Grupo Mariana is redefining real estate investment in Nicaragua through Playa Mariana, a master-planned coastal community that fuses wealth creation with social and environmental impact.
Founded more than two decades ago by Canadian entrepreneur Kevin Fleming – who followed the Nicaraguan woman he loved back to her homeland – Grupo Mariana began as a story rooted in both land and heart. What started as a personal journey of belonging has since evolved from traditional resort development into what Fleming now calls Impact Real Estate.
“Every title carries more than ownership. It carries schools, homes, and purpose alongside profit.”
— Kevin Fleming
Stretching across 923 acres and a full mile of swimmable Pacific beachfront, Playa Mariana stands as Central America’s first community built entirely on this principle. The project has already secured over $10 million in land and due-diligence investment, supported by a verified 120-year freehold title chain and dual U.S. title insurance from First American Title Insurance Company and Stewart Title Guarantee. With more than 100 property titles already transferred, Grupo Mariana demonstrates that its commitments are not aspirational – they are proven. “Trust is not born from glossy promises,” Fleming said. “It’s forged in scars and proven by due diligence.”
At Playa Mariana, five percent of every closed sale goes directly to Fundación Grupo Mariana, which builds schools, supports housing, and sparks local entrepreneurship. The development integrates ample green zones and operates under a registered Property Regime with recorded covenants that protect long-term value. Its design honors Nicaraguan culture with preserved archaeological discoveries and authentic community heritage woven throughout.
Beyond lifestyle and sustainability, investors are responding to timing. With $430 million in airport and highway infrastructure underway, Nicaragua’s emerging Pacific Passage is becoming a prime corridor for tourism and wellness investment. “Early movers capture appreciation driven by infrastructure completion,” Fleming noted. “We are not selling speculation — we are building platforms that last beyond political cycles.”
Each property offers not only legal clarity and defensibility, but symbolic permanence: ownership in a community where wealth and purpose grow together. “My vision is that when you say Mariana, you won’t need to say Nicaragua or Central America,” Fleming said. “Mariana will stand on its own.”
