My name is Gabi Mor, CEO of Gold Club Investments.

Gold Club Investments is a club for entrepreneurship in the highest realms of world mega real-estate in collaboration with the club's CEO, Gabi Mor...

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the Mega Projects category. In this category, very large international real-estate projects and enterprises are presented. The correct way to browse this site is first to read the category: Real-Estate Partnership Proposal which is the site's main category and only then should you move on to this category.

If you have already read my real-estate partnership proposal, then together we have arrived at stage two: the presentation of enterprises in the world's highest leagues that may be initiated by the partnership. If in fact, as per the Real-Estate Partnership Proposal category, we began by acquiring light real-estate at bargain prices following the world crisis, such as commercial buildings, shopping malls, houses, apartments, and plots, we can now progress to transactions in the range of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars and then of course we can continue on to the highest realms of international real-estate with deals in the billions of dollars range. With the strengthening of the markets, we can initiate these dazzling mega projects, which are the major high lights of the real-estate world.

Mega projects are those that are required in developing countries and in awakening markets. They are tailored specifically to suit the needs of a country or region.

Below you will find some examples of mega projects.

Enjoyable reading!

Business Park - High Tec

In this case, we are referring to a business park adjacent to the airport with High-Tec office buildings and a commercial center of hundreds of thousands of meters. We are talking of science industries and offices combined with business centers in all fields and hundreds of dunams (1 dunam = 1,000 sq. m) of High-Tec office structures and commercial companies, all in close proximity to the airport constituting short cuts and time saving - simply a winning concept.

For this concept, we build a business city, similar to the Silicone Valley in the USA and Airport City in Israel. We have the options of letting hundreds of thousands of meters of our own income-generating real-estate and selling buildings in the complex to earn funds and increase equity capital for the slow realization of assets by accepting the asking price. With the understanding of the concept and when heavy companies enter the business site, prices soar, and then we not only let, but we begin selling as well. Another option is building on land in the park with interested parties. Building enterprises and businesses affiliate with us to construct buildings on our land, and the buildings stay. It is a joint venture and a large number of companies become interested with the success of the project.

The Airport City project is targeted at the business community in need of a strategic location with limited time on their hands, and combines hotels with the comfort and services they require, such as: commercial centers, coffee shops, restaurants, entertainment centers and so on. Businesses attract tens of thousands of visitors to the park area.

Later on, we will achieve a vast business park with 95-100% hotel occupancy and the best tenants in commercial banking and High-Tec industries etc. who will have excellent, solid financial status and who will sign long term rental contracts.

The park, sitting in a winning location, will comprise vast plots of land adjacent to the airport and major cities. We can achieve a business empire with thousands of long- term tenants with regional revenues; we will sell commercial properties and we will be partners in the commercial properties. This concept is in very high demand in several places in the world. We will acquire more and more 'Silicone Valleys'. There are a number of elements that can greatly enhance the concept's development and when we take them into consideration, we will be in a prime position for the partnership to create multi-mega projects. Unbelievable income can be made from these mini business cities, which represent countries having first class business and tourist facilities and excellent developmental capabilities that gain in strength year after year.

Acquiring Buildings in Residential Areas

Refurbished neighborhoods are becoming a very popular world trend. In many cities throughout the world, there are old, neglected neighborhoods considered unattractive and undesirable, that can now be transformed. In these run down neighborhoods, the buildings and apartments may be renovated, the stores redesigned and upgraded, and then the heavy commercial chains will make their way to the area. Soho is a fine example of this concept.

In the above-mentioned neighborhoods, there are sometimes protected occupants who received fair compensation and evacuating residents can be slow. After that though, the buildings become 'fresh raw material for remodeling'; they may then be renovated, upgraded and relocated. New clients will arrive and property prices will be upgraded accordingly.

In time, the term zoning is given to those areas that have undergone upgrading and renovation and have been transformed into thriving, prosperous residential and business areas. It is possible to enjoy rich rewards from a project like this.

Quality Office Towers

This concept may be initiated in future when the recession is over. We can start building key points now, and by the time we are out of the recession, the project will be completed.

At key points in several cities around the world, there is a demand for top class office towers, so for this concept, the aim is to locate cities in the world where there is an immediate demand for building hundreds of thousands of meters of quality office towers. This would involve building a commercial center and office towers of international, five star hotel standard for tenants letting to High-Tec and commercial companies, banks, institutions, and international companies. Our client base will be high end with the financial power to pay for upgraded offices inside office buildings. Here too, there will also be the possibility of fitting in a retail floor. Even during the world crisis, there are specific areas where there is a demand for prestigious offices in leading world cities.

