PROGRESS AT PORT LOUIS GRENADA
St. George, May 2, 2008 - Peter de Savary, chairman and founder of Port Louis, Grenada has agreed to an investment development plan with Park Town Capital PLC, London, England, who will develop up to 90 luxury villas and apartments -- each between 4,000 and 6,000 square feet.
The properties will overlook the vibrant Port Louis Village, the
Caribbean Sea and the Camper & Nicholsons super yacht marina. The
marina, now open and set for completion this year, offers over 300
berths for yachts of up to 90m and a draft of 7m.
Park Town Capital PLC (PTC) in conjunction with the international firm
of Cushman & Wakefield Residential will develop luxury properties
and have appointed Yoo, the international design, branding and
Development Company co-founded by John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck to
carry out the designs.
Port Louis residents & visitors will benefit from luxury hotel
services, duty free shopping, signature bars and restaurants, an
associated golf course, as well as an FBO facility at Point Salines
International Airport.
Peter de Savary is quoted as saying, "I am delighted to introduce yet
another top international investor/developer group to Grenada. Port
Louis and Grenada will benefit greatly from the experience and plans
Park Town Capital will deliver to this world-class site. This is an
exciting time for Port Louis and the people of Grenada. This latest
development will allow Port Louis to evolve quickly and with true
quality. We are in the process of talking to a number of other
investors /developers who we hope to bring together for other elements
of Port Louis thereby having a consortium of specialists to make this a
truly world-class destination as quickly as possible. The opportunities
for Grenadians will be immense as the project gains momentum."
Daniel Mc Gowan, Chairman, Park Town Capital PLC, said: "Port Louis is
an idyllic location in one of the most beautiful natural harbours in
the world. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Peter de
Savary and leading design company Yoo. Port Louis is a demonstration of
our global ambitions following our projects in Europe and the Middle
East."
Duncan Wilson, Development Director, Park Town Capital PLC, said: "Not
only will the Port Louis development create the Caribbean equivalent of
St. Tropez, Portofino, St. Barth’s and Porto Cervo; it will also create
a major contribution to the economy of Grenada over the long term. We
believe that a development of this scale and quality will be the
catalyst to establish Grenada as the most exclusive and desirable
tourist location in the West Indies."
Nikki Beach, the internationally renowned hotelier and restaurateur, in
partnership with the de Savary Group also plan to construct a 6 star
resort/hotel/club with up to 180 rooms & suites within Port Louis.
