We are pleased to announce ROCK HOUSE has broken ground and construction has commenced on the majestic 14-acre waterfront site with the official Groundbreaking Event taking place last weekend.
Government officials and the community showed up to support Grace Bay Resorts and watched as CEO & Developer Mark Durliat gave a heartfelt speech to his faithful hospitality team, many of whom have worked with Grace Bay Resorts for decades.
ROCK HOUSE is the latest development from acclaimed Grace Bay Resorts. Unlike any resort seen before in the Turks & Caicos, this unique development and residential vision is located on the north coast of Providenciales, with 600 feet of frontage and peaks soaring 95 feet above sea level.
Taking inspiration from the allure and sophistication of European hotels along the Mediterranean coast, South of France and remote isle of Capri, ROCK HOUSE has committed the same detailed attention to its method of construction, as it has to the design phase of its refined resort experience. Ensuring native trees, shrubs, orchids and succulents will be incorporated into the completed resort by preserving indigenous vegetation that has occupied the lush and varied landscape for hundreds of years.
“Reusing these natural materials and landscape from this historic site remains true to the Rock House spirit. We seek to ensure a very low environmental impact, with deep sustainability and a sense that this special resort property has been here for years.” – Mark Durliat, CEO & Developer, Grace Bay Resorts.

THE BIGHT HOTEL An elevated, chic, design-forward boutique hotel concept focusing on authentic experiences and lifestyle

Posted on by
Reply

The Bight Hotel and resort property aims to, authentically and efficiently, bring more of what is loved about the Turks & Caicos Islands…while leaving behind the price tags, maintenance and unused space.

The Bight Hotel, with 66 units / 89 keys, centering around the highly adaptable King Suite Studio, fulfills a long-standing gap in the Turks & Caicos real estate market for a desirable yet affordable four-star resort property. Add in elevated ocean views from its 7 acre property (just southwest of Wymara) and simple beach access to 1,000 feet of pristine beach and you’re on to a winner.
EA Group, a well-known and established TCI group of hospitality and property-focused companies, are the force behind the conception of this desirable product. Ryan Jones, Director of EA Group stated, “We designed The Bight Hotel to be authentic, experiential, and hip with the primary objective that it be a great investment opportunity. We wanted to eliminate excess, like enormous wrap around porches, indoor dining rooms and massive kitchens, that owners rarely use, and prioritize more of the things modern buyers and vacationers want, like fitness facilities, farm-to-table food and gardens, stunning views, access to tons of Grace Bay Beach, and authentic island experiences. We recognize owners are going to use the property three or four weeks of the year so to make sense it principally has to be a fantastic investment.”
The resort’s refreshing simplicity centers around the brilliantly designed King Studio. ” The studio design has wonderful optionality with something for everyone.” remarks Joe Zahm, President/Broker of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, “You could have a queen bed with a bunk bed in the space, or two twin beds to accommodate your teenagers, or you may want to connect the studio unit to another to create a double unit, or a three bed penthouse…the emphasis is on ease of use, rentability, and optimal sleeping capacity. There is currently nothing on market like it – plus it’s just cool!”
EA Group chose Simon Woods Architects to design the highly amenitized resort and innovative floor plans, which include custom designed interiors and furniture such as signature daybeds and bonket seating bedded into seamless floor to ceiling glass walls.

Each and every unit provides smashing views of Provo’s north shore towards Northwest Point, with the first level raised approximately 50 feet to take advantage of endless ocean views over the preserved botanical and meditative garden of the Bight National Park. The Bight Hotel will offer an on site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, swimming pool, bar, cross fit gym, spa, kid’s club, farm, rum distillery, coffee shop and barn to host special events and weekly movie nights.

Introductory pricing ranges from $377,000 to $1.7M providing a welcome option for investors, couples, and families seeking an attractive price point, access to the Turks & Caicos market, or simply a more authentic and experiential property

South Bank on Long Bay Beach Where your haven is home

Posted on by
Reply

South Bank is a rare and welcoming haven: a place where easy-going island living meets beautifully designed homes, against a backdrop of spectacular natural beauty. A place to bring your friends and family for ocean adventures, relaxation and precious time together.

Windward Development Ltd., the developers of South Bank, set expectations last season with their inaugural development, Blue Cay Estate, which was a resounding sellout success met with much acclaim in the residential canal and beachfront section of Leeward. Award winning London and Turks & Caicos based architects, Blee Halligan, designed the contemporary homes at Blue Cay. Together, the team took a 15-acre parcel of raw land with limited ocean frontage, and used their vision for a boat loving community to create a gated canal front community of 15 exclusive contemporary homes with boat docks and 3 beachfront homes on the Leeward Channel. 
Windward Development has beautifully delivered on its promise of a secure and well-managed family development, ideal for water enthusiasts and boaters with the execution of the Blue Cay development, which sold out within a two-year period. Joe Zahm, President and Broker of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, the leading real estate company in the Turks & Caicos Islands, remarked “Blue Cay is a must see for my friends and colleagues. who are blown away by how well the project was conceived, from its understatedly cool, modern architecture, to the use of personal dock space in a canal and beachfront community that emerged from the raw site. Clearly a high level of vision and creativity went into achieving the end product, and we expect even bigger and better things at South Bank”   Windward Development has selected Blee Halligan again for their newest project, South Bank, a 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. The 31-acre site with direct affiliation with The Marina at South Bank, offers versatile home owning opportunities each providing a distinct relationship with the waters surrounding the development. Ivor Stanbrook, one of the development team Directors, commented that one facet of Windward’s unique approach to development is that, “We like to take a piece of property and reshape it in the ideal way to enhance the waterfront experience for our buyers.” 

South Bank promises to be a refreshingly contemporary community with a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Anchored by a full-service Marina, South Bank will be set apart by 6 distinct neighborhoods: The Ocean Estate 1 & 2, The Lagoon 1 & 2, The Launch & The Point. At project completion South Bank will comprise 19 Oceanfront Villas (The Ocean Estate 1 & 2), 18 Lagoon Villas, some of which include private docks (The Lagoon 1 & 2), 38 Boat Houses, most of which enjoy a private deck and boat dock (The Launch), and 16 one to three-bedroom Condominiums (The Point).

At full build out, amenities will include an affiliated Marina with exclusive owner’s boat services, fitness center and spa, tennis court, club house with pool, bar and restaurant, café, lagoon peninsula with lounging cabanas, non-motorized water sports, beach club and Long Bay beach access.
