Nesara Bay City and Gesara Bay City: Vaporware Projects with No Verified Land Ownership

Investigators say two “eco-village city” projects being marketed in South Lombok—Nesara Bay City and Gesara Bay City—lack verified land ownership and show no confirmed permits or independent audit. The developments, promoted by Jamie McIntyre, are sold to international investors based largely on aspirational renderings, with a promised completion date of 2031. Local property registry searches reportedly show no records of McIntyre or his companies owning the land. A separate co-promoter, Dave Oneegs, has publicly promoted the projects to more than 96,000 followers. The reporting raises unanswered questions, including how a company that previously struggled with a 70-unit Bali villa project could deliver two master-planned coastal mini-cities.
