Luxe hotelier Banyan Group and developer Rafael Reyes are partnering to build an oasis on the Bahamian island of Bimini, only 48 miles off the coast of Miami, FL. “When New Yorkers take off in a seaplane or helicopter — they go to the Hamptons. I’m trying to create that same concept in a Caribbean fashion.” The planned community called “Rockwell Island” will include 54 waterfront mansions — each with a pool, 90-foot-plus dock, and garages custom-built to fit Moke jeeps. A series of dining and beach clubs will also come to the island, with a completion date scheduled for early 2025. (via Bloomberg News)
I love being part of projects similar to that, because it affects the lives of so many people. It brings new streams of cash flow for the local economy.
It definitely fits the city.
Henry Flagler would warn you that the Hamptons don’t have to deal with hurricanes. I love the idea and how forward-thinking the City of Miami is, I just don’t see this as a good investment.
You really cannot compare MIAMI to the Maldives - I mean really The Maldives considered one of the best Beaches in the world.
This will go down well when an inevitable major hurricane comes along
Sounds amazing!
