Why?A limited offer combined with a growing demand creates a positive impact on prices for real estate, especially in the tourist areas, where average property growth has been around 8 to 10 % per year. Why? Aruba is a small island, limited in area and hence has limited land for development. Historically, 85% of the land mass belongs to the Government, limiting development mostly on the remaining 15%, that is privately owned. Five years ago the zoning law has been introduced limiting the overall commercial development on the island. One of the Government’s important policy calls for sustained development where the economic growth must go hand in hand with the level of social development, the quality of infrastructure and in harmony with the environment.
