The lowest entry point in the showcase
River Island starts at US$199,000 and sits in Bávaro, in the direction Punta Cana is expanding. It has studios and apartments, and some units are swim up — direct pool access from the terrace, which is the kind of detail that gets a unit rented above the area average.
It is the project I show to someone buying their first investment property who does not want to risk half a million dollars on the first try. A studio in Bávaro is a reasonable way into the market: if the operation works for you, you now know the whole process and buy the second one with your own judgment.
I tell you the same thing I tell everyone about studios: yield per square meter tends to be good, but resale is slower than on one- or two-bedroom units. If your plan is to rent for several years, it fits. If you are thinking of selling in two, let's talk first.
What to check in this case
In pre-construction, what weighs most is not the price but the schedule. I send you the full payment plan and the estimated delivery date, and I point out what the contract says if the project runs late — because that does happen.
