The project was rebirthed in 2016, when Peter van Lieshout made shareholder agreements with Sovereignty Activists controlling a failed neighbouring venture, Bhula Bhula Village Community, that left purchase money creditors disenfranchised. 

In collaboration with Peter van Lieshaupt, the Sovereignty Activists began advertising residential lots on the adjoining land with Tyler Tolman, son of American health celebrity, Don Tolman.
