Opportunities for investment

a modern infrastructure and luxury lifestyle...

Personally

Few places offer such an abundance of investment opportunities as Gibraltar. An offshore centre adjoining one of Europe's most popular international playgrounds, where the Golden Miles of Marbella and Sotogrande provide an affluent boulevard to the gates of the Rock.

The Rock prides itself in providing stability and infrastructure combined with luxury lifestyle. Apart from an international airport with direct air services to Casablanca and the United Kingdom, there is every modern international Banking facility and one of the best VAT free shopping centres in Europe. Major international names do brisk business in jewellery, perfumes, fashion and soft goods.

Gibraltar boasts a number of prestigious residential developments such as Queensway Quay, Cormorant Wharf, Europort, Marina Bay and Portland House many of which come with their own private marinas and an attractive ceiling of personal taxation for qualifying individuals which in turn provides a useful global tax residency.

The three private marinas provide suitable berths, excellent maintenance and VAT free chandlery facilities for the largest of pleasure cruisers.

Commercially

The leading commercial centre in Gibraltar is Europort which spearheads a new business zone in Gibraltar, ten minutes from the centre of town with commanding views across the Straits to Tangier.

Europort is a very imposing commercial complex of magnificent modern design, and dominates the waterfront with gardens that lead down to the sea creating an idyllic working environment. It consists of 5 and 7 storey office buildings with approximately 30,000 square metres of commercial accommodation. These flank a 14 storey cornerstone building which has been prepared for an impressive 207 bedroom luxury hotel.

A strategic role

Much has been said of Gibraltar's strategic military position in distant history, but it has also played an important role in recent conflicts such as the Gulf War, the Yugoslavia peace Keeping Forces and the Falkland Islands conflict. Equipped with its own military air and naval base, the Rock acts as a convenient supply and auxiliary aid centre for operations both pertinent to the region and far beyond. Gibraltar's strategic role is replicated in the commercial world. Gibraltar has long prospered knowing how to exploit the many trading possibilities arising out of its unique and pivotal geographical location.