Purchasing Office Buildings and Hotels

This project would be suitable for a number of places in the world in the future, when the world recession is over. We are talking of renovating hotels and office buildings and turning them into luxury hotels also containing apartments; the hotels will contain hundreds of suites, sometimes a casino, shopping centers, and conference centers - every possible luxury. Today, these hotels are 'real-estate hits' in all world centers. A good example is the Hotel Plaza in New York upgraded by an Israeli entrepreneur where for example, apartments in the hotel were sold at record prices of $30 million. The majority of clients are foreign investors investing in major cities outside their own countries who are ready to pay top prices for prestigious apartments. The wealthy people of the world love to purchase super deluxe properties, especially in major cities.

We, the real-estate experts, locate supreme, up market properties built of the finest quality materials, possessing exquisite décor. Usually, it is possible to get prices that can be paid by the wealthiest people in the world and it is very likely that a considerable number of them have not changed their habits and despite the world crisis, they can still purchase the most luxurious properties in the world.

Building Complexes

This concept is also suitable for the future, for when the recession has passed.

The concept involves building a complex comprising thousands of housing units combined with commercial and shopping centers and 'country clubs' close to these communities. This project suits the up and coming middle classes, especially in Eastern Europe, Russia, and China etc. Upgrading for the wealthier middle classes is on the rise at an incredible rate in developing countries. With the right project, we have a foregone winner! Here, the name of the game is 'upgrading'.

Acquisition Groups

By this, we mean purchasing large plots of land adjacent to commercial areas. For example, we prepare a presentation of buildings for High-Tec groups prior to building, which would consist of eight high class residential towers surrounded by playgrounds, sports fields, and so on. These types of projects are closed and sold in advance to strategic markets before building is even begun, at discount prices for the group. This is just an example of acquisition groups in the High-Tec field, but there are other types of acquisition groups too. It is important to identify strong regional potential, target groups, and demands. For this concept, prices are 20% lower than market prices and the focus is on target group communities and selling at the presale stage.

Purchasing Plots for Investment

This project deals with the purchase of thousands of dunams of land (1 dunam = 1,000 sq. m) and its subsequent sale after one to two years, without any obligation to build on it. When the big day comes for designating the land, prices too will be very attractive. In areas where land is much sought after, there are today hundreds and thousands of dunams which in one to two years will double or triple in price. The trick is to purchase real-estate land when the real-estate cycle is eminent. We will be there waiting to reap the richest rewards.

Dream Towers

This initiative is also suitable for when the recession is over.

For this project, we are talking of super-prestigious 20-floor residential towers and excellent security for the more elderly population and the world's affluent (such as bankers and celebrities) who have the finances and are interested in leaving their private houses or villas and moving to the peripheries once their children have grown up and left the family nest. This population wishes to be as near as possible to major cities and within walking distance of facilities.

The above-mentioned real-estate is in world demand today for those wishing to invest in exclusive accommodation, holiday homes, and deluxe residences in major cities.

These projects too can be described as high end because the properties are of the most superior standard and are built using the finest craftsmanship in the world. They are exclusive, magnificent creations. Therefore, this project is called: 'My private villa in heaven'.

Building Prestigious Towers

Today, due to rising demand, prestigious towers are one of the hottest trends in real-estate. They are built in skyscrapers in city centers as well as in more tranquil areas and are often the choice of parents from the peripheries whose children have grown up and left home. These parents are tired of living in large villas in out of the way places and the resulting isolation and loneliness. They therefore have a need to form new social relationships and save on travel time while at the same time residing in prestigious accommodation.

Celebrities are among those interested in these kinds of towers. Such people prefer to pay more in order to live in a quiet apartment tower located in the city, having all the luxuries of a secluded neighborhood such as comprehensive security, a swimming pool, sports fields, a gym, and walking paths. We are talking of super modern residences within walking distance of the city center offering the possibility of socializing while at the same time living in a quiet, prestigious residence - quite simply, the best of both worlds.

Those possessing adequate funds may also be interested in these accommodations as holiday residences, for security in another country or just as an extra apartment.

These projects are sought after in major cities such as: Berlin, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Milan, Montreal, London, Chicago, and Moscow for example. Some of the older members of the population still feel young and energetic and in a large, empty villa, they feel bored which often leads to quarreling between couples (not everyone of course!), hence the need to start life over in a new setting for those who can afford it.

