Investing in Haiti’s Future

Cap Lamandou is one of SImACT’s signature projects in Haiti’s hospitality sector. Located along Jacmel’s scenic Caribbean coastline, the 32-room property represents a longstanding investment in tourism and regional economic development, and reflects our commitment to assets that generate both financial value and economic activity within local communities.

Under the leadership of Dr. Daniel Faustin, the tourism division has worked closely with the hotel’s management to strengthen operations and maintain business continuity despite the significant political, economic and security challenges affecting Haiti’s hospitality industry in recent years.

Market opportunity

Jacmel’s growing appeal as a domestic tourism destination creates demand for comfortable, upscale accommodation. The property’s location, established operations and existing base provide a platform for future growth — including a long-term objective to develop additional private seafront suites, subject to market conditions, feasibility and the availability of appropriate financing.

Investment position

Cap Lamandou forms part of the Company’s broader real estate and tourism portfolio. Continued ownership provides exposure to the long-term potential of Jacmel’s tourism market while preserving the underlying value of the real estate asset.

Development vision

Belle Rive is conceived as more than a residential and hotel development. It is intended to create a destination bringing together real estate, tourism, hospitality and local culture — combining contemporary international standards with the cultural identity of Jacmel, with Haitian art, craftsmanship and cuisine incorporated throughout the guest and residential experience.

Economic development potential

The project has the potential to generate employment, stimulate supporting businesses, attract visitors and investment, and expand the availability of high-quality residential and hospitality accommodation in the Jacmel market.

SImACT acquired 191 acres in Milot for a planned private, gated community of approximately 500 homes — designed as an integrated neighbourhood where residents can live, work, socialize and access essential services within a thoughtfully planned environment.

Planned amenities

• Recreational and sports facilities
• Community gardens and green spaces
• Grocery and convenience retail
• Farmers’ market
• Community gathering spaces

Making homeownership accessible

SImACT is exploring financing structures that could include subsidized financing and mortgage products designed to make homeownership more attainable for qualified buyers — with the objective of competitive, fixed rates and terms of up to ten years, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements and agreements with participating financial institutions.

Location & economic opportunity

Milot sits within a region seeing significant infrastructure, institutional, tourism and economic activity — close to Cap-Haïtien International Airport, Milot’s healthcare facilities, the Caracol Industrial Park, educational institutions and major attractions including the Citadelle Laferrière.

Haiti possesses significant agricultural potential, supported by its agroecological conditions, longstanding farming traditions and experience in food production. SImACT recognizes agriculture as a sector able to generate employment, strengthen local production, improve food security and create opportunities for sustainable economic growth.

Our interest extends beyond primary production to the broader agro-industrial value chain — food processing, value-added production, storage, distribution and related activities — connecting agricultural production with processing and markets.

Haiti possesses substantial, largely underdeveloped mineral resources, including known deposits of gold, copper and other minerals, offering opportunities for responsible exploration and development. SImACT has established a significant presence in the sector through its majority shareholding in Société Minière du Nord-Est S.A. (SOMINE).

SImACT views mining as an opportunity to support economic diversification, job creation, infrastructure development and increased investment in Haiti, while promoting responsible environmental and community practices.
