MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
I set up Prestige Brokers to capitalise on our strong network of contacts with European financial institutions. In the past year, strategic deal making and negotiating allowed Prestige Brokers to successfully create what the market acknowledged as some of 2011’s most attractive investment proposals. We did not only give our clients the chance to develop diverse BMV international portfolios but also coupled that together with minimal cash input.
After a highly successful first year of business we have developed a powerful standing and reputation in the European property and finance sector. We are now constantly being approached with the latest projects and deals on the market. At Prestige Brokers however we refuse to take on anything less than the best, therefore, after extensive market research, visits to over 50 projects in 6 countries and 14 cities, I finally hand-picked the relatively unknown town of Alhama de Murcia in Spain, which I believe is today ‘The Best Property Market in Europe’.
The most successful investors are those with vision and instinct, able to look further than what is before their eyes. With projects in excess of 6 Billion Euro’s under way, including a new airport, a high speed rail link connecting the town to the rest of Spain and the 1.1 Billion Euro Paramount Theme Park, this small town is set to transform into one of Europe’s major tourism hubs. To confirm Murcia’s potential I held countless meetings with local authorities, developers, property agents/investors and senior level management at banks in the financial hub of Madrid, whom all confirmed my excitement was with good reason. To further cement my confidence not long into 2012 Murcia was named within ‘The World’s Best Real Estate Markets in 2012’ by the highly acclaimed International Living publication.
With full confidence I would like to give all of our investors my stamp of approval and I recommend to those of you which do possess the capacity todefinitely capitalise on this great opportunity.
Kind Regards,

SPAIN
13
Overview
Spain’s capitalist mixed economy is the twelfth largest in the world and the Eurozone’s fourth largest. It is regarded as the world’s 20th most developed country.
The centre-right government of former Prime Minister José María Aznar worked successfully to gain admission to the group of countries launching the euro in 1999. Unemploymentstoodat7.6%inOctober2006,aratethatcompared favorably to many other European countries, and especially with the early 1990s when it stood at over 20%.
The most recent economic growth benefited greatly from the global real estate boom, with construction represent-inganastonishing16%ofGDPand12%ofemploymentin its final year.
According to calculations by the German newspaper Die Welt in 2007, Spain was on course to overtake Germany in per capita income by 2011.
The 2008/2009 credit crunch and world recession mani-fested itself in Spain through a massive downturn in the property sector. Fortunately, Spain’s banks and financial services avoided the more severe problems of their coun-terparts in the USA and UK, due mainly to a stringently enforced conservative financial regulatory regime. The Spanish financial authorities had not forgotten the coun-try’s own banking crisis of 1979 and an earlier real-estate-precipitated banking crisis of 1993. Indeed, Spain’s largest bank, Banco Santander, participated in the UK govern-ment’s bail-out of part of the UK banking sector.

SPAIN
During the last four decades the Spanish tourism industry has grown to become the second biggest in the world, worthapproximately40billionEuros,about5%ofGDP,in2006. Today, the climate of Spain, historical and cultural monuments and its geographic position together with its facilities make tourism one of Spain’s main national indus-tries and a large source of stable employment and develop-ment.
Withgrowthof17.4%to185.799millioneurosinsales,theexport sector has recovered to pre-crisis levels, according to data released by the Ministry of Industry. With a contribution of1.1%toGrossDomesticProduct(GDP),theexportsectorhas brought stability to the Spanish economy. The improve-ment in exports including emerging countries, has allowed the trade deficit is not increased because of rising global en-ergy prices. The OECD puts Spain in fifth place in the ranking, withestimatedexportsofgoodsandservices9.9%.Spainisplaced after Germany and Slovakia, which will increase its salesabroadby10.4%.
15
Moving ForwardDespite doom and gloom in the media important points to be noted are that at the beginning of 2010, Spain’s public debt as a percentage of GDP was still less than those of Britain, France or Germany.
Research about quality of life by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s quality of life survey placed Spain as the country among the top 10 best quality of life in the world for 2005, ahead of other economically and technologically advanced countries like France, Germany, the United Kingdom and South Korea.
Before the current crisis, the Spanish economy was credited for having avoided the virtual zero growth rate of some of its largest partners in the EU. In fact, the country’s economy created more than half of all the new jobs in the European Union over the five years ending 2005.
The Spanish economy is still regarded as one of the most dy-namic within the EU, attracting significant amounts of foreign investment.
Murcia a city in south-eastern Spain, is the capital and most populous city of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, and the seventh largest city in the country, with a population of 689,591 in 2010. It is located on the Segura River, in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, noted by a mild climate with hot summers, tepid winters and scarce precipitation.
Murcia was founded by the emir of Cordoba Abd ar-Rahman II in 825 AD with the name and is now mainly a services city and a university town. Highlights for visitors include the Cathedral of Murcia and a number of baroque buildings, re-nowned local cuisine, Holy Week processions, works of art by the famous Murcia sculptor Francisco Salzillo, and the Fiestas de Primavera (Spring Festival).
The city, as the capital of the comarca Huerta de Murcia is called Europe’s orchard due to its long agricultural tradition and as a fruits, vegetables and flowers producer and exporter.
EconomyMurcia serves as a major producer of agricultural products; it is common to find Murcia’s tomatoes and lettuce, and espe-cially lemons and oranges, in European supermarkets. Mur-cia is a producer of wines, with about 100,000 acres devoted to grape vineyards. Most of the vineyards are located in Ric-ote and Jumilla. Jumilla is a plateau where the vineyards are surrounded by mountains.
Murcia is a centre for industry, with many British and Ameri-can companies choosing it as a location for satellite factories, such as Henry Milward & Sons, American firms like General Electric and Paramount Park Studios.
Recently, the economy of the region is turning towards “resi-dential tourism” in which people from northern European countries have a second home in the area.
The economy of Murcia is supported by fairs and congresses, museums, theatres, cinema, music, aquariums, bullfighting, restaurants, hotels, camping, sports, foreign students, and tourism.

