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.”

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 46 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. Additionally, a la carte club services include in-home spa services, housekeeping, pre-arrival shopping, private chef and catering, airport transportation, landscape maintenance, an artist in residence program and security. 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.
Each of the residences is perched oceanside with direct access to the water below and ocean-facing bedrooms with uninterrupted views. The design-forward residences—in collaboration with RAD Architecture, Inc. and Modus Operandi interior design—are carefully hand-crafted to celebrate the island’s laidback lifestyle. Current residential offerings include:
New three-bedroom Villas have been introduced priced at $3 million. Each villa is capable of renting as three separate lock-off suites – each complete with three oceanfront bedroom suites directly overlooking the ocean with magnificent views. These dramatic villas offer the best in carefree island living while maximizing rental income. Each villa has a private plunge pool, outdoor shower and two-person soaking tub.
Turn-key two-bedroom Villas are designed with lock-off units on separate levels, offering one and two-bedroom layouts. Each exotic villa has its own plunge pool and outdoor shower and soaking tub. An optional rooftop terrace includes an open-air kitchen, bar, and dining space. The Villas have more than 3,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space and are priced at $2.45 million.
Elegant four- and five-bedroom Luxury Residences feature a dramatic two-story great room overlooking the pool and the Caicos Banks. The main house has four oceanfront en-suite bedrooms, a handcrafted infinity pool, and a lush courtyard with outdoor kitchen. Certain lots include a courtyard plunge pool and spa, one-bedroom guest house, and family/flex room. Each residence has a built-in overlook at the iron shore edge and a grotto beach. Luxury Residences start at approximately 8,300 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space and are priced from $6.8 million.
Six-bedroom, seven-bathroom Grand Residences are the largest and most luxurious residences with 14,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space. The main house boasts five oceanfront en-suite bedrooms, including a spectacular second-floor master suite. An expansive great room opens to a formal outdoor terrace and handcrafted infinity pool with endless ocean views. The courtyard features a plunge pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, family/flex room, and one-bedroom guest house. Residences offer a built-in overlook at the shore’s edge and a grotto beach. Owners will be able to fully customize the home and landscaping. There are three Grand Residences priced from $10 million.
Six oceanfront lots are set aside for custom homes. Starting at $3.5 million, each has more than 100 linear feet of Cooper Jack Bay coastline to the front and 100-foot yacht slip in the rear, making these lots—ranging from 0.7 to 1.28 acres—among the most unique offerings in the Caribbean.
We have been quietly busy at The Strand getting ready for groundbreaking. The entitlement process through COVID has been grueling but we are finally at the end of the process and ready to start building. In that light we wanted to update you on the progress:
~ Excavation of the Marina is underway and we will start building the road base for paving Cooper Jack Road within the next week or two. ~ Water and Power has been brought to the site and distributed along Cooper Jack Road and Seaview Drive. All of the transformers have been ordered. ~ Building permits for the Luxury and Grand Residences should be delivered this week with earthwork and construction starting immediately thereafter. ~ Building permits for the Villas A and B buildings, the amenities and infrastructure including the beach creation are expected by the end of the year. ~ We have approximately $50 million under reservation and contract and land sales will be starting within the next week. This is right where we wanted to be for the start of construction, between 20% and 25% pre-sales on a dollar value basis. Now that we are ready to start and have a strong handle on our costs, we will be very aggressive selling through the upcoming season and our current sales activity is the strongest it’s ever been.
Come and visit to see the progress firsthand. We always enjoy showing the property so come on down and have a glass of wine on the sales deck or view the property from the water on The Strand’s Boston Whaler!
Warm regards, John Fair Developer & Managing Director
For all of its challenges, 2021 has seen the South Bank family grow as people choose to call our relaxed and soulful marina community home. As South Bank comes to life with over 50 sales and reservations, we have elected to take the time to focus on construction, ensuring the highest level of service and quality for our owners. To achieve this, we will be pausing sales until the upcoming winter season.

Beachfront – Beach Enclave North Shore – Phase 1 Completed and Phase 2 In Development
It all started with a desire to create a legacy built on a strong foundation, exemplary fundamentals, a strong professional team and an extraordinary location. The developer’s vision was to combine a home environment with the services and amenities of a condominium. Vacation home-owners wanted more than a piece of real estate, they wanted bespoke services and dedicated home management services. The Beach Enclave design ethos with low density and floorplans that seamlessly blend indoor with outdoor living spaces, modern but warm décor combined with fun amenities, maintains its successful path. Since the first launch of Beach Enclave North Shore in January 2014 the developers continue to strive to create new and lasting experiences and dream vacation homes. Now with five phases of development in three amazing locations, it is no wonder that the dreams of many vacation home-owners have come true.
Wanting to appeal to a broader market of home buyers, Beach Enclave developers introduced The Club at Beach Enclave Long Bay with four Beach Houses and a boutique condominium, The Club Residences. Now completely sold out with the Beach Houses nearing completion and The Club Residences due to start construction imminently the developers have cleared ground for the Phase 2 of Beach Enclave North Shore. Utilizing the same architect as The Club at Long Bay, the developer has taken a dramatic beachfront location and carved into the limestone shelf to seamlessly connect the Beach Houses to the surrounds. The exposed limestone functions as a design feature and acts as natural barrier offering privacy between the homes. The expanded resort amenities on this North Shore location include an elevated oceanfront Club Lounge with an indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant, lounge decks enhanced with water and fire features, an upgraded oceanfront Fitness Center and Yoga Deck, a lighted tennis court, kids club, and a one-of-a-kind luxurious Enclave Gardens, teeming with Caribbean fruit trees, all for the exclusive use of owners and guests.
We wanted to share with you the various milestones achieved by Beach Enclave in the making of the brand. We welcome you to BE a part of this incredible journey.
Although many of us would expect Covid 19 to trigger a reduction in second home demand, nothing could be further from the truth on the Caribbean Island of Turks & Caicos. The Sotheby’s Turks & Caicos office reportedly closed $70M in sales during the month of June. Some speculate that the high sales are the result of the reduced stamp duty on the islands, but is there something more significant driving these high sales volumes?

