Century 21 Island Realty Funding the Christophe Harbour Project
Dr. Denzil Douglas, St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister, provided some interesting economic positives last Tuesday on his weekly Tuesday radio program, Ask the PM, which is carried live on the national station ZIZ Radio. This awesome, interactive station allows listeners to call in and ask questions!
This will be beneficial to St. Kitts and Nevis! eTurboNews reported that St. Kitts continues to attract major international tourism investments amid the ongoing worldwide turbulent economic environment, which will help out its sister island greatly.
He said that “These investments continue to trickle into the economy, providing jobs and wealth creation for residents of the federation.” He also said that there are several projects going on, including the US$125 million condominium development involving the St. Kitts Marriott Residential Property, financed by Century 21 Island Realty, the giant international real estate company.

He said:
This facility will enhance the country’s profile and competitive advantage over other Caribbean countries currently vying for scarce international dollars. More importantly, it is the marketing, by the global outreach of Century 21 that will bring into sharp focus what this country has to offer the entire world and invite persons to St. Kitts and Nevis to invest in these condominiums.
Le Grand Elebash, chief operations officer of the Christophe Harbour project, commented on the development of the golf course as well. He’s excited with the progress made on the Tom Fazio-designed, 18-hole championship golf course. The 250-acre course is expected to be finished in two years. The course will offer panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea to the sister Island of Nevis.
Christophe Harbour will include a world-class, mega-yacht marina, Mandarin Oriental, luxurious real estate, private club offerings as well as restaurants and boutiques spread over 2,500 acres of beautiful beaches and tropical bays.
The Twin-Island Federation of St.Kitts and Nevis is proudly served by many of the major international carriers, including British Airways, American Airlines, Delta, and US Airways.
Caldwell Banker reported that the flights to St. Kitts and Nevis has been flourishing. Mr. Alistair Yearwood is the Tourism Advisor to the Nevis Island Administration (NIA). He recently told the Department of Information that the impact of direct British Airways flights has been substantial.
…In Nevis we are definitely benefiting from it especially in the summer months because the British travellers tend to vacation in the summer… Speaking with some of the small hoteliers, they are noticing the British guests coming in. So it’s having a positive impact. Obviously, it will have a greater impact once the Four Seasons reopens in 2010.
He said Nevis had been receiving a large number of visitors from the United Kingdom market. It’s no secret that Nevis Island also appeals to visitors from the U.S., and traditionally, 65 percent of its visitors hail from there. This particluar airline has greatly helped the success of tourism and Nevis as well as St. Kitts. Delta is now also considering a second direct flight!
