and quality with genuine community roots, and construction expertise tested in one of the world's most rigorous markets.

Three partners. Three areas of mastery. One firm where all of it sits at the same table.

We are not a fund. We are not a brand created to sell real estate. We are three people whose names and reputations are attached to every square meter we develop in Guanacaste.

Kavod Portfolio

Cataleya Park

The project consists of three premium commercial units, two residential apartments, and an exclusive penthouse occupying the entire third floor.

Strategically located in the heart of downtown Playas del Coco, one of Guanacaste’s most established and dynamic coastal destinations, the development benefits from exceptional walkability, strong commercial exposure, and immediate access to the area's restaurants, retail, future marina services, and tourism infrastructure.

The development is currently in the final phase of the permitting and entitlement process, with all key regulatory approvals progressing toward completion. Upon issuance of the construction permit by the local municipality, the project will formally enter its pre-sales stage, unlocking an opportunity for early investors to participate at a pivotal value-creation milestone prior to the commencement of construction.

This advanced stage of project readiness significantly reduces development risk while positioning investors to benefit from the appreciation typically associated with the transition from permitting to construction and pre-sales execution.

Cataleya Plaza

Cataleya Plaza represents the second phase of the master-planned development and is envisioned as a premier commercial destination in the heart of Playas del Coco. The project will feature four to six retail spaces, thoughtfully designed to accommodate a curated mix of businesses and brands that complement the area's continued growth and evolving consumer demand.

A defining feature of the development is its rooftop terrace concept, planned to include a premium bar and restaurant alongside a pickleball court, creating a unique lifestyle destination currently unmatched in the local market. By combining retail, dining, entertainment, and wellness amenities, Cataleya Plaza is positioned to become a landmark destination and a catalyst for the next generation of commercial development in the area.

The architectural, engineering, and master planning designs have been fully completed, and the project is preparing to enter the permitting and entitlement phase for the issuance of construction approvals, positioning it for future execution and commercialization.

Neighborhood View Showing Both Projects

Together, these two developments, positioned side by side, are poised to become the crown jewel of downtown Playas del Coco.

The projects are envisioned to redefine the destination’s commercial and residential landscape, introducing a sophisticated mixed-use concept that seamlessly integrates curated retail offerings with only three exclusive residential residences. This intentionally limited residential component enhances exclusivity, privacy, and long-term value, creating a distinctive asset within one of Guanacaste’s most established coastal markets.

By combining premium commercial experiences, lifestyle-driven amenities, and a highly selective residential offering, the development is set to elevate the standard of real estate in Playas del Coco and establish a new benchmark for luxury, placemaking, and destination-oriented investment in the region.

Loma del Buey Condominium

This exclusive country condominium is located in San Blas, within the Sardinal District of Carrillo, Guanacaste, one of the region’s most promising residential and investment destinations. Strategically positioned just minutes from Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR), premier healthcare facilities, and world-renowned luxury resorts, the project offers an exceptional combination of accessibility, lifestyle, and long-term growth potential.

Designed to provide a refined country-living experience while maintaining close proximity to Guanacaste’s premier coastal attractions and services, the development consists of only six estate-sized homesites, ranging from approximately 1,580 m² to 2,493 m². This limited inventory creates a highly exclusive residential environment while preserving the privacy, space, and natural surroundings increasingly sought after by today’s discerning buyers and investors.

The master planning designs have been fully completed, and the project is currently advancing through the permitting and regulatory approval phase. Upon obtaining the required construction permits, the development will be positioned to move into execution and commercialization, representing an attractive opportunity to participate in an asset with significant upside potential within one of Costa Rica’s most dynamic real estate markets.

912 Flats - Sardinal

912 Flats is a boutique residential apartment development comprising six thoughtfully designed units, strategically located just 2 kilometers from downtown Sardinal, approximately 10 minutes from Playas del Coco, 25 minutes from Guanacaste International Airport (LIR), and only 2 minutes from a premier golf course.

Its highly accessible location provides residents with convenient access to schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, retail services, convenience stores, supermarkets, and the Pacific coastline, making it an attractive option for both long-term residents and the growing workforce supporting Guanacaste’s expanding tourism and service sectors.

The development consists of six two-bedroom, one-bathroom residences, each designed to maximize functionality, comfort, and value. Every unit includes a dedicated parking space and a private storage unit. Two residences feature a single private balcony, while four residences offer dual balconies, enhancing natural light, ventilation, and outdoor living opportunities. Residents will also enjoy access to a shared swimming pool, creating an attractive amenity that complements the project's residential lifestyle appeal.

Positioned as an attainable residential offering, 912 has been conceived to deliver exceptional value without compromising the design standards, construction quality, and attention to detail that define the Kavod brand. The project reflects a commitment to creating well-designed living spaces that combine functionality, accessibility, and long-term market appeal within one of Costa Rica’s fastest-growing residential corridors.

Construction is currently approximately 70% complete, substantially reducing development risk and providing a clear path toward project delivery. Sales are expected to commence in August 2026, offering investors and purchasers the opportunity to participate in a near-completion asset with limited inventory and strong market potential.

A Region That Speaks for Itself

Carrillo is not an emerging market. It is an arrived one.

Ultra-luxury brands do not enter markets on speculation. They enter when the fundamentals — land value, infrastructure, natural beauty, legal stability, and demographic demand — are already proven beyond doubt. Guanacaste has attracted exactly that level of global validation, and the evidence is on the ground, not on a prospectus.

Discovery Land Company — the world's most exclusive developer of private residential club communities — chose Sardinal de Carrillo for Zapotal Golf & Beach Club, an ultra-private coastal community spanning miles of untouched Pacific coastline, anchored by an 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course and limited to 330 residences. It sits minutes from where KAVOD builds.

Waldorf Astoria, one of the most recognized names in luxury hospitality on the planet, made its first-ever entry into Costa Rica at Punta Cacique — opening its doors on the same coastline, bringing with it the brand standard that has defined elegant hospitality for over a century.

Mohari Hospitality, a global luxury real estate investment firm, developed Nekajui at Peninsula Papagayo — the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in all of Central and South America — anchored by a Four Seasons resort across a 2,200-acre masterplan in Guanacaste.

These are not brands that follow trends. They commission decades of research before they commit. They all looked at the Pacific coast of Guanacaste and reached the same conclusion.

KAVOD operates in this same territory — with the legal authority, construction capability, and local roots that global brands cannot bring, but that every successful project here requires.
