4 Times Olympic Gold Medallist, Chris Hoy, Teams Up With Obelisk To Launch Its Laguna Beach Project
Chris Hoy, Great Britain's triple gold medal cyclist at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and gold medallist in the 2004 Athens Games, will be joining the team of investors at award-winning Obelisk as they launch their latest project, Laguna Beach in Brazil. Now ranked among the most successful Olympic athletes in history, Chris has decided that investing in Obelisk's luxury development is the most effective way to ensure his financial future.
Chris' athletic achievements are well known throughout the world - Commonwealth champion, world champion and now four times gold medal Olympic champion in numerous cycling disciplines. His hard work and dedication has translated into solid success, making the most of every opportunity presented.
Following his string of 2008 triumphs, Chris is broadening his horizons beyond cycling to include property investment. "I've had such tremendous success in cycling, but at 32 I must look to my future. That's why I am seeking good investment opportunities, wherever they might arise."
Chris turned to Obelisk for advice and after some solid research and guidance, he decided that Brazil was the best place to put his money. "It didn't take much for me to see the light. Brazil is one of the world's fastest growing emerging markets and its north east region is undergoing a massive boom in tourism. The investment potential is incredible."
Obelisk's Laguna Beach development is located in the coastal resort town of Tabatinga, near Natal, Brazil. A place of breathtaking beauty, Tabatinga is quickly becoming one of the most important investment hotspots in north eastern Brazil.
Laguna Beach was conceived with the Brazil's luxury property market in mind. Located only 30 minutes from Natal's international airport, the complex is comprised of 8 exclusive frontline beach bungalows with unrivalled views and private pools; 12 stunning deluxe villas, all with gardens, private pools and covered parking; 10 magnificent townhouses and 54 spacious apartments.
Every home has the best in luxury finishes, is constructed to the highest of specifications and ocean views are standard. Prices start at £40,000 rising up to £221,000 for an exclusive beach bungalow.
In creating Laguna Beach, Obelisk brought together some of the leading minds in the field of Brazilian property development. Natal born Laercio Bezerra de Araújo Filho is the Managing Director for Obelisk's subsidiary, Brazil Beach. Luciano Barros, a founding partner of the architectural firm, Abreu & Barros Arquetetura, will bring his wide-reaching experience to the design of Laguna Beach. Both professionals have earned international reputations for their high quality and innovative projects that have been built throughout the north east region of Brazil.
While Chris understands the brilliant investment value in his purchase, Laguna Beach also involves a lifestyle element. "My life consists of a gruelling daily training schedule. When you couple that with all the travel, the competition and my other engagements, I need somewhere special to go and relax. At Laguna Beach I will have found that place."
Obelisk earned a solid reputation of being a market leader in providing expert comment, opinion and reports on overseas investment property and they were recently named Business Britain's "International Property Specialist 2008". Obelisk's intensive selection process ensures that their clients are supplied with only the best, financially secure property investments throughout the world, like Laguna Beach.
