St Kitts Citizenship benefits boost demand at new $ 100 million Caribbean resort

St Kitts & Nevis, Caribbean (PRWEB) October 31, 2009

St Kitts Citizenship is boosting demand for luxury villas, poolside cottages and condominiums at the $ 100 million Ocean’s Edge resort development at Frigate Bay, report luxury property experts Savills Select Resorts.

Privileged St Kitts Citizenship with all its second passport benefits is proving to be an added incentive for buyers keen to invest in aspirational but accessible property on one of the world’s most beautiful islands.

Citizenship of St Kitts brings with it a second passport plus significant offshore financial benefits such as freedom from income tax, property taxes, inheritance tax and capital gains tax for property owned for 12 months or more.

It is open to people who invest at least $ 350,000 or its eastern Caribbean equivalent currency in an approved scheme. Ocean’s Edge is officially recognised by the Government of St Kitts as meeting all the necessary criteria required.

Savills Select Resorts Director Pauline Bonanni said: “Investing in property must be one of the most cost effective ways of gaining the considerable benefits afforded by St Kitts Citizenship.”

“Prices at Ocean’s Edge start in the mid-$ 300,000 range, for which investors gain St Kitts Citizenship, second passports, tax concessions and a home on a Caribbean paradise listed as one of the world’s top 20 islands on which to live.”

Work on Phase 3a of Ocean’s Edge is due to start shortly. Masterminding the project is the Cable Bay Hotel Development Company (CBHDC). Families are already moving into Phases 1 and 2 at the resort which has been praised by St Kitts Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, the Hon Dr Denzil L Douglas.

Phase 3a of the vacation home development includes:

    Bespoke Villas – 32 villa lots starting from US $ 200,000 with a cost of approximately US $ 300 per square foot to build a bespoke villa with fantastic ocean views
    Poolside Cottages – 10 two-bedroom semi-detached, single-storey cottages (approx 1,825 square feet), each with their own small garden and private plunge pool at US $ 525,000
    Hillside Condominiums – two-bedroom condominiums with plunge pools (approx 1,500 square feet), overlooking the ocean, from US $ 575,000
    Two-bedroom Beachfront Condominiums, approx 1,650 square feet, from US $ 609,000
    One-bedroom Beachfront Condominiums – 800-900 square feet, from US $ 359,000.
In total, Ocean’s Edge will comprise 190 condominiums plus 32 lots for bespoke villas. Completion is scheduled for late 2012.

Clients with an interest in purchasing property can participate in a three-night subsidised inspection trip to experience St Kitts and Ocean’s Edge. For more information, please contact Pauline Bonanni, Savills Select Resorts, +44 (0)1202 765011.
