Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty recently hosted the 2026 CALA Leaders’ Summit, welcoming over twenty-five regional leaders from across thirteen Caribbean and Latin American countries for a three-day gathering focused on collaboration, market insights, and the future of luxury real estate.


The summit, held from May 12–14, brought together affiliate leaders and executives from the Sotheby’s International Realty network for a series of working sessions, presentations, and on-island experiences designed to foster meaningful dialogue and strengthen regional relationships.


The event opened with a sunset catamaran cruise along Grace Bay, offering guests a relaxed setting to connect ahead of the formal sessions. Over the following days, attendees gathered at TCSIR’s EPIC Theatre at Venture House in Grace Bay for a curated program that included global brand updates, regional overviews, affiliate presentations, and a collaborative case study session led by Sotheby’s International Realty’s CALA leadership team.


Highlights of the agenda was a presentation by Mark Durliat, CEO and Co-Founder of Grace Bay Resorts, who shared insights into the evolving landscape of luxury developments in Turks and Caicos, followed by guided tours of key new developments across the island including The Strand Turks and Caicos located in Cooper Jack and South Bank Turks and Caicos located in Long Bay.


The program also featured an AI-focused workshop, highlighting the network’s continued emphasis on innovation and evolving strategies within the luxury real estate industry. The summit concluded with closing remarks from Tammy Fahmi, SVP Global Servicing & Strategy at Sotheby’s International Realty, who thanked Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty for hosting the 2026 CALA Leaders’ Summit and acknowledged the team’s efforts in delivering a thoughtful and memorable experience for attendees.

Commenting on the Summit, Joe Zahm, President of Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty stated, “Hosting our CALA partners here in Turks and Caicos provided an awesome opportunity to showcase not only our market, but the strength of collaboration across a growing and dynamic region. Bringing everyone together in our EPIC Theatre allowed for meaningful conversations, knowledge sharing, and a deeper connection to what makes Turks and Caicos and the Caribbean region so special. The summit also created a valuable opportunity for training and collaboration with the TCSIR team, focused on elevating the next generation of real estate leaders, promoting the future of island luxury, and cultivating lasting regional relationships.”

Theo Vassiliou, Head of Region, CALA, Sotheby’s International Realty, added, “The CALA Leaders’ Summit continues to be a valuable platform for our affiliates to exchange ideas and align on the future of the brand across the region. Hosting this year’s summit in Turks and Caicos provided the perfect backdrop to combine strategic discussions with real insight into one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic luxury markets and highlights its growing importance within the global Sotheby’s International Realty network and its appeal as both a lifestyle destination and investment market.”

May 2026 Construction Update: The Point by Grace Bay Resorts Continues to Rise

Beachfront Condominiums

The Point by Grace Bay Resorts has reached an exciting and critical stage of the development as they prepare to pour the 4th level, which you may recall is where the two towers connect in the center, and will form the breezeway below, which is an important step forward in bringing the beachfront structure together as one.

Inside, the first floor is beginning to take shape, with internal fit out including stud walls, plumbing, electrical and air conditioning now underway. Window installations have also begun at the West Building. The oceanfront restaurant structure has also moved forward, with the concrete roof poured. For those who will be visiting the site, they remind us that these basement and beachfront structures are designed as green roofs, with views elegantly framed for all residences in the building.

Pool Lofts

Preparatory works for the upper parking garage level are now underway, positioning us well to achieve the Pool Loft slab milestones scheduled for later this year.

The Casitas

14 of the 16 Casitas units are now out of the ground with floor slabs poured and most of the ring beam with flat roof sections poured and roof framing now already underway making a significant achievement.

Public Areas

The design team is putting the finishing touches on the spa and reception areas. They aim to break ground on this key element in the coming months. At the same time, design development continues for the fitness center, racquet sports facilities, and kids’ club.

Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing further progress with you in the coming months.

Chris Emerson, CEO of The Loren Hotel Group, provided meaningful dialogue around the project’s concept, design, and long-term outlook.

