Few brands have catapulted to the pinnacle of the BA social scene in recent yearslike Stella Artois. From oversized billboards in Las Caitas to field-side service at theTriple Crown of polo, the Anheuser-Busch InBevblonde beauty knows where to beseen and seduce total strangers. Fitting then that her powers of persuasion will lurebeer masters from around the world to Buenos Aires next month.

The Stella Artois World Draught Masters is an annual competition which celebratesthe 9-step ritual of pouring the perfect pint of Stella Artois. Since the inaugural eventin 1997, global champions have hailed from Australia, Belgium, Italy, New Zealand,Romania and the U.S. including last years champion Chris Myers.

I cant wait for the finals.Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he told the Belfast Telegraph adding, I dontknow if Im ever going to get the chance to visit that part of the world again, so Imtaking a full week out over there to relax and enjoy it as much as I can.

Should Messom win the competition, he wont have much time for breezy strollsthrough Recoleta and Palermo. According to the official website, our winner willbecome Stella Artois Ambassador and go on a world tour teaching zythology andthe art of the perfect pour to aspiring candidates. The itinerary will take ourchampion to Russia, Australia, China, USA, Canada, Argentina, Ireland, Brazil,

HOLLYWOODArgentina epitomizes opportunityfor companies across multipleindustries given its combination ofyouthful demographics, economic

growth and rising consumerism.And while many foreign investorsfocus primarily on major citieslike Buenos Aires, Rosario andCrdoba, there are incrediblegrowth opportunities to be tappedand mined in what Argentinesrefer to as el Interiorof the country.

So when I received my invitationto the Grand Opening of the firstHollywood Burger in Argentina, Iwas pleasantly surprised to see

that it would take place, not inBA, but rather in the picturesqueMendoza town of San Rafael.

Actually getting there would beanother story. The winter eruptionof Puyehue sent volcanic ash skywardand grounded flights throughout

Argentina in July, so an overnightbus trip would be my method ofcarriage across the fertile Pampa.

Considering that millions of youngAmericans have boarded buses fordecades to seek out their fame andfortune in the Hollywood Hills, itseemed only fitting that I seize themoment and do the same.

The 1,000-kilometer journey wasnot only breathtaking, it felt like atrek into the heart of the Old West,a land of untapped opportunities

for those willing to seek them out.Highway 40 in the Uco Valley en route to San Rafael

HOLLYWOODSan Rafael is definitely one ofthose untapped gems, but it takeslocal intel to understand a localopportunity and a real group ofvisionaries to make it happen.

Enter NYC-based DPEC Partners,the brains and capital behind theHollywood Burger franchise.

Having already made inroads withother investments in Mendoza,DPEC CEO Scott Mathis knew the

town of nearly 200,000 coupledwith the absence of a casualdining franchise presented aunique background for launchinga revolutionary hamburger andgourmet coffee chain.

He then assembled an investorteam with some of the brightest

minds from the worlds of casualdining, consumer goods and, ofcourse, entertainment.

bask in a Grand Opening glow asbright as the lights on Sunset. Thenight, like Hollywood Burger, nowbelonged to San Rafael, a townneglected for decades by every

major fast food franchise. No longer.

And along with the red carpet andpaparazzi, San Rafael receivedsomething much more uniquethan just another burger joint.Hollywood Burger features an

original Fresh Food Fast conceptrelying on local suppliers and asleek gourmet coffee bar calledHollywood Cafe. Throw in acolorful Kids Playroom, free WiFiand the Hollywood star treatment,and youve got the recipe for atruly awesome franchise withsomething for everyone.

The crowd gathered and the buzzgenerated by the Grand Openingwas palpable on the streets of thenormally quiet town. The locals,Sanrafaelinos, offered words ofappreciation for the chance to

CEO Scott Mathis & Marcos Aldao cut

the ribbon at the Grand Opening.

HOLLYWOODWith the next Hollywood Burgeralready under construction inCrdoba, it is easy to imagine thisfranchise blanketing Argentina inthe near future for three very

important reasons:

1.) Argentines devour good brands,or as they say in Spanish, come-marcas. Mix in the originalHollywood angle and the FreshFood Fast concept and youve got

a genuine recipe for success.

2.) Casual dining restaurants arethefastest-growing franchisesegment in Argentina accountingfor 34% of all new franchises.Growth is strongest in the long-neglected interior of the country.

3.) Demographics: Argentina ishome to 70 cities like San Rafaelwith populations over 75,000 andno major franchise to speak of.

Just two months after the GrandOpening, potential franchiseeshave already been identified inseveral developed countries andemerging markets.

Like the team at DPEC Partners,potential franchisees should havean entrepreneurial spirit, a trackrecord of success in the restaurantbusiness and shared enthusiasmfor building the leading operator

of Hollywood-themed hamburgerand coffee houses in the world.

