KINO BAY RESORTS project will be designed on five main regions:

•  The ”Extremo de la Bahía Marin”, (Desarollos Marin SA, Mexico's Shrimp SA, Impusora Kino SA, and Promontora Tiburon SA)

•  “La Región de Comercial MECH”

•  “La Región de la Península de Kino” (Immobiliaria y Franccionadora Promotora “70” SA)

•  “La Región de La Península del Punto de las Ballenas” (an option), and

•  “La Región de la Agricultura del Aqua” , (2,500 hectares to the north of the main project property).



The Kino Bay Project, estimated to cost over $20 Billion is expected to complete in 7 years.

The resorts will be designed as the World's Show Case for Green Power generation. The sun shining all year around at its brightest will play a major role in converting solar energy to electrical power and desalination of sea water.

 

A new 47 floor tower system is projected on the tip of the peninsula, overseeing the largest marina and the ocean liner terminal for cruise ships on each side. The Marin Pacifica Tower, a master of aerodynamics and green energy technology, would use the high winds to increase velocity into a double air/steam turbine at the top, while at the same time it will convert the sea into fresh drinkable water serving the community and adding to the existing water supplies from the east properties owned by the partners.

 

The twin towers projected on the Península de Kino are aerodynamically designed so the wind at an elevation of 250 meters above ground will increase velocity into a wind tower turning the air/steam turbines so to covert the wind into electrical energy.

The seawater desalination facility is to be designed as a secondary tower constructed of glass (each panel built as a Fresnel optical lens able to focus the sun beneath the shallow seawater reservoir heating the salts and inducing massive steam of fresh water (even at night) emanating and raising to the top of the building aided by the “greenhouse effect”. The steam will rise to the top without pumps at approximately 310 meters. More energy will be added to the top, also from the sun inside of a crystal ball constructed of optical lenses in order to compress and create more power into the turbines. The steam will convert to fresh water when cooled by the cold air exhaust of the turbines acting against the force from the wind tunnel between the towers created by design. The fresh water will provide the building with water throughout with high pressure going down by gravity as well as dumping excess of unused water in a manmade waterfall coming down by gravity free between the two towers, some 260 meters high. Some of the energy is transferred to pumps and generators for a green cycle. The excess of fresh desalinized water will be distributed around the project with over 200 MW of electrical power believed to be extractable in the towers. The tallest man-made waterfall is in Jurong Plaza, Singapore, measuring 30 meters. The Pacifica Marin Plaza in Kino man-made waterfall will be the tallest yet in the world.

The Pacifica Tower crystal ball will also incorporate a diode array that will light up the sky, also serving as a lighthouse, bright enough to be viewed across the Sea of Cortez and into the Baja California peninsu la, serving as the navigation point for all yachts in the Sea of Cortez coming into Kino Bay.

After completion, the towers should stand approximately 350 meters (1,162 feet) tall and should have approximately 47 floors.

KBP also intends to engineer a long bridge above the Kino Bay to unite La Península de Kino with La Región de La Península del Punto de las Ballenas. The bridge will provide the arid area across the bay with water and electricity and all modern cable communication.

 

The “Resort” properties will accommodate schools (K-12) for those families with children wishing to reside in the community, and for the local employees with children. Additionally, luxury apartments/condominiums and single family homes, (of which 250 luxury sea-front villas) will be constructed.

In order to provide the mega project with supplies deliveries without inviting pollution from the many trucks travelling to Kino with goods, KBP intends to construct a high speed train system leaving the Hermosillo's International Airport parallel with existing highway to Kino. The flat land between Hermosillo and Kino (~100 Km), passing the many walnut trees, orange orchards and the vineyards should reach Kino Resorts within 40 minutes and allow for one stop in the middle where the Partners plan to build over 20,000 low income homes for families expected to commute by train to work in the resort and commercial areas in Kino.


 

Designed to extend into the Sea of Cortez protecting the Bay, the 400 plus boats marina will be the center of the peninsula. The marina extension will help the accumulation of sand from the north and the formation of a nice beach which will serve the marina community. The Marina's main theme (Pirates' Cove – “Ensenada de los Piratas”) will also be protected from imaginary intruders by medieval fortress walls, which will encumber at the tip a lighthouse. Within the old walls there will be a bazaar (open market) where fisherman from Old Kino will sell their catch of the day (also shrimp provided by the aqua farms in the north), as well as other Mexican artisans and the Seri Indians may sell their master pieces.

