This means TH-cam tax is coming 😢😢
sell with planning and buy space to build your own house .use the money to finish london yard site
simple as. job done. now get me Heineken
This is the best option
Some people play chess, some people play drafts
Pragmatic and sensible..
He doesn’t need the money
He doesn’t need to sell it
Simple
Everything else put on pause to watch Ashville...
At times I feel bad why I didn't get notified of uploads
But everything is out on wait
Including phone charging
Hi Daniel, I would put St Lucia on hold for a while, until your UK move has been sorted and settled down.
All the best,
Dave Robinson
honestly, sell with planing and buy a plot of land for a personal home. taking on dept and huge resposiblitly for something that is a passion project seems like a great way to end up hating it.
100% agree with this.
@@jonthomson1996 Could also sell with planning and retain the space for his own house too.. (good shout either way)
@@Montylondonproperty yes but have you considerd that
1. his buisness in the UK is going through a very important time
2. this is clearly a passion project not a coldly calculated buisness move
if he never took risks he wouldn't be where he is today...
@@equity6682 yes but this is an unnsessery with bad odds of sucsess while he's undertaking a much more important project (moving to the new yard)
My father used to always tell me. “Shop build house, house can’t build shop”. The long and short of is focus on what’s making you money now. Don’t add anymore debt with all that you have going on. That’s my suggestion. All the best with whatever you decide Daniel
Good comment
Good comment, but nobody knows Daniels financial situation. For example 1 year after starting a business he bought a plot for 120k. Who could thought he have money for that, even on a small loan
This comment sounds good in theory but could be limiting in practice.
Mate go for it, you will regret it, take the headache on. It's well worth it, it's a headache for your future, either for your or your kids if you decide to have any. Your at the right point in your life to manage this issue, your mum and uncle will be proud once complete, and you will be appreciated it once complete and something to look forward to for the future.
Well done Daniel,you set a good example for the young people who wants to go into the building trades,, I’m a subscriber and I have been watching all your videos,, every Sunday I’m up early to watch your video before I take my dog walking,, this video is a bonus for me,,,
I'd say you have put a lot of thought and work into this for over a decade, Finish things in West Drayton first, Let Ashville regain some of the money back from setting up the new yard. Then build Ashville heights, lets be real, there are loads of wealthy Americans, Europeans and Canadians etc looking for a Caribbean home, Some may even buy just because it is your development and your videos are transparent about doing everything properly and taking no shortcuts, Hence ensuring quality. You got to take risks in life to reap the rewards, I can only see this becoming a success. Good luck to you
Or do a small build before a big project.

HOLD!!! Deal with the main course now and the dessert will pay for itself.
Continue your hold,it’s a strong asset and youve already done the hard part.
Yes it’s a cash injection into London yard but that asset is worth the debt as it’s established. Settle in the new yard, study Lucia market and when ready go big on Ashville heights.
Bish bash bosh
You are really an inspiration Daniel. I will surely keep pushing too. 🇿🇲
Daniel, it's an exciting project but does have potential pitfalls as you have noted. Not the least of those may be the untimely distraction of splitting your oversight at a crucial time for your UK operations as you shift over to a newly set up yard. Then there's the need to find trustworthy management to run this resort. I trust you can tread that fine line of maintaining local goodwill as you construct a luxury resort on the island. The fact that you aired this episode hints that you're already moving forward on this so I wish you the best.🎊
I’m sure the excavation will take 6 months….. not much to keep an eye on constantly but your right he dose like a full plate 😅
Great video Daniel! As someone who lives in the Caribbean, I would advise not to sell with planning as you have a prime piece of property and may not find it elsewhere. I see Ashville Heights as building generational wealth for your family and claiming your inheritance. You have a knowledgeable team offering great advice in moving you forward. Trust your instincts and take the calculated risk to make it a reality!
Dan you got this and you're built for it. You've been doing this for 18 years and have built up alot of experience and expertise in construction. Great that you've consulted with your team to get thorough planning and insight on the build. These are future plans coming into fruition. Just as you started the channel 4 years ago and it's grown to 500k subs, the same can be done for this property build. Looking forward to opening of the new build 💯💯✊🏿✊🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
It's Ashville weekly Wednesday. Yay
Ashville TH-cam Brain Storming, Marketing , Nice !!!
