Marina Taking Shape at Christophe Harbour

By Katherine in Marina, Real Estate

Just a few short weeks after the groundbreaking ceremony that officially launched construction, the Christophe Harbour marina is taking shape right before our eyes! 

The Christophe Harbour team along with American Bridge and Devcon are making swift progress with the goal of delivering the first megadock at the end of this year. 

Since the construction team arrived onsite, we've dredged 115,000 cubic yards of dirt from the pond, which is being used to form the land for the lower golf holes along the perimeter of the harbour. 50% of the sheetpiling has been installed along the shoreline, and the piling for the main walkway has been driven.

By Katherine in

This week St. Kitts welcomes its newest waterfront bar as SALT Plage opens in Whitehouse Bay. The newest addition to Christophe Harbour, SALT Plage is the first Caribbean-side venue within the resort community. The bar’s open-air design takes full advantage of its seaside setting.
