Larimar Showcases International Real Estate Investment Leadership at SIMA
Larimar City & Resort, the large-scale smart city project being developed in the Dominican Republic by Spanish company CLERHP, has successfully completed its participation at SIMA 2026 in Madrid, strengthening its profile as one of the emerging international real estate developments attracting strong investor interest.
The project received significant attention throughout the exhibition from real estate professionals, institutional investors, property sales networks, and prospective buyers seeking international investment opportunities that combine long-term profitability, legal certainty, and strategic urban development. According to company representatives, Larimar’s presence at the event reinforced growing confidence in international real estate assets that offer both lifestyle value and financial growth potential.
Held annually in Madrid, SIMA is widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading real estate exhibitions, bringing together developers, investors, financial institutions, and industry professionals from around the world. For Larimar City & Resort, the event served as a major platform to showcase its long-term vision and development strategy while expanding its international network of business partners and investors.
Located in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Larimar City & Resort is being designed as a modern smart city that integrates residential, commercial, tourism, and recreational infrastructure into a single master-planned environment. The development aims to position itself as a destination for both international investors and residents seeking a technologically advanced, sustainable, and strategically located urban community in one of the Caribbean’s fastest-growing tourism and investment regions.
Throughout the multi-day event, the Larimar exhibition stand attracted a steady flow of visitors interested in learning more about the project’s scale, investment model, and long-term development plans. Company executives noted that many attendees were particularly interested in the project’s focus on urban planning, appreciation potential, and security-backed investment structure.
One of the standout features of Larimar’s participation at SIMA was its immersive virtual reality experience, which allowed visitors to explore the future city digitally. Using advanced VR technology, attendees were virtually transported to Punta Cana, where they could experience panoramic views of the development, navigate through key urban areas, and visualize planned amenities and infrastructure.
The interactive presentation generated strong engagement among both professional attendees and general visitors, helping the company communicate the scale and ambition of the project in a more impactful and experiential way. The use of technology also aligned closely with Larimar’s positioning as a next-generation smart city development focused on innovation and modern urban living.
According to company representatives, the event agenda included a wide range of commercial and institutional meetings that reflected the increasing international demand for real estate assets supported by established corporate structures and long-term growth strategies.
Executives from Larimar and CLERHP met with investors, financial partners, sales agencies, collaborators, and industry stakeholders throughout the exhibition to discuss expansion opportunities, partnership models, and future phases of development.
Alberto Muñoz, Commercial Director of Larimar City & Resort, highlighted the broader market dynamics influencing investor behavior.
“There is a growing demand for real estate products capable of offering profitability, security, and a long-term vision,” Muñoz stated during the event.
He emphasized that international buyers are increasingly seeking projects that combine strong urban planning with financial reliability and long-term value creation, especially in regions experiencing sustained tourism growth and infrastructure development.
José Joaquín Alonso, Director of External Sales, also spoke about the strategic advantages of the Dominican Republic as an international investment destination. According to Alonso, the country continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most attractive markets for tourism, real estate, and foreign direct investment.
He noted that Larimar benefits from the backing of CLERHP, a publicly listed company, which adds another layer of credibility and transparency for international investors evaluating large-scale development opportunities.
The company’s participation at SIMA concluded with a featured presentation by Juan Andrés Romero, President of CLERHP and CEO of Larimar City & Resort, held at the SIMA auditorium. During his presentation, Romero discussed current trends in international real estate investment and outlined how projects like Larimar are responding to changing investor expectations.
He explained that today’s investors are increasingly prioritizing developments capable of delivering both lifestyle benefits and long-term asset appreciation. According to Romero, smart city concepts, sustainable urban planning, and integrated infrastructure are becoming key differentiators within the global real estate market.
Romero also shared insights into Larimar’s broader development model, highlighting its phased growth strategy, master-planned design, and emphasis on creating a fully integrated urban ecosystem capable of supporting residential living, tourism, business activity, and recreation.
Beyond its public presentations and exhibition activities, the company also used the event to strengthen relationships with existing stakeholders and explore new strategic partnerships. During SIMA, Larimar executives held a series of private meetings with shareholders, investors, collaborators, and international suppliers aimed at expanding the project’s operational and commercial network.
According to the company, several new strategic agreements and collaborations are currently under development and are expected to be announced progressively in the coming months. These partnerships are anticipated to support future growth phases of the project and further strengthen Larimar’s international positioning.
The project’s visibility at SIMA also generated substantial media interest. Company representatives reported receiving more than a dozen interview requests from media outlets covering real estate, international investment, tourism, and infrastructure development.
This level of attention reflects the increasing global interest surrounding large-scale smart city projects and the growing appeal of the Dominican Republic as an international real estate destination.
Industry analysts have noted that international investors are increasingly diversifying geographically in search of stable, growth-oriented real estate opportunities outside traditional markets. Caribbean destinations with expanding tourism industries, favorable investment conditions, and strong infrastructure pipelines are becoming increasingly attractive to both institutional and private investors.
Larimar City & Resort appears to be positioning itself directly within this evolving market landscape by combining large-scale urban planning with technology integration, international investment accessibility, and long-term development potential.
As the project continues to advance, CLERHP aims to further strengthen Larimar’s presence in international markets while expanding its network of strategic partners and investors.
The successful participation at SIMA 2026 represents another important milestone for Larimar City & Resort as it works to establish itself as one of the Caribbean’s most ambitious and internationally recognized smart city developments.