It's 2050 in St Lucia, you are at retirement age and the kids are taking over. You're really grateful you put in the graft back in the 2020s and Ashville Heights is thriving.
Totally blown away what a mind
Keep with the good work. You inspire many people
Has a Nigerian born and raised in both Nigeria and the US. If I had the fund I would invest in Ashville Heights.
It will definitely be a place to take my wife and 3 sons and get away from the world.
I pray you find like minded individuals to invest in your property. It’s definitely one of those you lay down now. And generations appreciate later.
Unfortunately my mom has passed I wish I had her with me today.
Daniel cherish your mom that has done so much for you. Appreciate your Uncles. Haven’t heard much about your dad, but it makes me think you are in the same space has I am @ 50. He could have done better for his fam.
Happy Father’s Day everyone. And Eid Mubarak!
Follow your heart Daniel, you 100% are going to get a home in St Lucia. I think you should sell with planning & use the money to build your dream house big enough for you and family, you can always come back to Ashville heights later down the line, an having built & owned your own smaller place it will give you a wealth of knowledge and insight on how best to proceed with building the big dream in St Lucia, Ashville heights will become a reality & the meantime I’d say baby steps, before you know it you’ll be building the Ashville dream apartments🙏🏻 much love my brother
The decision of building the ashville hights consider it as a " risk " (in a positive approach sense), proceed to finish the construction of your new yard and try to ensure final decision on the ashville hights is due done in 90% completion of the new yard. Forward forward always Daniel 💯
Good to see you keeping in touch with your heritage as if you don't know where you come from you do not know where you are going and keep one eye on the past and one on the future
Cracking episode. . What a great break down of your project.
WELL DONE DANIEL....
You are such a inspiration to me you have helped me push on I aways wait for your videos even when I am at work you have helped me achieve lots of things and also learn lots of things that have actually benefited me in life Especially with my business.
You build it, they will come!
Trust your instincts and the process all will come to fruition
Daniel just go for it ,you want it ,look what you have built your empire, your a brilliant business man,I admire what you have built 👍
well done Daniel, go for it
Dude. You are a success already!
Great work Daniel ! I like your videos and ideas. Go with your dreams you already done your research. Wish you all the best
Absolutely Ashville ❤❤❤
Great video - finding it difficult to suggest an option. You are a wise man Daniel and you shall make the right decision 😊
Go for it Daniel. You have the skills and knowledge.
My gut feeling is to sell with planning and a more suitable site for you personally, but then the only experience I have is the renovation of a Public house to a 62 cover Pub Restaurant. Best of Luck buddy love the videos and your journey you are an inspiration for young people.
This is tribute to hard work an perseverance.
Your just one clued up fella good stuff bro
Good reasoning on the matter !
this guy is a genius
Dear darling Daniel, Sir Tropical People, you may never see or read this comment but in case you do:
The world knows that you’re THE BUILDER, but build up your own world so you’re not a vacant plot at the end of your lifetime.
… St. Lucia is part of you Daniel and your upbringing, your paradise - a warm, serene and peaceful place with your family away from the SERIOUS hustle, grind, stress and rain in the UK. However, do you want your present life to follow you to St.Lucia in building this high end development?
Or, is a place you watch the sunset into the water, laugh out loud, eat fresh fruit and ground provisions, fall in love over again daily with your future (or current) special lady/wife and create lifelong memories with your future little babies of your Louisy clan learning about their St. Lucian roots and culture the same way that you did?
Very philosophical considerations apart from the business and financial aspects. You’re halfway through your life so make this half worthwhile.
