The Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, Honorable Denzil Llewellyn Douglas and other distinguished members of the community were on hand to commemorate the announcement and express their support for the project.  The marina excavation project will be managed by St. Kitts Marine Works, which is owned and operated by Kittitian Regiwell Francis.  The $6 million project is expected to take between 14-16 months and provide numerous employment opportunities for other members of the St. Kitts National Association of Heavy Equipment Operators.

“The commencement of the marina marks a significant and positive step forward in the overall development of Christophe Harbour,” said LeGrand Elebash, chief operating officer, Christophe Harbour Development Company, Limited.  ...

Construction at Christophe Harbour continues with evidence of roadbeds prepared for paving, newly laid landscaping, and utility work at Sandy Bank Bay. The first home construction is well under way with expectations of an early 2010 move-in, and the golf course atop Priddies Plateau is really taking shape. Preparation for the Bungalows at Sandy Bank Bay, Christophe Harbour’s newest product offering, is underway along the hillside, and the land along the beachfront has been cleared for the Beach Club.  It’s a great time to be a part of Christophe Harbour and watch the continued development progress.  For more information about ownership opportunities at Sandy Bank Bay call 800.881.7180 or email [email protected].
