Moritz Arp’s entry into the Costa Rican real estate market was driven by a fundamental observation: there was a significant gap between European quality standards and local development practices. After relocating to the Caribbean coast in 2014, Moritz navigated the complexities of the local business culture firsthand. It was through managing his own initial construction projects, and overcoming the systemic challenges of a largely unregulated market, that the blueprint for ARP Real Estate & Development was formed.

A Commitment to Integrity and Transparency

In an industry often marred by lack of oversight, Moritz has built his reputation on the “Client First” philosophy. His approach is rooted in the belief that investors deserve the same level of security and contractual certainty they would expect in Europe or the United States.

Having personally successfully mitigated the risks of unreliable brokerage and problematic construction practices, Moritz transitioned to a model of total oversight. Today, he personally vets every partner and supplier, ensuring that materials are calculated with precision and that every phase of development is transparent.

The Vision: Sustainable Progress

Moritz views real estate through a lens of sustainable development. He advocates for a shift away from ruthless, profit-only land development toward projects that respect both the worker and the wilderness.

For Moritz, “Pura Vida” isn’t just a marketing slogan, it’s a commitment to protecting the Caribbean’s unique ecological beauty while providing investors with robust, high-standard assets.
