■ WORLDWIDE ■ SUSTAINABLE COMM DEVELOPERS
Over 26% of the civilized world has no access to electricity on demand, 40% of the world’s population does not have direct access to safe potable water, 15% of the world goes to bed hungry every night, 30% do not have access to any healthcare professional and or medical facility, and over 20% of all the people in the world live in “urban slums” or are outright homeless. According to theologians, scientists and humanitarians alike, all global “trends” are on the rise, as there are over a quarter million babies being born each day worldwide!
NATURE’S WAY Development Company was founded by a group of experienced and dedicated developers who want to DO SOMETHING about these rising global “trends.” With a BOLD Vision and Mission, the Company has set out to accomplish just that, to reverse these growing global “trends” by integrating innovative, evolutionary new sustainable technologies with land planning designs THAT WILL shift the paradigm and architecture of how “Communities of the Future” are developed and built.
NATURE’S WAY Development Company has strategically teamed with PREF, Sustainable Energy Consultants and eCore Energy to design and engineer La Joya de Panama into one of its premier worldwide “Communities of the Future” using some of the most state‐of‐the‐art sustainable
technologies and environmental renewable energy solutions in the market today; i.e. disruptive NanoGen Solar Panels, Renewable Energy Storage and Management Solutions, distributive Distribution and Transmission Micro‐Grid Systems, potable Clean and Safe Water Solutions,
convertible Municipal Trash and Sewage Waste‐to‐Energy Treatment Systems, and Sustainable Net‐Zero Energy and Building Solutions for commercial and residential construction.
Mr. Tim Roberts, CEO of PREF Real Estate Developers, and Mr. JS Parker, Managing Director of NATURE’S WAY Development Company are eager to bring their 80 years of combined experience of building mixed‐use master planned communities in Southern California and throughout the Western United States to the shores of Panama.
