OAKLAND PARK, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 02/24/16 -- Biostem Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK: BSEM) -- Biostem Technologies is pleased to announce executed contract for the purchase of 98 acres of waterfront property for plans to build a rejuvenation spa resort, to include stem cell treatments provided by Biostem Technologies. The property is situated in Reykjavik, Kjalarneshreppur and is approximately a 20-minute drive from the city centre. The signing signifies momentum toward developing "Nesvik" into a forward looking, luxurious and desirable location.
The ISK 145,000,000 (Approx. $1.12 mil USD) purchase agreement from Pera ehf, a company registered in Iceland enables the Biostem Technologies to move ahead with plans to expand into European markets. This expansion is expected to help position Biostem Technologies for continued diversification and economic development opportunities that will benefit the company and shareholders alike.
"The purchase agreement of this parcel of land for future development is a significant step taken in Biostem's commitment to building our international brand and positioning the company and shareholders for future prosperity," Jason Matuszewski, President and Chief Executive Officer, said.
Iceland is known around the world for its natural magnificence, geothermal power, and has become a booming tourism destination. The tourism industry has been growing drastically over recent years in Iceland, "Revenue from foreign tourists amounted to ISK 158,5 billion in 2014, i.e. ISK 27 billion more than in 2013. This represents a year-on-year increase of some 20%," Statistics Iceland.
Biostem Technologies is currently in negotiations with a "green" property development firm out of California for the development of the projected 100+ room facility. The Company believes that as Iceland is one of the fastest growing tourisms destinations in the world, and a central location between the Eastern US and Europe, this location will provide a perfect location to expand Biostem's business model for cellular treatments. We look forward to aiding in the stimulation of Iceland's local and national economy through providing jobs to natives and attracting tourism.
Renovations for the two existing buildings on the property are underway and should be completed by end of Q1.
