Momentum continues for Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty as the team recently put on their hard hats to guide an exclusive private tour for TCREA agents as well as South Bank Resort existing owners and guests of the iconic Arc Penthouse at South Bank.
On December 18, Nina Siegethenthaler, Joe Zahm, and Shanice Smith of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty hosted a guided tour of this extraordinary residence, offering agents and guests an inside look at one of the most significant penthouse offerings in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The tour highlighted the architectural vision, scale, and refined design that make the Arc Penthouse a true landmark within the South Bank resort community.
Rising 71 feet above sea level, the ARC Penthouse spans an impressive 12,630 total square feet, including 9,160 square feet of covered living space. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to reflect elevated coastal living, blending modern sophistication with the natural beauty of its surroundings. From expansive interiors to breathtaking vantage points, the penthouse stands as a defining feature of the South Bank development.
Events like this private tour underscore the continued momentum and excitement surrounding South Bank and the Penthouse, as interest remains strong and availability increasingly limited.
For those wishing to learn more about South Bank or to inquire about the remaining opportunities at the Arc Sky Villas, we invite you to contact our office or connect directly with the listing agents for further details.

Some homes have great views and others have a great address. The Palmer has both—and then some. A brand-new 2025 build tucked inside the Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club, this four-bedroom home puts you at the center of everything. Grace Bay Beach is just across the street. Local favorites like Rickie’s Flamingo Café and Opus Wine Bar are a short walk away. The setting is peaceful and private, but the best of the island is always within reach.
“As a location, it’s unbeatable,” says developer Jason Blake. “You’ve got Grace Bay right there, restaurants close by, and the security and value that come with a golf-course community.”
Built Smarter. Built for the Islands.
The Palmer makes a striking first impression within the quiet golf club community: modern lines, elegant landscaping and breezy outdoor spaces. But the real magic is in the details.
Developer Jason Blake spent 37 years in hospitality before turning to luxury homebuilding. That experience shaped every decision here. “We built this home around how people actually want to live and gather,” he says.
The home is fully insulated—a rarity in this tropical region—which keeps energy bills low. Its orientation reduces heat gain, and solar technology powers the plunge pool. “We turned it on six months ago, and it hasn’t stopped,” Jason says. “It’s like a D-cell battery pool.”
The main saltwater lap pool is just as smart. “People think saltwater means briny water—but it’s not,” he explains. “The salt converts to chlorine and back again. It’s cleaner, easier and more efficient.”
Energy efficiency extends throughout the property, with an ultra-efficient AC system that minimizes power use while maintaining consistent cooling. Clerestory windows—a hallmark of modern design—fill the bedrooms with natural light without forgoing privacy, while intentional high ceilings help to keep rooms cool.
Outside, the landscaping is intentionally low-maintenance, featuring native plants and astroturf for minimal upkeep. A private cistern system irrigates the trees, ensuring sustainability and self-sufficiency even through dry seasons.
And because island life is meant to be shared, The Palmer was designed for entertaining. The outdoor kitchen and screened dining porch make hosting effortless. The pool terrace is ideal for sunset gatherings. Inside, the layout flows naturally from one space to the next—perfect for dinners with friends, relaxed weekends with family or cocktail parties under the stars.
The property is also fully fenced for privacy and security—ideal for pet owners—and includes a discreetly positioned golf hitting net at the rear of the home for practicing your swing. A two-car garage ensures your vehicle will stay cool and out of the sun, while a propane tank (supporting both the kitchen stove and outdoor BBQ) adds further convenience to this thoughtfully designed residence.
Flexible by Design
The Palmer isn’t just a home—it’s a sound investment opportunity. The fourth bedroom is a self-contained guest suite with its own kitchen, plunge pool, laundry and private entrance. That versatility opens up possibilities for both investors and homeowners.
“It’s a dream for investors,” says listing agent MJ Williams. Owners can rent the main home and guest suite separately, stay in one while renting the other, or keep both for visiting family and friends.
Golf lovers will appreciate the setting even more. Living beside one of the best courses in the Caribbean means you’re never far from the action—whether it’s an early tee time with friends or a sunset stroll within the community. It offers a front-row seat to the island’s most scenic sport, with the golf course becoming part of your everyday environment. Other Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club amenities include tennis, pickleball, #19 Restaurant and Bar and future plans for resort-like amenities at The Cay Club.
Details That Make It Special
The Palmer’s appeal is in the details—and they’re everywhere.
From the slatted fencing that channels island trade winds to the strategic window placementthat fills rooms with soft natural light, every element was designed for comfort in a tropical climate. Every bedroom on the main level also includes its own outdoor shower, giving the option to shower in the warmth of the sunshine, yet with complete privacy.
A showstopping piece of locally sourced driftwood serves as a unique lighting fixture in the kitchen, anchoring the interiors and bringing the essence of Turks and Caicos into the heart of the home.
Outdoors, lemon and papaya trees offer a touch of self-sufficiency, while a series of shaded patios, breezeways and terraces encourage a slower pace of life—the kind that blurs the line between inside and out. And the observation deck, overlooking the pool and golf course beyond, was designed with purpose: a quiet perch for morning coffee or an evening drink as the sun sets over the course.
“Everything was deliberate,” Jason says. “We built this home to reflect how people want to live here—with great AC and modern interiors, but also plenty of outdoor space, privacy and functionality.”
Easy to Love. Hard to Beat.
With four bedrooms, two pools, nearly 4,000 square feet of living space, and one of the best locations on the island, The Palmer checks every box. It’s private but connected. Sophisticated but easy to live in. Practical but deeply luxurious.
Whether you’re searching for a forever home, a flexible investment or a golf enthusiast’s retreat, The Palmer proves you don’t have to compromise. It’s the rare home that delivers on every front—smart, stylish and built for the way people really want to live in Turks and Caicos.

