The brief

The reason to consider it.

Mixed-Use Development Parcel in Saliña di Vlijt
Located in Saliña di Vlijt, just south of Hato in Kralendijk , Bonaire, this 13,800 square meter (3.4 acre) plot of flat, undeveloped land is zoned “Gemengd” (mixed-use), one of the island’s most sought-after zoning classifications – perfect whether you’re looking to build a multi-unit residential or resort-style development. The land itself is flat and covered in native vegetation, on a base of weathered limestone.
Room to Build Under Flexible Zoning
The land’s “Gemengd – Uit te werken I” (Mixed – Subject to elaboration I) zoning allows up to 50% site coverage and buildings as tall as 9 meters (6 meters at the eaves), giving plenty of room for a multi-unit residential or resort-style development. Unlike Bonaire’s purely residential zones, it also permits both short and long-term rental, opening the door to an income-generating investment as well as a private home. As is standard for zoning that’s still subject to elaboration, a detailed development or subdivision plan needs to be submitted to and approved by the local government before a building permit can be issued. This is the same zoning that underpins some of Bonaire’s most established and consistently in-demand developments, including the nearby Bonaire Exclusief and Courtyard Village. Local government has committed to providing access to the parcel from a nearby through road, with further details still to be confirmed.