Logistic Centers

Despite the world recession, logistic centers are still required today. Throughout the world, there is a demand for storage warehouses for industrial raw materials, equipment, parts, and goods from all over the world since the distances from major cities cause product prices to skyrocket. Very large plots of land for building huge storage houses have today become a world trend in high demand.

Logistic storage houses close to city centers are today a prime source of real-estate because they cut down travel time from the factories to the commercial centers, therefore cutting costs, and the consumers can receive the goods more quickly.

For one project, we are talking of hundreds of storage houses. Gold Club Investments has already received several offers for suitable land in various countries; more information may be found on the World Projects page and you will be able to see the projects presented according to Gold Club enterprisers. Here it is not possible to mention all the enterprisers and some are not listed for reasons of confidentiality.

Purchasing Income Generating Real-Estate - Commercial Real-Estate

Today, in a number of major cities, there are bargains to be found by buying from individual owners and companies needing cash. These properties provide monthly yields from rentals.

The intention is to purchase tens of thousands of meters of real-estate. The renters would be huge companies, banks, security companies, airlines, credit companies, traders, huge restaurants, institutions, supermarkets and chain stores etc. who would be strong, stable renters signing long term contracts for 15-20 years and even 25 years or more. There are High-Tec and retail companies who need capital and liquid funds in order to progress with their projects, therefore, they would sell us their property and we would rent it back to them; this is called 'sale and lease back'.

Office and Commercial Buildings

Here, we are dealing with thousands of meters of income generating real-estate where we finance 40% of the costs. Financial leverage is preferable in this situation and equity capital should be above 30%. Each year, rental prices go up according to an agreement between the parties. Our profits are based on property values going up as well as monthly or annual returns with which we pay back the loan and still make a profit. Of course, these days, the banks and investment bodies are more careful when giving loans. Up until now, non-recourse loans and commercial properties have been available at bargain prices despite some cases of financial collapse. It is important to identify suitable property for development.

This project involves acquiring real-estate with the option of upgrading and taking advantage of unused building rights.

It is possible to take advantage of unused building rights to add tens and thousands of meters to existing commercial centers and shopping malls. In addition, the property may be renovated and upgraded.

In fact, what we would do would be to improve the property in such a way that it would bring in increased yields. We would make sure to always think ahead to ensure continued success. All the properties would undergo what we call 'due-diligence' which is checking the property is in order and we would check the rented property yields against the loan or mortgage payments. We would need to pay more than the equity capital, i.e the yields minus the interest should leave a 4% margin.

Building large and medium sized shopping malls would of course be appropriate for when the recession is over.

In a number of key cities around the world, even in the USA, Europe in particular, and in the East, it is sometimes difficult to access shopping centers. In a radius of several kilometers, there may no shopping malls at all to serve the large populations concentrated in the area.

There are two concepts here: the smaller one which is suitable for cities and large communities and is particularly profitable, and the bigger one which is suitable for cities hosting large numbers of tourists.

Shopping Malls and their Establishment

There is a chain of shopping malls called Bozzi. Bozzi malls are entertainment cities that are out of this world, constituting mega real-estate projects. Another example is the Mul shopping malls which were developed after Bozzi. Mul shopping malls are complete cities with a wealth of luxuries and attractions; they are huge and incorporate the most state-of-the-art shopping centers beneath office towers, combining a diversity of businesses, for example: a cosmetic surgeon's, clinics, offices, cinemas, restaurants and coffee shops. Not only that, there is also an abundant range of commercial businesses and supermarkets, banks, sports halls and gym clubs, spas, travel agents, babysitting services, limousine services, beauty centers, entertainment centers, and events halls.

This concept is right for areas having high levels of tourism in big cities, but is not suited to small and developing towns.

The uniqueness of the Bozzi malls is that they have many aspects and components including the most exclusive, state of the art architecture in the world that turn them into extraordinary world chains that are beyond imagination. This article simply cannot lend them justice. The Mall of America in Minnesota is another example.

Many malls in the world have unexploited building rights and it is possible to build business towers above them or to extend them by thousands of meters. Business towers and their subsequent office activity bring significant traffic to the shopping mall. We have the option of affiliating with local investors in major cities as strategic partners whether we are elevating the status of the mall, developing an existing one or extending one by hundreds of thousands of meters followed by extensive upgrading.

