Vorarlberg applies some of the strictest eligibility criteria in the Alps; in the majority of municipalities new applications are no longer accepted. Elements Residences holds an existing Zweitwohnsitz approval, which means: - Owners may use the property for personal stays at any time, for any duration, without rental obligation - No restrictions on length or frequency of personal stays - The permit is attached to the property title and transfers automatically on resale - Long-term capital value supported by scarcity of such approvals in Vorarlberg This is the key differentiator: most new-build Alpine apartments in Austria are classified for tourist letting (Freizeitwohnsitz) with restrictions on owner occupation. Elements Residences carries no such restrictions. ## Developer & Agent Elements Residences GmbH / Mountain Residences BV.