Furthermore, there is a new 1 Billion Euro airport under de-velopment in Corvera which will be operational as of summer 2012. The new International airport of the Region de Murcia will be privately owned, and be directed mainly at low-cost airlines anticipated to cater to 6 million passengers per annum when fully operational.

ClimateMurcia has a hot semi-arid Mediterranean climate. Given its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, it is commonly referred to as a “semi-arid Mediterranean climate”, with mild winters and warm to hot summers.
It averages more than 300 days of sun per year. Occasionally, Murcia has heavy rains where the precipitation for the entire year will fall over the course of a few days.
During winter, the average daily temperature range is a high of 16 °C during the day and a low of 4 °C at night. In summer, the range goes from 34 °C during the day to 20 °C at night. Temperatures almost always reach or exceed 40 °C on at least one or two days per year. In fact, Murcia holds temperature re-cords close to the highest recorded in southern Europe since reliable meteorological records commenced in 1950.

For it’s part, the new Corvera International Airport is expected to become fully operational by quarter 1 2013, with the arrival of the AVE High Speed railway link being finalised in 2014. Finally, the Paramount Pictures theme park will be operational for the summer season of 2015.
The combination of these projects- together with numerous other, smaller projects – have left a great feeling of optimism within the tourism sector and the regional economy as a whole, which is count-ing on Murcia’s rapid growth.

Major projects in the area:
Murcia: The World’s Best Real Estate Markets in 2012’
The 0.75 Billion Corvera International airport, scheduled to open in quarter 1 of 2013, is located 2kms outside the town of Corvera in the Region of Murcia.
Recent investment in the region, notably the Paramount Theme Park Murcia Spa, which is located close by, and the Polaris World Golf resorts, have led to a significant improve-ments to the infrastructure leading to and from the airport. This includes additional motorways connecting the airport to the surrounding region and much anticipated connections to the national AVE high speed rail network.
The Airport is situated less than 10 minutes from the La Isla de Condado Resort and 15 minutes from the site of the Para-mount theme park. Original estimates were that the aiport would cater to 3 Million passengers per annum but with re-cent developments, regional authorities estimate that when fully operational, Corvera International Airport will cater for as many as 6 Million passengers every year.
Whilst there has been a Military airport at nearby San Javier for many years, there have been plans to build a commercial facility on the newly aqcuired site at Corvera for some time. It was only as recently as 2007 that the project to build Corvera International Airport was finally approved and planning and construction work was able to commence.
Unlike El Altet and San Javier airports, which are owned and operated by the Spanish Airports Authority - AENA - Corvera International airport will be owned and operated by the Re-gion of Murcia, and as such will effectively be in competition with other airports.The Corvera Murcia International will serve all the airlines of-fering flights to the new Paramount Resort from its inception in 2015.

The 0.75 Billion Corvera Interna-tional airport, scheduled to open in quarter 1 of 2013, is located 2kms outside the town of Corvera in the Region of Murcia.
Corvera International Airport
Connecting the capital, Madrid, with several of Spain’s largest cities, the five lines are named according to their terminus cities. The first line to open was the Madrid–Se-ville high-speed rail line, followed by the Madrid–Vallado-lid high-speed rail line, the Córdoba–Málaga high-speed rail line, the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, and the Madrid–Valencia high-speed rail line. The network is to be greatly expanded during the next decade with most of the Spanish peninsula being connected.
Renfe have recently commenced works to connect Murcia to the AVE line. With plans confirmed and moving swiftly forward for the Paramount Theme Park in Alhama de Mur-cia an additional link has been added to the new Corvera International Airport.
Alta Velocidad Espa-ñola (AVE) is a service of high-speed rail in Spain operated by Renfe, the Spanish na-tional railway company, at speeds of up to 310 km/h. It currently consists of five dedicated passenger train main lines. The total length of the network currently stands at 2,665 km, making it the longest in Europe, and the second in the world after China.

Construction has also been streamlined for the Murcia link at a cost of
2.5 Billion Euros and services will begin
in 2014 ahead of the launch of the Paramount Theme Park in 2015.

Location“Paramount chose the Region of Murcia for this project because of the exceptional qualities that make it a popular tourist destination. The support from the re-gional and local governments as well as PREMURSA is remarkable and we look forward to creating a world-class destina-tion,” Michael Bartok Executive Vice Presi-dent - Paramount.
Alhama de Murcia has been chosen for the development of the first Paramount Themed Park in Europe because of its outstanding and unique geographic, historic and cli-matic characteristics. The region is ideal for many reasons, including its 300 sunny days per year, its beaches less than 30 minutes away, its amazing natural and cultural herit-age, and its outstanding transportation infrastructure. Two airports, the new Corvera International Airport and San Javier Airport will provide easy access by air and there is also an excellent road network between Madrid and the Mediterranean area. A new High Speed Train line is ex-pected to open in 2014 connecting Murcia with the main Spanish capitals. Locally, Alhama de Murcia is perfectly positioned between the main cities of the Region (Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca), at a distance of less than 50 km by highway.