Art galleries will also feature artists from Mexico and from all over the world.

The Marina will also support a glass house as the secondary light house or the “La Poca Casa Ligera” a typical Sea Fish Family Restaurant and bar.


Built on two levels (inspired by Disney World), the marina old walls/Viejas Paredes Del Castillo will include a small boutique hotel emulating a 17th century castle.

 

This five star 300 rooms hotel will be integrated in style and architecture within the medieval walls of the marina. On a raised hill, formed from dirt removed from dredging the harbor, the fortified wall of the Cape, will serve as a large fish market and bazaar. A tall ship will guard the harbor to keep in tune with the Theme Park “The Lost City of Paradise” (La Ciudad Perdida del Paraíso) concept. While looking like the 17th century, the Hotel will have its unique design and surprises. A lot of narrow streets and piazza's will keep the place cool and shady. The large balconies will have view of both the Bay and the open sea. “La Ciudad Perdida Del Paraíso” is the vision of the new Theme Park to be built at Kino Bay (on 300 hectares – on the land provided by des Extremo de la Bahía Marin), a Maya Civilization modern representation where visitors of all ages can enjoy the worm hospitality of the people of Mexico. Over 3,000,000 tourists per year ($60 Billion per year projected micro economy market) are expected to visit the resorts of which the majorities are anticipated to connect from the Hermosillo International Airport by rail. In excess of 5,400,000 passengers (over $10 Billion gross transportation revenues per year) and over 7,000,000 tons of food and supplies may be carried by rail each year. The Project has enough water coming from the family subterranean aqua farms, however additional desalination facilities will be created through renewable energy so commercial and industrial water become available to the nearby farms and ranches expected to provide the needed vegetables, fruit and meet to be consumed by the many visitors expected in Kino and to the surrounding locals working in the area.

Supported by the rail line and the new highway to Hermosillo, the Partners plan to develop the Commercial property into 200 hectares of a multi use facility complex. KBP projects the employment in this area to growth to 10,000 employee's pool by 2012. 14 modules as shown below may be built on the property.

A canal dug from the bay under the highway and the projected rail line all the way to the commercial property would allow small boats to sail in land and use a dry dock dedicated for marine works, service and repairs. A much larger dry dock will be operated at the Santa Cruz Marina (at the south corner of the property).

50,000 SQM of warehouses will also be built of which 20,000 SQM will be refrigerated warehouses for storages of fruit, dairy and meet products servicing the Resorts. Additional, space will also be built close to Hermosillo international airport in order to insure the transport of the shrimp from the Aqua Farms north of Kino, to the market. In any case, dedicated refrigerated warehousing will be constructed at the site for refrigerated rail car transport. A 500 bed hospital and clinics will also be built here. These medical facilities will be essential for attracting family groups of investor buyers of the real estate at Kino, as well as to the many retirees migrating to Mexico from the US and Canada. This complex is essential for the good order of the entire project. It is here where the Mexican officials will have their offices and where the necessary police and fire houses will be erected (a total of 30,000 SQM). The envisioned commercial components encompassing over 600 hectares are:

 

•  Warehouses – NAFTA compatible - for Kino Resorts planned (50,000 SQM) of which 30,000 SQM will be refrigerated;

 

•  Light Manufacturing facilities which will be leased or sold to various international companies for production of green energy related products, and ship yards – 250,000 SQM + Additional Offices and Light Industrial – 120,000 SQM for general use and lease to other industries interested in Kino;

 

•  Hospital and Medical Clinics (500 beds Hosp) – 60,000 SQM on 6 levels (hospital) and 20,000 SQM clinics

 

•  Police, Fire Stations, Administration, Sewer and general utilities – 30,000 SQM

 

•  1,200 MW power plants (green) – 120,000 SQM of which 80 MW or more will be placed on site for the shrimp farm operation.

 

•  Green Space, roads, etc – on 80 hectares (including reserves for future construction), and more...