If that sounds like you, maybe itstime to board the bus and seek outyour slice of Hollywood fame andfortune. For more information, e-mail [email protected].

BA EMBRACES A NEW BRAND OF POLO

matechnologyaudiovisualdesignpharmatechnologyaudiovisualdesignpharmat

When most foreign travelers and investors think ofPolo in Buenos Aires, it conjures up images of

Cambiaso and Palermo, high-goal matches and LaMartina clothing. But the new wave of polo beingembraced by the City of Buenos Aires is slowlychanging the landscape of Capital Federal andtransforming the city into a net exporter of creativeservices.

Under the direction of the Ministry of Economic

Development, the four main polos or centers ofattraction in Buenos Aires are the emerging DesignDistrict in Barracas based in the MetropolitanDesign Center, the Tech District in Parque Patricios,the Audiovisual District in Palermo Hollywood andthe Pharmaceutical District in the south.

The Districts are spaces where companies andacademia come together for innovation and

production while blending with the culturalidentity of the surrounding barrios. We attendedthe Grand Opening ofthe Design District lastyear. Today, that state-of-the-art facility serves asan incubator for young companies with promisingproducts and design ideas.

The Technology Districtwas the second polo to take shape, and TataConsultancy Services was one of the first global IT companies to make the

move to Parque Patricios. Today, less than two years later, over 100companies call the Tech District home, and the City just extended the HLine of the Subte to Parque Patricios making it easier for worker access.

InvestBA was recently invited to attend a guided tour of the Tech Districtled by Ms. Valeria Zivelonghi of the Citys Investor Assistance Center (CAI).She explained the attractive package of tax exemptions, lines of credit andother incentives available to companies relocating to the District.

Like the other BA Polos, the goals of the Tech District include promotingIT service exports and BAs economic diversity, attracting domestic andinternational IT investment, and transforming the surrounding barrio ofParque Patricios into a live/work/play destination that attracts more full-time workers and small businesses that serve the new District residents.

The Audiovisual Districtwas the third BA Polo to receive governmentapproval, and it will have the largest geographical footprint (1,700 acres)

and potential impact onjob creation (63,000 new jobs) in Buenos Aires.

From commercials to TV shows to feature films, the City of Buenos Aires isnow the 4th most popular destination in the world for film crewsaccording to a new ranking from Variety. Only Prague, Paris and New Yorkrank higher than Buenos Aires which has blossomed in recent years as adestination of choice for film and television production.

We want the world to look at Buenos Aires as a movie set the size of acity, GCBA Economic Development Minister Francisco Cabrera adding,The sector is one of the most dynamic of the local economy. BAsaffordability, abundance of creative talent, and diversity of backdropsmakes it universally appealing with the barrios of Monserrat, Palermo,Puerto Madero, Recoleta and San Telmo among the most popular for films.

Buenos Aires: The Most Affordable City in Latin AmericaThe Wealth Management Research group atUBS released the 40th Annual edition ofPrices& Earnings, a standardized survey of pricesand wages for 73 of the worlds largest metros.In terms of prices, UBS looks at a shoppingbasket of 122 different goods and services

geared to western European consumer habits,and Buenos Aires ranks near the bottom at #68sandwiched between Kuala Lumpur and Cairo.

Scanning the list from top to bottom, a fewpatterns emerged in the past year of marketturmoil and wild currency fluctuations. The

usual suspects are still the worlds mostexpensive cities (Oslo, Zrich,Geneva), UScities have all dropped several rungs given USdollar weakness against global currencies,Sydney catapulted to the Top 10 while NYC fellout given the Australian dollars continuedappreciation against the US dollar.

Luxury Condo Hotel Investment Opportunitiesin Buenos Aires, Argentina & UruguayIncomeBA

Earlier this year, we introduced IncomeBA, a selectportfolio ofincome-producing condo-hotel propertiesfor foreign investors in Buenos Aires, Argentina andUruguay.

As anticipated, the concept resonated with smallinvestors looking to invest in hard assets during thisperiod of rising global uncertainty and triple-digitgyrations on the Dow.

The first hotel, Palermo Place, commenced

construction in 2010 and 97% of the units werepurchased by foreign investors, most of them from theU.S., Canada, Europe, Mexico and Australia. All of ourinvestors were making their first real estate purchasein Argentina, which spoke volumes about their comfortlevel in dealing with a US-based real estate developerwith significant South American experience.

Unlike the vast majority of real estate projects inArgentina, Palermo Place finished on time and onbudget. Our investors came to Buenos Aires in April totake delivery of their units and celebrate the Grand

Opening of Palermo Place, the first hotel in the new PHotel chain.

The second P Hotel is currently under construction inthe Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo Hollywoodand the third hotel will break ground in January 2012in the Uco Valley of Mendoza at Tupungato Winelands.

