2023 Report: Sales, Fundraising, Construction
2023 Report: Sales, Fundraising, Construction
Fundraising
In 2023, we successfully raised $4,675,000 from 292 investors! This achievement is due to three crowdfunding campaigns (on Emiteo and Crowder.pro), the closing of a late seed round towards the end of the year and, in particular, the popularity of convertible loans. Remarkably, 90% of investors are opting for an extension or conversion into shares or real estate.
We are very pleased with the success of our crowdfunding initiatives, the significant increase in the number of investors and the unwavering trust of our existing backers!
Sales
On the sales front, 21 apartments and 5 villas have already been pre-sold, totalling an impressive $4.9 million. In addition, towards the end of the year, our innovative sales tool, the Asset Swap, led to the initiation of 7 transactions for the exchange of assets worth $5 million. This brings the total sales initiated for the Samana Group in 2023 to $9.9 million!
This achievement is a testament to the titanic efforts of our sales department, which conducted 529 online presentations of our offerings and 86 on-site presentations in Samana over the course of 12 months.
Construction
The highlight of 2023 was undoubtedly the groundbreaking ceremony at the Nomad City site! Our general contractor has already completed the necessary roads for the first phase of the Masterplan and we are clearing the area for the car park, Condo 1 complex and the first six villas. We are also focusing on the installation of electrical systems, fencing and cameras to facilitate the storage of building materials.

We have also had the honour of performing in Spain, Switzerland, Monaco, the UK, Sweden, Germany, France, New York and Miami.
We are proud of the awards we have received over the past year from experts in the fields of business, innovation and real estate. These include titles such as Foreign Investment of the Year and the Innovators Wprost statuette for the Smart City concept. Thank you very much!
