The landscape of Cooper Jack Bay is changing in the most exciting way. The once rugged road is now a beautiful drive with picturesque views on both sides leading to the most stunning development, The Strand Turks & Caicos.
Surrounded by the unencumbered beauty of both Cooper Jack Bay and The Caicos Banks, The Strand developers indeed chose the ideal setting for its luxury residential resort community. The reserved and untouched tip of Cooper Jack Bay is transforming with some incredible luxury residences, villas and custom homesites. Taking a prominent place on the edge of the bay, a series of oceanfront homes are well on their way to completion. The determination and hard work of the developer’s construction and project team at The Strand and the dedication of the Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty sales team are apparent, for everyone has been working diligently since the development broke ground on the 25th of March 2022.
On Thursday the 22nd of June 2023, Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty (TCSIR) held an exclusive site visit where TCREA agents, Government ministers, attorneys and a few selected key members of the community came together to see the steady progress of The Strand.
Touring the nearly completed Luxury Residence R3, the invited guests had a personal viewing of this magnificent villa and its views. From the completed private courtyard, the elegant two-story home directly on the ocean features a dramatic view of the turquoise water, creating the perfect backdrop for such astonishing architecture. The pool and the Caicos Banks merge seamlessly and are framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. The luxury residence is light, airy, and spacious. All four en-suite bedrooms in the main house have spectacular views of the ocean. The fifth bedroom guest house has direct access to the private courtyard. Awaiting just a few final details, John Fair and The Strand’s team are excited to see a completed luxury residence very soon.
The Strand Turks & Caicos promised a private residential resort community unlike any other, where the essence is an owner centric experience and that is exactly what is being delivered. The high-end oceanfront residential resort will also offer onsite amenities, including a Clubhouse with state-of-the-art gym and yoga deck, use of beach access, an oceanfront restaurant, and several non-motorized watersport activities. But that’s not all. There will be a private marina to be independent from The Strand, but it will operate as a central amenity for the homeowners, offering approximately 23 slips for boats ranging between 40 – 60 feet. The Strand is giving a new height to Copper Jack Bay and all nearby areas. Honorable Samuel E Been, Member of Parliament for the Constituency of ED7 and Honorable Sean Malcolm, Minister of Health and Human Services displayed elevated enthusiasm with the work that has been done so far. “Developments like The Strand are benefiting to the whole nation”, added Hon. Been.
The trajectory timeline for The Strand is steady and on track as follows:
Winter 2023/24: Beach Club & Pool, Restaurant & Bar, Tennis & Marina
Spring/Summer 2024: Reception & Villa A Building
Late Summer 2024: Villa Building B
Summer 2025: Villa Building C
Richard Sankar, Associate Broker and Director of TCSIR is excited to see the project taking shape so quickly. “Building A is already up to the 3rd floor and the views overlooking Cooper Jack Bay are magnificent from that upper level.” Richard explained. “Building B is up to the 2nd story, and construction as started site preparation on Building C,” he added.
The project is taking shape and at a point where the velocity of sales is increasing, and the developer will be increasing prices again soon. The Strand continues to work towards a completed project by 2025 and the Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty team is pleased to remain a trusted partner throughout this journey.
Richard Sankar and John Fair escorted the invited guests to the sales office, located between building B and C for refreshments, where they spent the rest of the evening on the deck. This was the perfect way to end the event.

The much-anticipated Z-ONE Residences, which comprises of two buildings in the heart of Grace Bay have been on everyone’s radar from the very beginning.

Tamir Zeevi stated, “I am proud of the completed residences, and I am looking forward to the next step.” He is expected to develop yet another phase where he will focus on providing more studio and 3-bedrooms options.

Supply and Demand Considerations in Turks and Caicos Islands
The inextricably linked tourism and real estate businesses in the Turks and Caicos Islands are, naturally, predicated upon the simple principle of supply and demand, and we are enjoying tremendous economic success due to our strong fundamentals with regards to these two vital drivers.
On the supply side, we have an amazing array of existing hospitality inventory and property – from hotels, condominiums, managed and stand-alone villas – that have proved to be among the best-in-show throughout the Caribbean for high-end tourism, drawing in high quality visitors. Further, our inventory pipeline is strong, as developers conceive and build luxury properties, which will continue to satisfy tourism and real estate demand for renting and non-renting owners alike. Because our market is more dependent on New Development than more mature markets, and further dependent on individually owned condominiums and villas, New development buyers, who often buy off-plan and before a shovel is in the ground, are essential participants in our market’s growth. For example, in the New Development sector, at projects such as Beach Enclave, South Bank and The Strand, construction of an individual villa commences once purchasers have signed land purchase and construction agreements. In the condominium sector, developers commit to building once a prerequisite number of units are pre–sold. In this regard, we are highly dependent on pre–construction purchasers to “co-invest” with our developers in order to fuel new projects. Presently, as we navigate the low existing re-sale inventory market, we look towards the future with a plethora of great projects in the pipeline, led by The Point By Grace Bay Resorts, ARC at South Bank, The Strand, St. Regis and others. These new projects create welcome for-sale inventory into the market, to supplement our constricted, existing re-sale inventory.
Our first quarter numbers reflect the importance of this new development inventory as we close out many recently or soon-to-be-completed villas at South Bank, Beach Enclave and the Strand, with many more to follow this year. A quick drive around to these three projects illustrates how New Development matures into completed tourism, vacation and residential real estate. It is always thrilling to see what Steven Covey calls the “first creation” born of the imagination (the plans) transition to “the second creation”, born of will (the physical projects) and then even to the “third creation” (the hospitality operation). The process never gets old and provides continual blood flow into our market. A recent headline amplified how the Caribbean and especially Turks and Caicos has been a big winner in tourism, and this is primarily because we have such great supply and demand fundamentals.
At Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, we are grateful for our role in all aspects of the supply and demand cycle, together with our partners and many stakeholders in the process made up of our developer, investor, hospitality, architect, legal, engineering, construction, design, broker, banking and government sector communities…the list goes on. There is nothing more satisfying than being involved from the planning and product launch to project opening and operation – from pre-ribbon cutting to post product grand opening. In so many ways, the New Development forges our identity and continues to elevate Turks and Caicos Islands globally as a sustainable, international luxury brand.
Happy Spring!
