The Strand Turks & Caicos Construction Update – September 2022

The Luxury Residences are steadily changing the landscape of Cooper Jack Bay as the video provided below shows all of the exciting work that has been accomplished thus far.

Luxury R3 has all windows and doors installed, as well as all plumbing and electrical above ceilings, while Luxury R2’s ground floor slab is poured and walls are forming. Meanwhile, Luxury R7’s main pool base and walls are poured, and the main house ground floor slab will be poured this week. Luxury R1 has its retaining wall in place and work has begun to prefabricate the main house columns.

As for The Villas, Villa ‘A’ Building retaining walls are forming. The pools have been excavated and they will be prepping to pour the ground floor. At the same time, they are building out The Strand kitchen and restaurant area. The first of its kind in Provo, the kitchen will have a living green roof that will blend in with the native vegetation above. But they didn’t stop there—the dining experience at The Strand will also be a first-of-its-kind, with the dining tables on the iron shore edge overlooking a sugar sand beach and the Caicos Banks beyond.

Villa ‘B’ Building is set to start, at which time construction of the Main Pool area will begin. A combination of Old World-inspired stone walls, lush greenery, and your own loungers tucked into the limestone will give you the feeling that you have found your own Caribbean sanctuary.

With three of the custom lots reserved for Grand Residences they are beginning to extend utilities to the East of the development in preparation for these unique properties. The Main Parking retaining walls along Cooper Jack Road are up, and the retaining walls around the Clubhouse entry are being formed.

The Strand Turks & Caicos Construction Update – July 2022

A lot has happened at The Strand in Cooper Jack Bay since the ceremonial Groundbreaking on March 25th, 2022.  We recently published a video in social media (https://www.instagram.com/p/CfhEpytqBY5/) revealing that Cooper Jack Bay Road is now entirely paved.  Road paving, as we witnessed in Turtle Tail (paved in 2016), is pivotal to increases in land and property values, with the most recent oceanfront land and oceanfront villa sales garnering a 30+% increase as compared to sale prices of recent years. The completion of Cooper Jack Bay Road was spearheaded by the Developers of The Strand, an ultra-luxury development which will bring tremendous added value to the surrounding neighborhood of Cooper Jack.   

The Strand Luxury Residences

As for the construction updates at The Strand, Luxury Residence R3 is now at roof level with doors and windows being installed and Luxury Residences R2 and R7 are beginning the foundation stage.  Of the six Luxury Residences, R8 is reserved leaving only one residence remaining available, R9 priced from $8.95M.  There are three Grand Residences available priced from $10.5M. The Villas – Building A, is almost fully sold out and will begin construction imminently. The Villas are priced from $2.495M for a 2-bedroom and $3.1M for a 3-bedroom. Other construction milestones will be in the works in the coming months, including the reception building and resort beachfront area.  We are excited about construction progress and sales momentum as we look forward to the future of The Strand and the quality lifestyle it will provide.

Our sales agents joined the development team at The Strand site yesterday to get a close up look on the incredible progress of Luxury Residence R3.

Residences and Villas will have stunning views of Cooper Jack Bay.

An exclusive, sophisticated hideaway in a relaxed coastal setting, The Strand is the first of its kind on the Island with a limited collection of luxury beachfront villas, custom residences, and homesites, alongside access to vibrant community programming and full resort amenities and services. The Beach Club flows into the centerpiece resort-style swimming pool, surrounded by native limestone, and the dramatic water’s edge restaurant and bar. Amenities include access to The Strand’s own Club Boats with a private captain, catamarans, kayaks, and paddleboards, as well as a tennis court, two pickle ball courts, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with a secluded yoga deck.

The Strand, Turks and Caicos, Begins Construction Following Strong Sales Launch

The Strand, Cooper Jack Bay – The Villa Pool Deck View

February 3.2022 – Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands

The Strand, Turks and Caicos, an exclusive residential resort community located on 2,230 feet of pristine shore frontage on Cooper Jack Bay, today announced the start of construction. Following the announcement of the new development in late 2020 and a very successful sales launch in 2021, the developers have received all permits and approvals and are underway building out single-family homes and several community amenities, including the marina and Beach Club. The project is expected to be complete by 2025.

With over $45 million in reservations and contracts to date, The Strand has seen incredible demand and is poised to sell half of its inventory by the end of spring 2022, positioning the property to become the premier private community in the Caribbean. Interest has been especially strong from young families who are looking for a second home in a safe and accessible destination with full-service amenities and five-star service. With rich airlift and a low tax environment, Turks and Caicos is an ideal choice for those seeking a second home island paradise.

With such strong demand coming from owners with young families, The Strand has also pivoted its residential design concepts to introduce three-bedroom managed villas, appealing to the needs of today’s buyers striving for flexibility and relaxed, resort-style living for their families. Priced at $3 million and situated directly on the water, these three-bedroom residences also increase rental opportunities for owners, solidifying The Strand as one of the best villa rental accommodations on the Island.

“The Caribbean, and Turks and Caicos in particular, now more than ever is seeing an influx of interest from a younger demographic, who are craving a special legacy home that can be passed down through generations,” said John Fair, managing director of The Strand. “The Strand is appealing to these active families due to the collection of shared sport and socializing amenities, such as access to the Beach and Racquet Club, a concept which does not currently exist in Turks and Caicos, and further creates opportunity for connectivity among owners and guests.”

In addition to the beachfront setting, the site offers 1,400 feet of canal and marina frontage, with a full marina and slips for owners, as well as several community yachts slips.

Conveniently located on an undeveloped, unspoiled stretch of coastline on the protected south side of Providenciales, The Strand is built from the ground up in the most sustainable way possible. In partnership with Renu Energy TCI, a local leader in solar home integration, The Strand offers solar packages on all its villas, making this development one of the first ultra-luxury community with this level of sustainability in the Caribbean.