Regarding these shopping malls, our income will be derived from rental fees or a percentage of return on sales, whichever is higher. All chains will have long term rental agreements from sound tenants, i.e. world leading, powerful chains. Rental fees will change every year. This type of chain generates annual returns at the same rates as super-successful casinos and can be compared to 'a goose that lays golden eggs'.

Just for example, I would like to describe for you the latest crazes in the Israeli shopping malls: food markets, designer boulevards, bazaars, food stalls, restaurant stalls, children's shows and musical appearances for the adults, fashion shows, sports competitions (which are held on specific days), and halls for conferences and events. I alone can testify to the huge crowds present - simply amazing.

Residential and Office Buildings - Residential and Commercial Real-Estate

Today in major world cities, huge buildings can be purchased. The focus for us is on property owners such as those who are elderly or those who are no longer interested in retaining their properties for whatever reason who therefore wish to put them up for sale. Buildings can be bought, renovated, and upgraded into apartments for sale or rent as with office blocks mentioned above.

If we bought a prestigious tower for example in New York, we would call it a Trophy tower.

Today, in Manhattan, the cost of rent has reached an all time high as it has in London and many other places around the world. The apartments themselves are rented out, but some of them are offered for sale while they are being rented, then little by little, the target price is achieved with the best brokers. Manhattan is different from other markets in the world and of course in the USA, monthly returns are far higher than rent and inflate the value of the property. This phenomenon also occurs in London, Tokyo, Paris, Moscow, and Tel Aviv among others.

Purchasing plots of land adjacent to and in the vicinity of a major city and establishing hundreds of prestigious villas can turn a site into a brand name.

The initial villas are flagships and with the arrival of well-heeled residents, the project becomes a prestigious neighborhood with sales of hundreds of bungalows, villas, swimming paths, walking paths, a security company, and excellent facilities. Realtors call this naming, and when the correct name is applied to the project, it will receive publicity and prestige. These are super-deluxe neighborhoods such as you would find in Los Angeles, Miami, Paris, Berlin, and London with comprehensive security, golf courts, gyms, spas, commercial centers and a vibrant life-style. Neighborhoods in or very close to major cities are intended for an affluent population as opposed to the middle classes.

Ski Towns

This project involves purchasing land and building ski towns in snowy, mountainous regions consisting of prestigious wooden houses for skiing holidays - extremely popular with skiing enthusiasts wishing to buy a home high up in the mountains. The towns consist of hundreds of wooden homes exposed to breath-taking views and receive thousands of skiers from all over the world.

Commercial Centers

In well- populated communities, commercial centers are a hit. Mega stores are situated on a vast site and a car park is just a short hop away from the store. Gigantic trolleys are available for buying all sorts of consumer needs. We would call this concept a Home Center. An area also having fast food centers would go under the real-estate concept name of Power Center. The system of having a vast car-parking space on a huge site with immediate access to the stores is ideal for those who no longer favor the expensive shopping malls and prefer huge, discounted consumer shopping centers instead, what we call the Big concept.

Vacated Neighborhoods Slated for Rebuilding - Upgrading

An agreement on an outline is reached in places where there are old neighborhoods with hundreds and thousands of families living on land having anything from a good to a prestigious location. The plan includes demolishing the housing and receiving double or triple the building rights on the same land. Residents are vacated from their homes and move to good rented accommodation before returning to a dream neighborhood. This project constitutes the actualization of a new world of larger deluxe apartments complete with a new environment. The entrepreneur gains hundreds of additional apartments and sometimes, thousands.

Holiday Real-Estate

Purchasing strips of coastline has become a new trend in several places around the world. On purchasing the land and acquiring the building rights, the coastline can be developed into holiday villages, holiday real-estate looking overlooking the sea, restaurants, hundreds of two or three floored villas, hotels, attractions, clubs, a marina and spa. The clientele are people who love the sea and the beach and enjoy staying in holiday homes. For most of the year, the homes are rented out and the owners come once a year for a vacation. This is an international phenomenon with enormous selling power and today there is a wealth of examples of successful projects of this type.

Buying Villas, Renovating and Selling them

The hottest trend in small and medium sized real-estate deals is upgrading old villas in prestigious towns. It is important to choose the correct location and some of the best examples are: Malibu, some neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Sunset Boulevard - Hollywood, and high class areas of Paris, London, Milan, Rome, Tel-Aviv, and Moscow. Today, there are many old neighborhoods that have been upgraded to luxurious ones. Serious renovations and upgrading provide the opportunity to reap two or even three-fold rewards. Having a super broker who finds super clients will result in excellent returns for our investment.