Phase 2 Beach Enclave Long Bay
Vasco Borges, Developer and Founder of the Beach Enclave brand, is proud to announce the highly anticipated Phase 2 of Beach Enclave North Shore, which expands upon the original, award winning Beach Enclave boutique private villa resort.
Phase 2 offers ten tropical minimalist two to four-bedroom homes, sitting atop a magnificent, beachfront, elevated perch, with one of Providenciales’ most jaw dropping views of the north shore and the reef barrier, providing the perfect combination of elevated views and access to a virtually private beach.
“The homes are built to take full advantage of the topography. The first story of the Beach Houses are carved into the limestone shelf, seamlessly connecting them to the surrounds. Entry to the home is provided from the second level, so you have ocean views from 47′ of elevation in your master bedroom. The exposed limestone functions as a design feature, and acts as a natural barrier offering privacy between homes. The Ridge Top Houses set behind the Beach Houses, take full advantage of the position on the top of the ridge with 60′ of elevation from the first story and 70′ from the second.” – Vasco Borges, Developer, Beach Enclave.
With 35′ of elevation the Beach Houses range in size from 2,885 gross sq. ft. for the two bedroom to 4,080 gross sq. ft. for the three bedroom. Prices for the Beach Houses start at $1,895,000.
The Ridge Top Houses are superbly positioned to protect ocean views and privacy and range in size from 2,918 gross sq. ft. for a two bedroom to 4,817 gross sq. ft. for a four bedroom. Prices for the Ridge Top Houses start at $1,650,000.
“We are thrilled to be launching Beach Enclave North Shore Phase 2. Yet another amazing project with Vasco Borges and his team. On the heels of great success in Phase 1 next door, and a building reputation with two further locations in nearly sold out Long Bay, and sold out and soon to be complete Grace Bay, the phase 2 homes open the acclaimed BE Villa enclave concept to a wider and highly interested audience.” – Joe Zahm, Broker and President, Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty.
A menu of pre-designed options is available.
The expanded resort amenities include an elevated oceanfront Club Lounge with an indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant, lounge decks enhanced with water and fire features; an upgraded oceanfront Fitness Center and Yoga Deck; a lighted tennis court; kids club; and a one-of-a-kind luxurious Enclave Gardens, teeming with Caribbean fruit trees, all for the exclusive use of owners and guests.
As real estate elsewhere has dropped, the Caribbean nation has seen records broken despite the global pandemic, according to Mauricio Umansky, founder and CEO of real estate firm The Agency.
“We have definitely seen some extraordinary prices,” he told FOX Business.
South Bank is a low density 31-acre residential resort and marina community along 2,200 ft of beach and iron shore including a unique peninsula located on the southwestern end of Long Bay beach, offering some of the finest views over the Caicos Banks.
Sales volume of single-family homes in Turks and Caicos during the first quarter of 2020 outpaced the same period of 2019, and condo sales outpaced the two previous years to date, according to a Sotheby’s International Realty report.
Turks and Caicos is conveniently close to the U.S. and boasts some of the world’s best beaches, according to Umansky. The country also uses the U.S. dollar and has no property, income or capital gains taxes. The real estate market was already seeing big growth there last year, and it benefited from publicity around the sales of luxury homes that had belonged to Prince and Bruce Willis.
Wealthy Americans looking to vacation in Turks and Caicos were more likely to rent before the pandemic, so they could spend a summer there and then jet off to another luxury locale the next year, according to Umansky. But he said the pandemic has made the rich realize they want to own a second home outside crowded cities so they have someplace comfortable to stay in the event of a similar event.
“So there’s a big trend, they want to have a place to sequester and to have that second home if this happens again, and to have a home where the whole family can go, not just a little apartment that they don’t all fit in,” he said.
Turks and Caicos officials did close its borders in March as a result of the pandemic. The country has remained relatively unscathed by COVID-19, with just 12 cases and one death among the popular of 39,000 people, according to the World Health Organization. As of June 15, officials said there were no active cases of the illness in the country.
Beach Enclave’s newest boutique resort offering – the first true luxury boutique resort in TCI.
The Turks and Caicos government also incentivized real estate purchases during the pandemic by offering a 50 percent cut in stamp duty, waiving custom duties on construction materials and cutting planning fees by half, the Caribbean Journal reported.
Now the border is set to reopen on July 22 when Providenciales Airport reopens. The Grand Turk Cruise Center is also scheduled to reopen on Aug. 31.
With real estate outpacing the market in 2019 even during the pandemic, Umansky said he’s expecting even more growth once visitors can return.
“It’s back on and we’re selling,” he said. “It’s pretty incredible.”
Of course, Turks and Caicos isn’t the only vacation spot to see a boost in interest among wealthy homebuyers amid the pandemic. The Bahamas have also seen a “very solid rise in their real estate sales,” according to Umansky. He also spoke to FOX Business about the rise in popularity of ski towns like Aspen, Colorado and Park City, Utah as year-round getaways. And a run on vacation homes in traditional escapes for the rich and famous like the Hamptons has been well-documented.
Real estate in general is also recovering and getting closer to catching up with last year’s pre-coronavirus market, Umansky said.
“That gap is narrowing on a daily basis,” he said.