Much love, from JoJo in Alberta, Canada your biggest fangirl xoxo
Really enjoyed this video,
Very informative, Thanks Daniel
Didn’t even know Ashville was st.lucian 🙌🏾this is so sick ! Big up my people 🇱🇨❤️
There’s no doubt that you will make this a success as usual, but I totally get where your coming from, sell the plots with PP and source a smaller development by the sea , this way you can build at lower height, say 2 stories- something simple which has low maintenance, both mentally and financially. Both my late parents are from St Lucia, if I had a second chance that’s what I’d do, I would concentrate on luxury affordability, but with a generous profit. Take care D.
Another good video… but I can’t be only one itching for new yard content!
NICE !!!!
First love it
Build it Daniel always tuned in on Ashville from Trinidad and Tobago !
Hello . Greetings from Warsaw, Poland😊
I think it’s a great idea and definitely go for it. It will be your legacy in St Lucia.
What ever you decide you definitely need a personal home there asap! Your dear mother didn’t go through the trouble of taking you back there as she brought you up to abandon it as an adult. Plus you work so hard and deserve a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world.
Go for it Daniel!
Nice!
Masa! Go for it!
This is some good content man. Im an engineer and aspiring real estate developer and hopefully one day I can fund these kinds of projects
I am a super fan honestly well done on the progression bro as a young black man it makes me want to do more 💙👊🏽💪🏽
Man i loved St Lucia when i visited in 2010.. good memories visiting the government house and trees with rainbow trunks. My favourite island out of Antigua and Aruba! 🙌🏻
Love the videos me and my wife have just been to Saint Lucia for our honeymoon. Absolutely love the country will definitely be going back ❤
Brilliant video
Bro you’re st. Lucian that’s crazy. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a minute . Welcome home
Jaw dropping development! Get it done mate, if anyone should be building and managing properties like that in St Lucia its you 💯
Go for it mate. You have cowered all angles. Only thing to be very cautious about is taking on d3bt. Right now that is the one lever out of your control
Good luck buddy excellent ❤🎉
Good vlog nice keep them coming 👍 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fortune Favours the brave. If anyone can do this Daniel you can, in your heart you know you want to do this.
1:32am and I just realised Daniel uploaded 6 hours ago 👍🏻
It’s your dream and your name! If you believe in it and you believe it’s the right thing to do, you should do it!
Go for it Dan, it's been one of your Dreams that can come true. Having Ashville Heights (an awesome name for it as it suits the terrain) in St Lucia will benefit yourself and St Lucia, your name alone will make Ashville Heights sought after as you are known for Quality of build. Go bigger if you want, but I think your plan you have now is surfice enough plus you can have your other Dream of having a place of your own in St Lucia for yourself and your family. You have done amazingly well building your Company over the years and now expanding into the Yard, this opportunity you have is an amazing one. Selling the land with Planning, will in my opinion, make it less attractive as the new owners might not have the level of detail you have. Yes adding debt on top with what you have going on right now is scary and big, but think of the future and your Legacy, this will also bring other opportunities of building Residences like this to you in other areas of the Caribbean or the World. Take the plunge Dan, you will not regret it.
i 100% agree!
It sounds like a luxury market focus is needed. Your potential owners have resources cushioned from the economy in general. Not the own an island crowd but stand alone wealthy. Your friend gave you high-end hotel advice. Find someone in the niche marketing for a target market value.
A self-made successful businessman like yourself still thinks that way. You need the ones the next step up. Where success or failure is a manage the debt problem. Not lose the lifestyle or business one.
Love the content. I want to make it to Europe to ride trains. Cheers.
@ For Adventurous @ For Ambition 👍
New comer to the channel but similar story on my end with respect to Ghana. Big up!
Daniel, your plan looks solid. However, I would recommend letting the market fund your project. Pre-sell the apartments before starting construction. Once you have secured buyers for all units, proceed with the build. This strategy helps mitigate the financial risk of constructing without market assurance. I’m sure you’re already aware of this approach.
Concentrate on the new yard as that is your bread and butter. You have sat on the land for years now so another couple of years might help you decide what to do after the new yard is complete. You have a lot of good contacts so you might be able to have potential buyers in place before you start the build. A lot to think about but i am sure you will make the right decision that suits your finances.👍
Daniel,
You are are very capable man and I am very confident that you can manage to finish your yard in UK and to build that luxury building! Just go ahead and build it.
