Monticello was carefully designed and exceeds Costa Rica's building and seismic codes. An outstanding team of professionals ensured the maximum standards of security and comfort were met in all phases of design and construction. Only the finest materials were used in its construction.

On Tuesday, September 12, 2003, we experienced a 5.0 magnitude earthquake centered 10 miles from Monticello. Absolutely NO cracks nor damage were found anywhere in the property. This is a testament to the quality of the design and construction at Monticello.

Construction began in March 2002, and is scheduled for final completion in October 2003. The architect, engineers, general contractor and sub-contractors are all experienced professionals. They were continuously supervised by discriminating and highly skilled professionals to ensure no "corners" were cut at any stage of construction. The Neoclassical Mediterranean architecture was designed by a graduate of Oxford University's School of Art.

Massive foundations, footers and walls were built to ensure the strength and integrity of each unit. Each condo is separated by a double wall to provide maximum sound insulation and privacy. We're confident you will be impressed with the extremely high standards and quality of the design and construction of Monticello.

Each condo has over 3,010 square feet of construction. Elegant French and Venetian windows, charming fireplaces, exquisite wrought iron work, plenty of electrical connections in each room, cable TV and telephone access lines are standard. Each unit has about 1,000 square feet of private patios/terraces, with spectacular, unobstructed views of 2 volcanoes and the central Valley!

Only the finest quality aggregate, materials and equipment were used in Monticello's construction.
