The Brown Sugar Mall project is an open development opportunity that is located adjacent to Brown Sugar: Phase 1. Similarly, Brown Sugar Mall is in the heart of Tourist Village 
, located centrally in Belize City along the Caribbean Sea. Brown Sugar Mall is three square acres in size and is located in the very popular Rehab Zone - the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is investing $30,000,000.00USD into the infrastructure for Tourist Village. Downtown Belize, a nearby couple hundred yards away, is currently undergoing a government-funded development of $10,000,000.00USD for new sidewalks , lighting, streets, landscape and security.
The location of Brown Sugar Mall is central to all major life in Belize City, and hosts the only water-front sites available for expansion in Tourist Village (Royal Caribbean and Diamonds International are the current owners of Tourist Village and unable to expand, and currently receive $96USD per square foot annually), where 1,400,000 visitors disembark from cruise ships annually.
Brown Sugar Mall is currently in a state that is development-ready; Fortune Investments, Inc. will facilitate all documents of approval for construction provided by the Belizean government, including a gambling license that allows Brown Sugar Mall to facilitate visitors with slot machines. The majority of foundations for Brown Sugar Mall are poured with pilings for structures, including a boardwalk along the entire ocean frontage. On this boardwalk includes a foundation that is poured for an over-the-water restaurant/bar.