NIK
I think Ashville Heights is a fantastic venture, and not knowing how much an apartment would cost, I would be confident in purchasing one based on your portfolio so far, and the keen eye for detail and high quality you have. I would partly buy one because of your association, so if be disappointed if you sold all interest after the build. What can I say, you're a strong influence in the credibility of the build.
The underlying theme that I am hearing throughout the video is that you want a special place in St Lucia for yourself.
With that in mind... leave the apartment complex idea for now. Sell with planning, build your St Lucian home and invest the rest in your growing UK business.
Yeah man. I would love to go to St Lucia. I have never taken a Caribbean tour before.
Just crack on and get it done, no one is getting any younger and you will certainly regret it if you don’t do it, if anyone can do it you are the man that can. Good luck☀️shine.
Build your dream.
If it feels like home stay If not you got the experience from it and most the buzz of doing what you dream was in 2006.
But you love the buzz of a challenge and you know you'll never lose on it.
Bring it on 😊
Wait a bit more , 5 years, time will tell. Get yourself a smaller plot for your own home while you wait. Build it , see what difficulties you had and be prepared for the big build. By the time you do this you will know to sell with planning or build big.
Personally I think with all that’s going on and the uncertainties. I would sell the plot with planning permission and look for a nice sea view plot for yourself to enjoy.
Good luck either way and keep up the good work 😊
Complete the new Yard then run the numbers on this project . I wouldn’t build small individual pools. I would build a large Infinity pool on the roof of each building. The pent house suite would have its own pool and personal spa . You might have room for a wave pool somewhere on the ground level for recreation
💯💯💯💯% go for it
Although its a great idea, I don't think you need that Stress in your Life fam! You getting old.. Time to start life. You only live once.. start a family, make your dream home, then finally rest and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe! The hardest choices require the strongest Wills 💎
Very cool congrats
Respect
My advice is to build based on the comps in the surrounding areas. If it still has a hard time selling, then AirBnb the units that didn't sell. Or you could even potentially do long term leases like a rental property.
All is about Reputation JR ✨️
This is my first time seeing this channel and I'm a fan. I think you shouldn't sell the property. Hold onto it for a bit longer while sorting out your UK business. When the UK stuff is stable and in order, give this a shot. I really think that thios project is something that will NEVER leave your mind. St Lucia is where your roots are and having a business like this is perfect. I want to do the same thing, as I was born & raised in South Africa but my roots are in Mozambique. I will take on a project like this over there some day, so I totally get how you feel. Don't sell. Just put it on hold then do it at a later stage.
If it were me, I would put the money into my main business and build that nest egg. Because, as you said, this project is self funded. Without the yard, there is no Asheville Heights. Starting the project prematurely will cause a mid project stop. The worst thing that could happen, is running out of money half way through. Unless you build the shell and slowly work on the inside. Thats always an option too.
Looking forward to seeing asheville throughout the caribbean
awesome
Do like in Sweden (Not always but often). Nothing until 30-70% of the appartments are sold (depending on when it is +-0). Then start the construction. Btw i love the plan you have.
Your Personal brand and transparency of your videos/build quality increases your chances of selling these units and making a success x10
I would personally fully focus on the business in the UK whilst building a house in st lucia on a different plot.
Go for it bro
Bless you BLACK MAN!
Personally I don't think you should incorporate you own residence into the build. I think you should use the space available to expand the potential of the build, whether it be a restaurant or a communal area with a pool and a bar or even all three, as we all know everyone loves to eat, drink and relax sometimes late into the evening when on holiday, I know I do.
Always rooting for you and your friends you show on your channel and Kurt is my name I’d love to see a series of Kurt and you together making your dream come to reality and if you’re uncle does the electrics even better
It's a good plan ,go for it can't lose.
I've got 20 years experience in the St Lucian property market. Confident you can make this happen.....definitely dont sell. We need more inventory on the island. Supply of property at this spec is very limted and availibilty generally has been on a decline with relatively high demand. Go for it Daniel and feel free to reach out for a chat 👍🏾
