Real Estate in St. Kitts

I N V E S T I N G  I N REAL ESTATE
An imminent revolution in real estate development will change St Kitts forever. The author examines the plans that have so far been put forward and cannot but conclude that the results will place St Kitts at the very top of the Caribbean real estate ladder.

In the northern part of the island there is an equally interesting development also of substantial proportion, 390 acres. Here the landscape is so different from the south, with tropical rain forest tumbling down through verdant pasture and plantations to the Atlantic side of the island. There are views to our neighboring islands of Statia , Saba, St Barts and St. Maarten. At Kittitian Heights at Whitegate, on the North West of the island there is rising a most interesting and charming integrated resort nestling beneath the fatherly eye of Mount Liamuiga and above the village of St Paul’s. The key theme here will be environmental and cultural integration. It is expected that Kittitian heights will serve as a defining model for Caribbean resort development.

The architecture will reflect the Caribbean ambience, respecting the breezes and the lush and lovely landscape. There will be a mixed-use development with an Artists village, a place where Kittitians, guests, artists and writers can interact within the context of a Caribbean village setting. There will be an amphitheatre for the performing arts that
will figure as a venue for an annual film festival. Together these two places will become a creative hub within the resort. To complete this creative centre there will also be a state of the art post-production film studio an internationally acclaimed firm will manage.

There will be a boutique hotel that will be made up of a series of Kittitian cottages with the reception and public areas, restaurants etc. located centrally in the artists’ village. This
integrated village will be a unique development giving artists and tourists alike the opportunity to experience the creative dynamism and camaraderie that is truly Kittitian.
As well as a luxury destination spa, there will a number of residential property options. There one can purchase a luxury villa in substantial plots of between half and one acre.
The villa design will reflect the vernacular architecture of St Kitts with its cool pitched roofs and shaded verandahs. There will be precise design guidelines.

Alternatively one might like to live on the St Christopher’s estate centered in the heart of the new 18 hole Ian Woosnam signature golf course. Here one can choose among spacious townhouses and condominiums. Facilities will also include a lagoon style swimming pool, restaurants bar and bistro. The golf club will have all the traditional country club attributes including a golf academy, and tennis courts.

Belmont Village will be situated on a promontory above the golf course and will have panoramic views of Mount Liamuigua and the surrounding lush foothills tumbling down
to the turquoise sea. The development here will be mainly duplex townhouses and apartments and will have its own tennis center and swimming pool complex.
