A Ritz-Carlton and Two Jack Nicklaus Golf Courses Will Anchor Resort Developer
Ernesto Coppel's $1.5 billion Resort Community on the Southern Tip
of the Baja Peninsula - Quivira Los Cabos
.

LOS CABOS, Mexico, April 17, 2008 - Quivira Los Cabos, (pronounced key-vee-ra) an ambitious $1.5 billion investment development project, is a luxury residential resort community launching in Spring 2008. Located on the southern-most tip of the Baja Peninsula in Los Cabos, Mexico, Quivira spans 1,850-acres of secluded property complete with rolling foothills and three miles of sweeping beaches. Named after one of the seven legendary lost cities of gold sought by explorers in the 16th and 17th century, Quivira once inspired endless expeditions in search of legendary hidden treasures. Today, the name Quivira is synonymous with luxury, privacy, world-class amenities and exclusivity.

Ernesto Coppel, renowned resort developer known for his role in turning Cabo into a world-class resort destination, envisioned Quivira as a close-knit community where guest and residents could mingle in seclusion while indulging in all the benefits of a first-class resort. That commitment to excellence and respect for privacy encouraged other luxury brands to follow suit. The Ritz-Carlton, Jack Nicklaus and Pueblo Bonito will all be a part of the Quivira family. The Ritz-Carlton will bring an ocean-side resort and five-star caliber residences; Jack Nicklaus will design two Signature Design Golf Courses; and Quivira is already home to the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa, a top-rated, multi-award-winning destination spa.

"My dream has always been to create the premier residential resort community in Los Cabos," said Coppel, who also developed the award-winning Pueblo Bonito family of resorts. "It has been my life's work to provide the very finest experiences, services and amenities. Quivira is quite simply the pinnacle of my efforts."

The Ritz-Carlton Los Cabos, Quivira and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton Los Cabos, Quivira bear the gold standard of hospitality and will serve as the first luxury-branded address in Cabo. The two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses are expected to rank among the best in North America and will feature more oceanfront holes than any other development on the Baja Peninsula. Quivira already boasts The Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa, a top-rated, multi-award-winning destination spa, as recognized by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines.

Ownership opportunities will include estates and villas, condominiums and home sites featuring interior gardens, tile fountains in quiet courtyards, and spacious terraces adorned with fragrant flowers -- all hallmarks of Mexican-style hacienda living.

"Quivira offers an unmatched location in Los Cabos with unparalleled services and amenities," said Coppel. "The community sets the stage for families and friends to reconnect and make magical memories while enjoying all the comforts Quivira has to offer."
