Panama Island Specialist - Tom Bakkum

Private Islands Inc. is pleased to announce our new partnership with Land Capital Group Inc., an innovative and renowned brokerage and development firm based in the Panama Republic. We’ve joined forces to offer our clients expert real estate brokerage and island development services in one of the world’s most stable and fastest growing economies.

Land Capital’s mission is to support sustainable and ecologically sound tourism development in the Panama Republic and greater Central American region. The roots of the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability lay in the Pearl Islands, where they pioneered the master plan for the largest ecologically-sensitive tourism project in the country. The 1500-hectare property was later acquired by a major European developer, and this project laid the framework for the company’s continuing dedication to working in harmony with the environment and local communities.

A former project manager for the United Nations and experienced in global sustainable development issues, Land Capital CEO Tom Bakkum says that: “Many regions, including islands, have an immense potential to generate wealth for impoverished communities while maintaining or even improving the ecological quality. The market for ecologically planned developments is better than ever, but how to initiate and roll out such a novel approach is complex. Land Capital is deeply committed to work with indigenous communities, governments, international organizations and commercial developers to attain these ambitious goals.”

Land Capital is certified by the United Nations’ Global Compact for Sustainable Business Practices.
