St Kitts Bags Exclusive Resort Developments

Sunshine isle St Kitts is bucking the global economic trend and ploughing millions of dollars in to hotel and tourism projects to boost prospects for Caribbean real estate investors.Prime Minister Denzil Douglas has said he wants to ensure that his government will work to grow the island’s economy.

He told a meeting on the island that St Kitts continued to be a ‘preferred place for investment’ despite tourism projects going in to mothballs in Anguilla, St Lucia and Grenada.In particular, two of the three projects he cited were the Silver Reef Resort at Frigate Bay, and the Christophe Harbour development, where earthworks for a new cliff top Tom Fazio golf course are taking shape.

Silver Reef Resort, Frigates Bay on St Kitts is a $30 million project that involves the construction of 54 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and 8 duplex villas, two swimming pools and a 12,000 square foot commercial area to house restaurants, shops and a bank.
