Condo. In modern property law, individual ownership of one dwelling unit within a multidwelling building. Unit owners have undivided ownership interest in the land and those portions of the building shared in common. This type of ownership has been present in Europe since the end of the Middle Ages; in the U.S. it dates to the latter half of the 19th century and has been popular in crowded urban areas. An alternative to the condominium is the cooperative, in which residents own a share of a corporation, with each share entitling the owner to reside in a particular unit in the building. |

This sliver of a nation south of Costa Rica links Central America to South America. It has coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific and lush mountains in between. Here, Gates has found his idyll: a revenue base not tied to boom-and-bust Florida. Panama is where he's now developing resorts, commercial buildings and residential areas worth $25 million to $500 million each. "I spent two years visiting every Caribbean island and Central American country," Gates said. "Panama had exactly what I was looking for." Gates liked that the service-based economy, growing nearly 9% a year, wasn't tourism-centric but diversified with banking, commerce and shipping. Panama is home to the world's second biggest free-trade zone. The $5.2 billion expansion of the Panama Canal should help keep the economy pumping. |
