I N V E S T I N G I N REAL ESTATE
To complete the development there
will be Willet’s Bluff, a dramatically set
series of stepped condominium
apartments interspersed with infinity
edged pools and decks.
These two developments; the
Southeast Peninsula and Kittitian
Heights, both very different, are exciting
realities set to unfold in the immediate
future in St Kitts. They are far from the
only developments; there are many
others.
Another exciting development on
the St. Kitts’ southeast Peninsula will be
The Estates at Sundance Ridge, a
private, gated development 500 feet
above the blue waters of the Caribbean.
15 upscale villas, each with private pool,
are planned on expansive lots. Villas are
designed for the best in island living and
take advantage of spectacular views.

At Cable Bay, closer to the capital city
of Basseterre and the airport, is Ocean’s
Edge, a stunning 300-rooms, 5-star
resort on 39 acres near Frigate Bay.
Roadways have been laid out, designs
completed, and construction has started.
The project will feature hotel suites,
garden cottages, hillside townhouses and
villa plots, all of them with ocean views.
Many of the units are already pre-sold.
Newfound Developers Group of
Companies, international resort
developers based in Canada and headed
by business entrepreneur Brian Dobbin,
whose work has achieved recognition
and numerous awards, are the geniuses
behind this development.
Oceans Edge will emphasize space
and comfort, blending a luxurious
colonial Caribbean theme with state-ofthe-
art kitchens and bathrooms and
beautiful wood finishes. Newfound's
philosophy is to leave their buyers and
visitors refreshed, energized and happily
excited. There will be no shortage of
things to do and ways to unwind at
Ocean’s Edge.
There are so many good locations
for real estate development in St. Kitts
and they attract people for different
reasons: the locally developed Milliken
Estates is nearly sold out. The people
who bought and live there love it
because of the rain forest, the
spectacular views and Mt. Liamuiga as a
backdrop. The same is true of Rawlins
Plantation Inn, where the new
proprietors are selling 81 two-bedroom,
1,270 sq ft ‘colonial style’ cottages in the
90-acre grounds. Some of these have
already been sold to British investors.
Other developments include
Sunrise Hill Villas with delightful views
overlooking Half Moon Bay, the golf
course and the Atlantic Ocean. This is
another prime development reflecting
unique designs forCaribbean living.
These architectural designs really reflect
the Kittitian idiom coupled with
modern cool and practical layouts
Alternatively, Calypso Bay Resorts
located on the South Western end
of Frigate bay, overlooks the Caribbean
Sea. This westerly aspect gives the
residents a daily spectacular as the sunsets or fabulous vistas over the South
East peninsula and onward to Nevis.
Perched on 14 acres of beautifully
landscaped hillside the villas are
available in two and three bedroom
options and are all freehold title. This
development has been a huge success
so hurry if you want to get one of the
last remaining units.
The reassuring thing is that the
quality of development and the
responsible controls set by St. Kitts’s
government mean that this gem of an
island has every chance of becoming
one of the most desirable real estate
locations in the world.
Let’s not kid ourselves, no matter
how smart the Government or the
developers, it was the Almighty who
made the beauty that is St.Kitts. It is
comforting to see that those developers
and planners involved seem to know
that their task is an extraordinary one,
and they seem, at least to the author,
to be up to the challenge.