Today, four months since the Grand Opening,bookings are solid and Palermo Place already ranksamong the Top 15 Buenos Aires hotels on TripAdvisor.

From an investment standpoint, even better newscame last month in one of Argentinas leadingnewspapers.

Carlos Manzoni of La Nacion says that hotels, andspecifically condo-hotels, are the new boomproperty for real estate investors in Argentina. Thearticle cites many of the same motivating factors

outlined in our original prospectus: Argentinas pro-tourism policies, relative affordability, quality oflifeand a tidal wave of Brazilian demand.Manzoni says Argentinas affordability has created aflood of Brazilian tourists including a new wave ofmiddle-class travelers choosing Argentina for hotels,

restaurants and retail stores that are all more affordablethan those at home in Brazil.

In addition to strong demand coming from Brazil,North America and Europe, Manzoni says condo-hotelinvestments in Argentina offer other advantages likeflexibility, absentee ownership, the prestige ofestablished brands and a monthly income streamderived from the hotels pool of rental properties.

A cavernous sixty-foot living room complete with afour-ton white sculpture, enormous geodes on thewalls, a towering red stone fireplace and a purple-toned ceiling with a Google Map-inspired frieze ofUruguay. And thats just the Living Room.

The Estancia Vik is as graceful and unassuming onthe outside as it is bold and inspirational on theinside. Built six years ago as the sprawling cherryatop a 4,400-acre blanket of green, the Vik wastransformed from private residence to a 19-roomluxury hotel and opened for business in 2009.

This New Years Eve, when native New Yorkers andEuropeans raise a champagne toast with the locals,it will mark the fourth anniversary of this iconic

project built by Scandinavian tech entrepreneur andXcelera CEO, Alexander Vik.

Vik, a Harvard graduate who grew up in the U.S.,first discovered Uruguay at the age of 32, but insome respects, the country had been with him sincechildbirth. His mother was the daughter of aUruguay diplomat stationed in Norway.

Viks passion for Uruguay is manifest in the artwork that adornsevery square meter of the guest rooms and the hotel common

areas including a Dining Room, a 5,000-bottle Wine Cellar, aGame Room, a Gym, Spa, Pool & Gardens. The Parillero, a

Uruguay BBQ room, is a brilliant space with paint-splatteredwalls, casual seating reminiscent of a gauchos dining table and

a parrilla vent the size and shape of a Titan One rocket tip.

While the Estancias layout encourages exploration and casualencounters, guests will find equal parts solitude and creative

energy in their private suites. 19 of Uruguays most celebratedartists and sculptors were charged with making every room of

the Estancia Vik visually stunning, explains Vik Retreats GeneralManager Agustn Leone. Some of the featured artists include

Carlos Barea, Jose Trujillo, Clever Lara and Pablo Atchugarry

Mr. Leone, the former GM of Robert Duvalls House ofJasmines in Salta, is a gracious host and speaks about his two

properties with the passion of a proud father and the artknowledge of a veteran curator. We want our guests to feel the

privacy of a luxury estancia combined with the comfort of afriends guest home. At Estancia Vik, we like to say the

attraction is Nature Outside, Art Inside.

You dont need fancy gear or expertise or money, says Clarins Jimena

Olazar, so there are no excuses for not joining this new phenomenon.

Seasoned runners and would-be corredores in Buenos Aires also have a

great support network from the localClub de Corredores to Runnin

Magazinewith over 12,000 Facebook friends to theCity ofBuenos

Airesherself which offers Buenos Aires Corre, free running education

and training in five locations throughout Capital Federal.

Who Runs Buenos Aires?Its a good question to ask considering this is an electionyear in Argentina. Last year we wrote that BA had suddenly becomeA Runners Paradise. This year the sport

has exploded with bigger races, better courses, more sponsors and, most importantly, runners.

Clarn says the Boom de Carreras is drawing 20% more participants than last year while female participation

has grown 50% over the past decade. The sports beauty is its simplicity.

A lot more.

Libertador Avenue Into A Sea of Blue.

Running teams in BA, Rosario, Crdoba and Mendoza, both informal and

corporate-sponsored, are also growing at a phenomenal rate: 600% since

2001. And the payoff for all that training? Huge weekend races that feel

more like a party than a pounding. Part road race, part rock concert, part

love parade with thousands donning the requisite race shirt, road races in

Buenos Aires are the most fun you can have with your shoes on.

We Run Buenos Aires, Nikes annual 10K has become one of the most

anticipated events on the running calendar. For the 2010 edition, the streets

were bathed in a sea of day-glo green shirts, and Nike further solidified its

reputation as the brand synonymous with running in Argentina. (Race Video) The 2010 We Run Buenos Aires 10Kwith the Obelisk in the Background

lgodon Wine Estates

When CNN/Money Magazine recently selected four of the bestdestinations in the world for retirement, three of the cities were in

the United States and one was located in a picturesque cornerof Argentine wine country: San Rafael, Mendoza.