Prices received for these projects are record-breaking. We are talking of clients who want to move into the neighborhood at any cost - even at prices beyond the actual worth of the property.

Purchasing Plots for Building on

This project involves purchasing plots on which to build residential apartments. Neighborhoods of thousands of units are in very high demand today in Eastern Europe, Central Europe, China, India, Israel, and in any developing country having up and coming middle classes with property buying power. There is a mighty wave of middle class people who want to improve their status and live in normal residential apartments with a developed environment.

The Magic of Real-Estate

Do not take for granted the concept of the magic of real-estate which enables one to raise hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. This concept is appropriate for several projects. In a winning location in any major city, we may buy vacant land of vast dimensions or an old site that is already built on with the option of demolishing then vacating. This could be in the center of London, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Milan, Berlin, Tel Aviv or Moscow and we would prepare a grand, attractive plan for the area we wish to develop. We could, for example, build an exceptionally large, super modern hotel with a casino (if possible), followed by a 30-floored, super deluxe residential tower on the built up area, then a commercial center with a shopping mall whose shops are luxurious and include top, international chains. This is a complex needing a central location in a prestigious area; it will become the most luxurious item in the city. Every city has its own specific demands - hotel, prestigious residential towers, and commercial centers etc. - a harmonious combination of several types of luxurious real-estate that will be a winner.

These projects attract investors with enormous sums of money. The project becomes well known and hundreds of interested factors come to invest with us as strategic partners; they range from private investors and institutions, investment companies, funds, investment houses, and banks right up to international icons looking to take part in a multi million dollar mega project. In this way, we transform an idea which has a basic platform and a quality, structured plan into reality with interested investors possessing billions of dollars. Of course, if we decide to affiliate with local partners, this will be a big advantage. Local partners in Israel together with a project established in Israel makes an excellent combination for a winning formula.

Today, in the developed world, there are thousands of real-estate deals for purchasing real-estate, plots, buildings, shopping malls, hotels, huge assets, and thousands of meters of income generating real-estate. These may be found among world brokers. The best deals are made with property owners who are interested in compromising and sellers who are simply no longer interested in their properties. There are sellers who do not know how to upgrade their properties, and those who are not mentally or physically capable. They do not have the motivation even though they have building rights for tens of thousands of meters which could be added to their properties and taken advantage of. There are also problems of family status hindering progress, division of acquisitions, and countless other issues preventing them from coming to a decision to make the most of their properties.

Not every property owner has the desire, knowledge or motivation to take their properties and transform them into magnificent, profitable pieces of real-estate. It is the same as with owners of simple apartments - one appears miserable and the other is on top of the world; it is simply a matter of individual character. We will be there to identify those potential projects. We will be able to locate these projects and real-estate deals and turn them into pots of gold! I have seen deals of this nature before and they are the best available. The sellers prefer to compromise on price and the most important thing is that the seller honors the agreement and his commitments.

Dear colleague, in addition, there is the option of establishing a fund unrelated to private activities - private equity for example for projects the size of a business park such as Airport City in Israel. The structure of the fund actually consists of contracts with a number of partners. When the fund is first established, there is no real content, except for our knowledge and reputation as managers of the fund (for example when a mega project such as a business park is in the pipeline) Then, we will meet the founders of the fund and we will choose an external fund manager and a lawyer with the aim of building an initial summary of what we shall invest in, where we will invest, and who will raise the capital.

Stage 1 - Recruiting investors and making legal documents. Meanwhile, we can already try to locate investment opportunities, some of which will include taking advantage of a bank loan.

Stage 2 - Signing contracts (first closing) with investors. The manager can begin investing their capital as committed. In the first year, we can recruit additional investors up to a defined limit and at the end of the year we will close the option of recruiting investors so as not to harm the investors we have.

At the same time, the second closing will take place. The fund will be closed so that investors cannot withdraw their money. It is important to note that during the first stages the investors' money is not necessarily deposited in the fund account. As the project reaches maturation, the fund manager will call for the release of the capital at the last moment. In the Reit Fund leverage rate does not rise above 70% of the value of the income generating property and the fund is committed to dividing 90% of the profits. This type of fund is another option the partnership can establish. Our company can operate privately with regard to managing additional enterprisers, regardless of establishing the fund.

Most Sincerely,

GABI MOR, CEO
