Apartments For Sale In Cape Verde

In line with the Cape Verde National Development Programme (see our market growth in Cape Verde section) aimed at increasing annual tourist numbers, the construction programme on the islands leans heavily towards maximum unit volume, meaning apartments are by far the most readily available type of accommodation on the market today.

In addition, high availability of land for sale in Cape Verde around coastal areas is allowing apartment blocks to be built virtually on the beach fronts, affording the kind of views, position and convenience which purchasers of investment property in Cape Verde expect. At this early stage of the property market, investors can take full advantage of excellent capital growth and rental opportunities.

Drawing a comparison with other more established property markets and their former years of development, you will see a stark contrast in the quality of the frontline beach construction: for example, the tourist boom in 1960s Spain led to the construction of basic apartment blocks of poor quality where the aim was to simply provide as much accommodation as possible, with few other criteria. In Cape Verde however, frontline construction is being undertaken at a time when tourists and property investors demand more than simply a roof over their head. The design of new dwellings must be both aesthetically pleasing and fall within strict parameters, as laid down by the local authorities, to prevent the coastlines from resembling concrete jungles in the future. Facilities such as bars, restaurants, gymnasiums, saunas, swimming pools and landscaped gardens are now commonplace within all new developments. In the future, this factor alone will help to boost the islands’ exclusive feel.

With many of the developers on the island being of European descent, the style, design and features on many new apartment developments have a distinctly European feel. There are many different unit types available which will appeal to those with various budgets and strategies. However, as in any property market, the units with the best views and position are always the most popular and are the first to sell upon project release.

Cape Verde - Penthouse Apartments

Cape Verde - Duplex Apartments

Cape Verde - Garden Apartments

Garden apartments are a favorite for those investors with young families, who look to make the most of their investment for private use.
