A Gated Community for Island Living
Realizing the need for a gated community in Haiti that provides maximum security and
comfort has not been met, and understanding that this has created a deficiency in
potential home buyers, whether in the diaspora or in Haiti, we thereby, propose to
build a new style of Haitian gated community, one that will set the standard. This
community will be known as Eucalyptus Village, and will consist of 32 two, three and
four bedrooms single and multi-‐family residences.
Eucalyptus Village is a new living experience that provides amenities such as a
conference and business center, swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts and
more. It is a place where families can feel safe and secure and where business people
can enjoy work, rest and play. The homes of Eucalyptus Village are custom designed for our clients needs with many
optional amenities such as air conditioning, upgraded kitchens and baths. The
construction is energy efficient and built to US standards.
Electricity, water and sewage are all provided by the Eucalyptus Village Association.
The grounds are meticulously groomed by the association staff and 24/7 security is
provided by trained security personnel.
Eucalyptus Village is truly a community! Come experience Eucalyptus living!

What’s in a Name
The name Eucalyptus Village came to mind for the simple reason that nearly fifty years
ago the land on which this community is located had been a virtual forest of gigantic
Eucalyptus trees planted by the Double Harvest company during the 1950s and later in
the 1970s. The eucalyptus was the plant of choice because of its many uses.
As a tropical plant the Eucalyptus has a natural smell, kills mosquitoes and other
harmful insects. Their leaves are used as medicine to ward off tropical diseases, colds,
sore throats, fevers, etc. In the area today there are well over a hundred Eucalyptus
trees, a reminder of how things once were before the destruction of these trees in 1991
and 1995.
To live at Eucalyptus Village will be to live in a tropical resort where nightly life may
once again begin in all quietness and with everything one will need, all the while
breathing in the crisp fresh air of the Eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus Village is located 10 minutes from the Tousaaint L’Ouverture International
Airport in Port-‐au-‐Prince and 20 minutes from the National Palace and the historic
monuments of Champ-‐de-‐Mars. The area boasts of plenty of shopping centers, gas
stations and one of Haiti’s largest supermarkets, Delimart, is one minute away.
Located on the northwest corner of Commune Tabarre in Cazeau, the village is near 15
Octobre Blvd on the corner of National Route 1. Area beaches are an easy day trip so
after spending a refreshing time at Baie de Port-‐au-‐Prince you can easily return to a
refreshing time at Eucalyptus Village.
Haiti is quickly becoming business friendly and Eucalyptus Village offers a living style for
the new Haiti. Aiyit ak Eucalyptus Village pare pou biznis!

Investment Potential
The housing market is on the rise in Haiti. No doubt Haiti is experiencing a housing bubble
due in part to the tremendous need in the country. For that reason, the investment
potential in Eucalyptus Village is very promising. The new homes combined with the
amenities of the village offer a community environment that will attract the Haitian
diaspora desiring to return to Haiti.
Not only will Eucalyptus Village target the diaspora, but there is also a growing market for
higher end homes that the village will fulfill. One prominent construction company in Port
au Prince built 50 homes last year for a cost of construction between $91,000-‐$180,000 per
home. This year their target is 90 homes for a cost of construction between $119,000-‐
$250,000. Eucalyptus Village is strategically positioned to capture a portion of this market.
When you invest in Eucalyptus Village you are investing in the future of Haiti.

Home by Home Program
There are still 350,000 people displaced from the January 2010 earthquake. Many of
them still live in tents around Port-‐au-‐Prince. Country wide, housing is an issue. For
example, since the earthquake, Cap Haitien has grown by more than 200,000 people
creating an unprecedented need for housing in the north. The current housing solution
does not help Haiti move forward. Living in 28 square meter housing like these to the
right does not promote a rise in quality of life.
When you build a home at Eucalyptus Village, we will help build another home for a
needy family somewhere in Haiti. We are committed to giving back to Haiti and helping
those in need. We believe we have a responsibility to those who are the least of these.
So, we are committing to help provide a home for those who are in need. One of our
first projects is with Haitian Partners for Christian Development in Port au Prince. Land
has been purchased to construct 12 homes for families and provide them with a
mortgage that corresponds with their means.
Our spacious 44 square meter model (above) with two bedrooms and indoor bathroom
will help move people from poverty to prosperity. Building in a duplex model helps
promote community as well.
