Former Magic Life Founders Launch New Concept in Highest-End Luxury Real-Estate Development; The O Property Collection to Redefine Luxury Property Market



    The founders of Magic Life Group, Europe's most popular
    and high-end all-inclusive club, today launched The O Property
    Collection (OPC), the new model in ultra-luxury property development,
    based in Vienna.
    With a focus on unparalleled service, exotic locations and
    innovative design, OPC will provide the most comprehensive luxury
    living experience anywhere on earth and - in the process - build a
    loyal, global following of guests, residents and partners.
    "In years to come, The O Property Collection will be recognized as
    the brand that reinvented the high-end living experience," said Dr.
    Cem Kinay, Chairman and CEO of The O Property Collection. "The O will
    offer a personal, completely customizable experience to each
    individual and will redefine the luxury property landscape to inspire
    a new vision for the development industry."
    OPC founders Dr. Kinay and Oguz Serim have a well-established
    track record in luxury resort development and management. In 1990,
    they founded Magic Life Group. During its lucrative 14-year history,
    Magic Life acquired and managed 20,000 beds in Turkey, Greece,
    Tunisia, Spain, Egypt and Bulgaria, served 450,000 guests, and
    provided work for 6,000 employees every year, making it Europe's most
    popular and high-end all-inclusive club.
    This group has become synonymous with groundbreaking business
    practices in the travel and property sectors. In 2004, Magic Life
    Group and the group's Gulet Touropa Touristik were sold to TUI, one of
    the world's largest tour operators.
    Simplicity and modernity are at the core of OPC's mission, which
    is to become one of the worlds most desirable, respected premium
    brands, and, in the process, to set the benchmark for premium leisure
    and residential developments. To accomplish this, OPC has partnered
    with the world's most exclusive architects and designers, who share
    the company's philosophy.
    Founded in 2005, the company will invest in and develop premium
    realty ventures. The O Property Collection will commence operations by
    concentrating on projects located in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and
    Asian markets. In select locations, OPC will partner with the world's
    top hotel management companies to develop luxury properties of the
    highest quality. All products are marketed through international real
    estate networks, with dedicated project staff located in the U.S.,
    Europe and Asia.
    The Company's flagship development, project will be Dellis Cay, a
    private island in the Turks and Caicos. Scheduled to open in 2008, the
    project is currently estimated at a billion dollars of sales within
    the next 5 years. Dellis Cay exemplifies the OPC concept. It will be
    divided into "lifestyle zones," each designed by a different
    architectural master. This initial investment was made by Turks
    Development Limited Partners, created by OPC to invest in Caribbean
    projects through a subsidiary, Turks Limited.
    OPC has also signed a 49-year lease enabling it to renovate and
    operate Kayakapi in Turkey's Cappadocia region. The Company will
    develop a luxury mixed-use project that will result in a daily-use
    tourism and recreational area that includes restaurants, shops,
    museums and lodging accompanied by a boutique hotel and villas.
    Every OPC property will be different, but each will bear the marks
    of the OPC signature brand - breathtaking, timeless architecture,
    sleek design, a reciprocal fit with the natural surroundings and the
    absolute finest in amenities and services.
    OPC targets a variety of customers, generally ages 30 to 65, who
    are employed in dynamic industries. They are accustomed to excellent
    levels of service, travel frequently and are constantly looking for
    opportunities within the real estate sector. Properties will be easy
    to reach, easy to escape to and completely secure. Just as the design
    and service is impeccable, the amenities and partners will be selected
    to offer an unparalleled collection.
    "It is under truly rare circumstances that the most recognized
    architects, designers, and hoteliers from around the world will
    collaborate together, creating a cohesive architectural vision to
    bring O Property Collection to life," said OPC co-founder Serim. "Our
    ability to unite this array of unique talent is what enables OPC to
    create the most innovative, design-driven luxury destinations in the
    world."