Turks and Caicos Islands – April 30th, 2026 – Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty (TCSIR) recently hosted an exclusive evening at The Loren at Turtle Cove, welcoming members of the Turks & Caicos Real Estate Association (TCREA), alongside specially invited guests from across the island’s professional community, including representatives from local banks, law firms, media, and other industry partners.


Held on April 30th, the event was designed to provide guests with a unique opportunity to meet the visionaries behind The Loren at Turtle Cove and gain first-hand insight into the thinking and direction shaping the development.

The evening began with guided tours of the site, led by TCSIR agents, who shared an overview of the project’s layout, design approach, and distinctive positioning within the market. This allowed guests to experience the development in context, ahead of further stages of construction.


Following the tours, guests gathered at CAMP at The Loren, where Graham Canham, Global Real Estate Advisor at TCSIR, delivered opening remarks speaking to the significance of the project and its place within the evolving Turks & Caicos real estate landscape. Remarks were also delivered by a representative of The Loren, offering additional perspective on the brand and its vision for the development.


A highlight of the evening was the opportunity for guests to engage directly with The Loren team, including Chris Emerson, CEO of The Loren Hotel Group, fostering meaningful dialogue around the project’s concept, design, and long-term outlook.


Commenting on the event, Joe Zahm, President of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, stated: “Bringing people together to meet the visionaries behind The Loren was an important part of this event. It’s one thing to hear about a development but having the opportunity to connect directly with those shaping it, and to experience the site firsthand, provides a much deeper understanding of what is being created here at Turtle Cove.”

The event marked an important step in the continued positioning of The Loren at Turtle Cove, as TCSIR leads sales and marketing for the development, engaging both the local community and international audience.

Turks and Caicos Real Estate – 1st Quarter 2026 YTD Comparison Market Report

Turks and Caicos Real Estate:

The Window is Open: The Broadest Selection of Condos, Residences & Land We’ve Seen

We were recently reminded of a memorable meeting in 2021 during heady times, when a billionaire client stated: “This won’t last, you all think you’re rock stars but you’re not!”.

Today, we stand on the flip side of that moment, as we navigate a challenging market where luxury supply (especially regarding Single Family Homes) exceeds demand. Five years ago, luxury buyers, motivated by growing balance sheets and seeking shelter from the Pandemic, went on an historic, luxury real estate spending spree and it created a perfect storm where we had the ideal ingredients of ease of access and use, newer luxury property inventory and safety to capitalize.

As travel and lifestyles evolve, nearly the opposite applies, as homeowners, many of whom are using their homes less than anticipated, have decided to sell with significant profits targeted. Of course, there are other obvious geopolitical reasons for slackening demand and investors often desire calmer waters and clearer skies to purchase.

So, we are clearly in the zone of a buyers’ market. Even at the far reaches of the upper end, except we don’t have that many buyer friendly prices out there (with a few exceptions), as developer costs often exceed budget, and sellers, who don’t need to sell, seem to be ok waiting for their desired pricing.

The good news is that buyers have never had a better selection from which to choose, whether it be condominiums, managed and standalone homes, or select land parcels. Further positive news is the $469M in Pending (contracted) deals – mostly next gen condos led by The Point by Grace Bay Resorts, Arc at South Bank, The St. Regis, Kempinski Grace Bay, The Loren at Turtle Cove and Hyatt Andaz. Excitingly, Hyatt Andaz and Arc are both slated to open this year, and we are thrilled to have recently launched The View at Grace Bay and The Loren at Turtle Cove. You’ll soon be hearing more on these new projects.

It is worth noting that our first quarters have become increasingly quiet in recent years, as visitors and potential purchasers perform their due diligence for purchases later in the year. Travel is robust and our activity is up from last year, and we anticipate an uplifting Q2 and balance of the year as we normalize and work on closing the pricing gap between our sellers and buyers.

As we trend upward, we look forward to reporting more positive news to you in our 2nd Quarter Report. We close with a quote from a bona fide Rock Star:

” …Until then, I’m gonna find my way.” Bruce Springsteen, Lonesome Day

Happy Spring 2026 !