Turks and Caicos Real Estate: Positioning for the Push
Calm on the Surface, Power Beneath the Waves Q3 wasn’t about fireworks—it was about focus. The Turks and Caicos real estate market slipped into its usual summer rhythm this quarter, with overall sales volumes pulling back noticeably from Q2. But the story isn’t about the slowdown. The real story is what’s happening underneath it: serious buyers circling, record-setting deals closing, and momentum quietly building beneath the surface.
The seasonal “Gone Fishing” lull—a blend of travel patterns, global volatility and strategic patience—gave everyone room to breathe. Sellers recalibrated. Developers regrouped. Buyers sharpened their pencils. Whether Q4 delivers the seasonal uptick some anticipate remains to be seen, though the underlying fundamentals suggest the market is positioning for a strong year-end push.
Buyers Have the Edge—For Now For the first time in a while, the tide has shifted. Inventory is rising, and with it comes opportunity. More listings. More choice. More leverage. Pricing is starting to show signs of flexibility, and disciplined buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines are beginning to move.
And this isn’t just filler inventory—we’re talking about best-in-class villas, ultra-luxury beachfront estates, and rare land parcels that haven’t been on the market in years. For buyers who understand timing, this is the window they’ve been waiting for.
New Development, New Momentum While resales paused for breath, the development side of the market kept its foot on the gas. Global brands and visionary architects are reshaping the landscape and raising the bar for luxury in the Caribbean. Standouts include:
• The Point by Grace Bay Resorts (SWA Architects and Young Huh Design) • M-House by Beach Enclave (Blakstad Ibiza Architects) • Arc at South Bank (Piero Lissoni) • Janu by Amanresorts (coming soon) Manual Cervantes • The Reserve at Grace Bay by Beach Enclave (Jacobsen Arquitetura) (coming soon)
And the spotlight is firmly on The Strand, with resort operations and its rental program launching this fall—a defining moment for one of the region’s most ambitious projects.
Big Deals Still Getting Done If you think the summer slowdown means buyers stopped spending, think again. The quarter saw a string of headline-worthy transactions that prove demand for exceptional properties hasn’t gone anywhere:
Coral Pavilion: $16.5M, Long Bay Beachfront Land: $6.9M
Grace Bay Club Estate E403/404: $6.35M, Villa Khaya: $3.85M
These aren’t just sales—they’re statements. Buyers are still chasing quality, and they’re willing to pay for it.

Arc is advancing rapidly, with exciting milestones underway. The walls and columns on the 4th level are progressing, and the first phase of the 5th level slab has now been poured, with the second phase scheduled for early August. Arc remains on track to reach roof level in a few months’ time, with full completion anticipated in late 2026.
Limited Sky Villas remain available—including two 2-bedrooms, two 3-bedrooms, and the expansive 12,630 sq ft Penthouse—as discerning interest continues to build. With sweeping views of the Caicos Bank, Juba Sound, and the South Bank Lagoon, these residences offer a truly one-of-a-kind living experience.

