Building Sustainability from the Ground Up: The Strand

Sustainability delivers the greatest impact when it is embedded into a project from the very beginningโ€”not added later as a feature or marketing tool. In hospitality and residential development, early integration allows architecture, infrastructure, energy systems, and operations to work together seamlessly, creating more efficient, resilient, and valuable properties.

“At The Strand, handcrafted wood pergolas were incorporated into the architecture to provide shade for the bedrooms and living spaces. Because this decision was made early, shading became part of the architectural identity rather than an external structure added for comfort. Flow-through ventilation was also designed into every room, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling and reinforcing passive climate control strategies”, said John Fair, the visionary developer behind The Strand Turks & Caicos.

The Loren at Turtle Cove delivers the rare privilege where private marina living meets beachfront luxury lifestyle

The Loren At Turtle Cove

In Turks and Caicos, waterfront living is often defined by what lies beyond your doorstep – powder-soft beaches, turquoise waters, and endless ocean views. At The Loren Residences at Turtle Cove, however, the connection to the water runs even deeper.

The Loren At Turtle Cove


Situated within one of Providenciales’ most established waterfront communities, The Loren at Turtle Cove is uniquely positioned to offer owners direct access to a lifestyle shaped by boating, beachfront, adventure, and the sea. From early morning departures for a day of fishing to leisurely afternoons exploring the hidden cays and reefs of the North Shore, the marina becomes more than an amenity, it becomes part of everyday life.

The Loren At Turtle Cove Lifestyle


The private marina will accommodate vessels ranging from 30 to 130 feet, creating an environment designed for those who view the water not simply as a backdrop, but as a way of life. Whether arriving by boat after a day on the Caicos Banks, setting off for world-class diving, or welcoming friends for a sunset cruise, owners will enjoy a seamless connection between residence and ocean.


Beyond the marina lies one of the most remarkable marine environments in the Caribbean. The North Shore of Providenciales is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, secluded beaches, and exceptional fishing grounds. Some of the islands’ most memorable experiences are found just offshore – accessible within minutes from Turtle Cove.

The Loren At Turtle Cove Marina


This relationship with the sea has long been part of the area’s identity. For decades, Turtle Cove has served as a gathering place for boaters, anglers, divers, and ocean enthusiasts. The Loren builds upon that legacy, introducing a new level of luxury while remaining connected to the character and culture that have made the community so beloved.


Ownership at The Loren extends beyond the residences themselves. It is about belonging to a community where days are shaped by the rhythm of the water and where experiences often begin with stepping aboard a boat. Future residents will enjoy access to thoughtfully curated services, hospitality-driven amenities, and a lifestyle inspired by the sea.


As The Loren writes the next chapter for this iconic waterfront destination, the marina remains at the heart of the vision – a place where adventure begins, where neighbours gather, and where owners can fully embrace the unique lifestyle that has drawn people to Turtle Cove for generations.

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 kidsโ€™ 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.

Turks & Caicos Sothebyโ€™s International Realty Hosts โ€œMeet the Visionariesโ€ Event at The Loren at Turtle Cove

Turks and Caicos Islands โ€“ April 30th, 2026 – Turks & Caicos Sothebyโ€™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 islandโ€™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 projectโ€™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 projectโ€™s concept, design, and long-term outlook.


Commenting on the event, Joe Zahm, President of Turks & Caicos Sothebyโ€™s International Realty, stated: โ€œBringing people together to meet the visionaries behind The Loren was an important part of this event. Itโ€™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.โ€

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.
