In recent years, tourism has become the leading sector for foreign direct investments in Grenada. Another service sector on the rise is the offshore financial industry, which – together with strong performances in construction and manufacturing, have also contributed to growth in national output.

As part of their strategy to attracting foreign direct investment, the Grenadian Government is working closely together with a select number of businesses related to tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing. Through the implementation of the Citizenship-by-Investment Program, they also hope to create investment opportunities that will bring about sustainable employment.

With its economy shifting from agricultural-dominant to service-dominant, one of the most viable options for foreign nationals is the investment in a pre-approved real estate project.

The investment must be minimum US$ 250,000 and must be owned and maintained for a minimum period of 4 years.

MOUNT CINNAMON

The development is situated on a lush hillside on almost two miles of the white-sand Grand Anse Beach, which is recognized by some as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The resort-hotel, looking towards the historic capital St. George’s, sets the tone for an irresistibly elegant yet intimate, relaxed beach hideaway.

The opportunity to own shares of Mount Cinnamon is an invitation to become a citizen of Grenada, begin a long and fruitful relationship with the island and its culture, and contribute to its future.

Property registration, processing fees and taxes must be paid in addition to the property purchase.

aPPLIcaTIon feeS

Advisory fees associated with the program are US$ 30,000 for a single applicant, US$ 35,000 for a family of two (main applicant + spouse) and US$ 2,500 for each additional dependent. Fees are based on the number of dependents, country of origin, residence and other retained services. The advisory fees are non-refundable and are payable in two equal installments.