Turks and Caicos Real Estate: Market Recalibration in Motion
Growth is never lineal and growing markets simply don’t keep increasing endlessly, without some periods of recalibration. Since 2020, the Turks and Caicos Islands have experienced record-breaking demand in both tourism and real estate. The past five years have seen nearly three times the transactional volume of the previous five years—an extraordinary, often breathless period that catalyzed a construction boom, bringing elevated quality and expanded options for buyers.
After such an extended surge, the market is now entering an inevitable recalibration period. Total Year-To-Date (YTD) sales volume dropped 13.4% compared to the same period in 2024 (from $354,457,949 to $309,975,838) though average sales prices increased by $167,098 representing a 10.8% jump. Market-wide inventory has increased, currently $2,047,883,872 worth of inventory on the MLS which represents a 20% increase with an increase in DOM from 189 to 238 Days, creating a more measured buyer outlook.
As an important client wistfully put it, it is currently a bit foggy for many to see clearly enough to make sizeable real estate investments. Buyers and investors are waiting for the fog to lift. Patience is truly a virtue for sellers – avoiding panic while taking a sober look at pricing and value, recognizing that overzealous pricing can be rebuked in bearish markets. Resale buyers are waiting on the sidelines, ready to strike when they see back-to-earth valuations. Developers especially need patience given the abundance of pre-construction and under-construction units available. Developer fundamentals remain paramount, with product design, innovation, execution quality, amenities, and services functioning as the primary drivers that provide first-class value. Purchasers will be rewarded when they choose projects with developers who have proven track records for executing exceptional quality – both those already committed and those seeking new offerings in prime developments completing within the next two years.
New Offerings such as the South Bank Beach Villa 18, The Strand’s Signature Villas ($7.4M+), M-House by Beach Enclave ($4.05M+), and Villas at Blue Mountain ($5.3M+) continue drawing interest by aligning with buyer expectations: location, architectural distinction and lifestyle. Arc Sky Villas at South Bank steadily progresses construction, with the 5th level slab starting imminently and completion slated for end of 2026. The Point by Grace Bay Resorts broke ground in February and has reached significant milestones in construction and engineering of this iconic new property on Grace Bay beach. Large beachfront parcels including a 6.17 acres lot with 526 ft of frontage at $35M and 2.9 acres lot with 285 ft frontage at $19.5M, both on Grace Bay Beach, signal continued investment potential for master-planned communities or ultra-luxury estates.
As Turks and Caicos continues this recalibration period, we look forward to being of service throughout.

An exhilarating new chapter of luxury island living in Turks and Caicos has begun: After a much-anticipated launch in December 2024, M-House by Beach Enclave has officially broken ground. This extraordinary community is already making waves on the island, blending the soulful allure of Mediterranean design with the laid-back sophistication of modern Caribbean living.
Crafted in collaboration with world-renowned architect Rolf Blakstad of Ibiza’s famed Blakstad Architects, M-House is where timeless Mediterranean elegance meets cutting-edge island design. A curated collection of just nine residences, ranging from three to six bedrooms, redefines barefoot luxury on our famed ivory shoreline that meets crystal-clear waters.
M-House Enters Its Next Phase with Ground-breaking Slated for Q4 and Elevated Amenities Well Underway
Following a successful Friends & Family release—resulting in three early sales—and the completion of site works, M-House is now on track to break ground by October 2025. The resort continues to evolve, with newly enhanced amenities that elevate the guest and owner experience. The fitness centre has been thoughtfully relocated to capture sweeping ocean views and now features both a sauna and ice plunge for a complete wellness offering. Meanwhile, the beach experience has been reimagined with the introduction of a private beach club, complete with a pool and on-site restaurant, offering a refined yet relaxed coastal lifestyle.
From beachfront to hilltop, every M-House residence is its own private sanctuary—expertly designed to flow with the natural topography, embrace panoramic ocean views, and seamlessly blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Think Spanish-inspired textures, light-filled spaces, private courtyards and rooftop lounges made for golden-hour gatherings.
