The First Floating City in the World Opens in the Caribbean Sea With Various Prices
According to Daily Mail UK, the floating city in the Caribbean Sea is called the Blue Estate island.
It is a man-made super island that will permanently be attached to the many constructed concrete modules placed in the Caribbean Sea.
The location will be roughly the size of a certain half of a location, as many real estate experts say about it. To be exact, the size of the man-made island would be 4,921 feet by 3,280 feet, wherein that size is half of Monaco.
For the prices of the available real estate properties on the man-made island, prices range from £14,000 (equivalent to around $25,000) for small real estate properties to £1.1 billion (equivalent to around $1,5 billion).
The cheap real estate property, named Ring Level, is a studio apartment type property. While the biggest mega-mansions are named Signature Estate respectively.
Do take note that even though the sale for this kind of real estate has recently opened, construction on it will only start in 2022, and is expected to be completed in 2025.
This means that the majority of the real estate properties that will be built on the island are pre-selling as of the moment. However, there are some units that will be handed to its soon-to-be owners in 2023.
The developers who are also named Blue Estate are expecting that 15,000 people will become permanent residents of the said man-made island. And they are expecting that number to even grow more as time passes by.
They have stated that to access the island, residents and visitors alike would be one trip away via both Miami and Bahamanian Islands once completed.
