He explained the developers are some individuals from a company called Rigen Developments, who have appointed Cornerstone Civil Works Australia to do the actual development.

“Cornerstone will appoint subcontractors and consultants so they will be responsible for making the development work.
“What we are doing at the moment is taking expressions of interest for this most prestigious, secured gated community.
“It will be a combination of residential and hotel development with amenities like tennis court and swimming pool.
“Our first open inspection last weekend, it was raining so we had a small number turn up and a lot of people calling and we got other appoints made.

First three lots
“We are selling only 15 lots of stage 1.
“So they don’t have to actually sign a purchase agreement they can sign an option where we will hold $5,000 deposit for them.
“Once we have got 15 lots signed that will put them in the queue awaiting all the proper sale and purchase documentation.
“If they don’t like what they read we give the $5000 back.”
He said they are selling the first three residential lots at $425,000 VIP.
“Once we have sold the first three residential lots we will start moving the price
“We expect to get those 15 probably committed over the next few weeks, once we got that we will be able to launch the project fully.

“People just want some real comfort that there is some demand which we believe there is and its an exciting opportunity.
“It’s freehold which is very important
“Its going to be built to Australian standards with 24 hours security.
“It is very conveniently located approximately 71/2 miles from the capital city Suva and two minutes from the bustling township of Lami.

“Shiloh Gardens is a secured resort style residential development that offers its members access to the Recreational Club facilities like gym, tennis court, swimming Pool, Park Areas and the exclusive use of the resort restaurant and Bar facilities for you and your guests when completed

Unique Lifestyle
“Your home is your haven and a retreat from your busy life, when you need it.
“Stretch out and take in some rays around the leisure pool or clear your mind doing laps in the pool or work up a sweat in the fully equipped gymnasium.
“If you are after something more competitive, you can grab a friend and enjoy a game or two of Tennis on your exclusive court.
“Our on-site management team will ensure that all the facilities and amenities needed for this resort lifestyle living is always in pristine condition.”

Shiloh Gardens offers its home owners and investors choice land only or a range of high class full turnkey home and land.

The Villas
Another project which Mr TooGood is involved in is The Villas project.

“The Villas being built on the exclusive island of Tokoriki Island, Fiji, beside the Sheraton Tokoriki Resort.
“The Villas are positioned on the hill overlooking the resort and ocean, within easy reach of the pristine beach by golf cart.
“These fully furnished, luxury villas are designed in true tropical Fiji style with high ceilings and open plan living, opening to the deck and private swimming pool. The views are extraordinary.
“Overall, interior space and decks total approximately 250 square metres.

“A second option is for a four bedroom villa which comprises a pair of two bedroom Villas sitting side by side and adjoined.
“You have the flexibility to occupy your luxury Villa at will, just when you like, or you can elect to have it in a managed rental pool and enjoy private use together with the opportunity to earn a worthwhile income.
“A “must see” two bedroom show Villa is available for an on-site inspection so you can experience first-hand just how beautiful the Villas, Tokoriki are.”
