Barbados is known as beautiful Barbados, gem of the Caribbean sea. This property vividly displays why as an Island Nation Barbados has captured and continues to soundly hold such glowing accolades.

​

Whether you are sitting mesmerized at the beauty of the amazing blues and the crystal clear sea where the Pirate Red Leg Greaves began his first voyage,  where the Dutch Captain de Ruyter attacked our fortified shores and where the Cornwalace was torpedoed by a German submarine in the Second World War, or perhaps you are diving into our unforgettable blues  to explore one of the 7 shipwrecks located in Carlisle Bay. One thing you can not deny is that whether stated or not the address of this property is Paradise and its appeal is undeniable. 

 

The property is Located on one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the Caribbean within a UNESCO World Heritage Site and within walking distance to banks, shopping centers, restaurants and medical facilities including two of the islands hospitals.

 

Carlisle Bay is one of most beautiful natural bays in the world. In the bay one can see turtles swimming alongside snorkelers, wreck-divers floats near glass bottom boats, paddle boarders enjoy all that the bay offers as do motor yachts and sailing vessels. As you stroll along the mile and a half strip of  white sand with its pink hue that Barbados is well known for you will enjoy spectacular sunsets. The beach is enjoyed by visitors and locals alike, whether basking in the sun playing beach cricket, volleyball, paddle tennis, doing yoga or just relaxing on the beach. It truly is an extraordinary mixture of the best of everything that beach-life incorporates and is enjoyed by anyone and everyone who cares to take part.

Located at the edge of Bridgetown on the south-western part of the island, the area was once home to a collection of small hotels, night clubs and bars. These establishments catered to sailors and sea fearers who came ashore from merchant, navy and other vessels that would visit the island from time to time. The site has one building on it which is an architectural treasure that ads a special flair of charm to it. The building is presently being used for offices and several rental rooms for visitors. The surrounding lands are being temporarily used as a beach bar, food truck park, events area and gardens along with pickle ball courts. The area has been identified as one of special interest for tourism development  along with the rebuilding of the old pier.

​

The area which boasts of authentic architecture and rich history, stretches from the historic Garrison Savannah to the island’s capital Bridgetown has earned it the honour of being included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Nevertheless up to a few years ago much of the beachfront land remained either vacant, or occupied by car parks, warehouses and derelict properties. However, plans are now in motion and this area is being heralded as the new investor hot spot. The transformation has begun with several projects already underway and more slated to begin

 

Several developers are already on board with plans progressing for significant projects which are expected to regenerate the vibrancy of this historic area whilst allowing it to bloom into its full potential for tourism development which is crucial to the island as it heavily depends on tourism which is its main industry, foreign exchange earner and source of employment. The first two projects are underway and the third is about to start.​​​​​

​

The Pierhead

Sitting on 1.86 acres of land, it includes the buildings which run along the Careenage, starting at Bridge House and continuing along the wharf to the Screw Dock leading to the stunning northern end of Carlisle Bay beach. Current plans for the area include a mix of food and beverage, retail and assorted services on the lower levels of the buildings with office space and apartments on the higher floors. There is also the potential to add a signature hotel in the area as well. The architectural heritage of existing buildings will be reflected at their existing levels with a more modern appeal displayed at the levels above.

 Neville Isdell, former chairman and CEO of the Coca-Cola company is spearheading this project.