Could there have been a better validation for the US-basedinvestor group that chose to call San Rafael home four yearsago? They arrived in 2007 with the vision of living thewinemakers dream. Today, that dream is becoming a reality...

SLEEPING SOUNDLY IN MALBEC

The Lodge at Algodon Wine Estates offersfive-star accommodations and 10 veryspacious, well appointed rooms eachnamed after a different varietal. My room,Malbec, was located in the Wine & GolfLodge which features a cozy gallery withtwo fireplaces, large sofas and an honor barstocked with fine scotch and bourbon.

The warm mix of colors and textures in theWine & Golf Lodge stands in sharp contrastto the more formal black-and-white of theAlgodon Mansion, the Wine Estates big citycousin. Like the Mansion, the Lodge is nostranger to accolades having already pickedup the 2010 Wine Tourism Award for BestInternational Accommodations from Great

Wine Capitals.

The rooms feature beautiful King-size bedswith enormous headboards, sitting areaswith stoves, custom cabinetry and privateterraces for relaxing outdoors after a roundof golf or horseback riding. Attention todetail is evident from the antique mates onthe desk to the Algodon milled soaps.

LIVING THE DREAM

The long weekend at Algodon Wine Estatesoffered the perfect elixir of relaxation, finewine, natural beauty and even a round ofgolf amid half-century-old vineyards. Twoemotions defined the return flight to BA onMonday: sadness over leaving mixed withelation over discovering a hidden gem onlya few knew aboutuntil now.

Earlier this year CNN Money chose SanRafael as one of 4 Great Places to Retire.The Fortune blog described the city with apopulation of 173,000 as being veryaffordable with plenty of amenities, andthe feel of a small European town.

CNN Money says San Rafaels charms are

beginning to lure expats from the U.S.,Canada and Europe in search of a uniqueretirement destination where those with anactive lifestyle and an entrepreneurial spiritare finding un paraso argentino.

A New Bottle for Argentine MalbecVeralia Argentina, a global glass manufacturer with offices in Mendoza, is rolling outthree distinctive bottles that will carry the stamp Malbec Argentina. The companyhas been working on the initiative for three years and believes it will help ArgentineMalbecs easier to identify in foreign grocery and liquor stores, according to LosAndes Miguel Angel Flores. This could prove especially true in the United Stateswhere most retailers tend to group Argentine wines under a catch-all category likeSouth American wines. The new bottles are part of the Ecova line which Veraliaintroduced in 2009 and come in three different sizes to indicate the individual wines

quality : Maipo (premium), Cuyo (super premium) and Icono (self explanatory).

DeNiro, Bono Investing In MendozaPairing is everything when it comes to fine wine and cuisine, and the pairing of theworlds greatest living actor with one of the worlds best wine producingregionswould be a maridaje increble. According to Los Andes, Robert De Niromay soon join the list of celebrities investing in Mendoza vines. The legendary actoris interested in purchasing an approximately 100-acre vineyard in Mendoza. Whilethe deal has not closed, the paper says negotiations for a Mendoza vineyard are fairlyadvanced. Earlier this year U2 lead singer Bono was spotted in Mendoza shoppingfor his own private vineyard. Sources say the tentative name for Bobby Ds Argentinewine is fittinglyRodrigo Mendoza, the same name of the character he playedopposite Jeremy Irons in the 1986 film, The Mission.

More Foreigners Buying in Mendoza

The number of foreign investors buying real estate inMendoza continues to rise according to a new survey ofbuyers and brokers in Los Andes Online. Gabriela Balls saysinvestors view Mendoza as a safe place to invest withregions like the Valle de Uco, Vistalba, Chacras de Coriaand San Rafael as some of the most sought-afterdestinations in Argentinas most prolific wine region.

In terms of who is doing the buying, Balls says ourneighbors from Chile top the list followed by the French,Americans, Italians, Spaniards and Canadians. Theeconomic slowdown in Europe has triggered a wave ofMendoza-bound migration from Spain and Italy, whilesimilar malaise in our hemisphere is resulting in more NorthAmericans investing in Argentina vineyard properties, rawland or second homes in Mendoza.

Balls spoke with one broker who listed New York, LosAngeles and Miami as three of the U.S. markets where thenumber of inquiries for investment opportunities inMendoza have risen sharply in recent months with crisis-fleeing Europeans and real-toting Brazilians rounding outthe Big 3. The author said every broker she consulted saysforeign investors are drawn to casual living elementssurrounding the vineyard lifestyle like fine dining, golf,tennis, hotels, Spas, polo and horseback riding.
