Dart Realty Buys Grand Cayman Freehold

A Dart Realty affiliate will pay the Cayman Government US$14,574,000 for the conversion of leasehold to freehold on the 280-acre former North Sound Golf Course.

As it stands the land is subject to a 99-year-lease that has 75 years left. Negotiations of the freehold transfer began in 2011 with both the government and Dart Realty having appraisals done on the value of converting the land from leasehold to freehold.

Conversion of the lease will have to be finalised in accordance with the requirements of the Governor (Vesting of Lands) Law, but the deal has been done in principal.

This is the latest of a number of Dart Realty projects. Last Wednesday (January 27 2016) Dart Realty Ltd. celebrated the official opening of its new Camana Bay LEED® Gold certified 86,000 square foot office building.

The building at 18 Forum Lane will minimise energy use through their shade-on-shade design, rooftop solar panels and thoughtfully designed landscaping to offer ample shade. (more…)

Taste of Cayman

Herman East End Fish Fry

When people think of the Cayman Islands, most people think of no direct taxation, great weather, beautiful beaches, amazing diving and stunning Caribbean natural beauty. What people don’t necessarily think of is Cayman’s fantastic world-class food scene that has exploded over the last couple of years.

International and local chefs continue to open fantastic restaurants in Cayman bringing a fantastic mix of Caribbean and European influences to the Islands, and with many Cayman eateries adopting the farm-to-table movement its not only high quality seafood on offer.

The farm-to-table movement not only brings healthy, fresh and local produce to Cayman plates but also keeps money in local pockets. When dining in Cayman you can be eating the fish from its waters and the vegetables from its land. (more…)

New Camana Bay planning application submitted

A US$40 million planning application of Camana Bay has been submitted to widen and realign the Esterley Tibbetts Highway. The plans include a four-lane divided highway, an underpass and a pedestrian-friendly ramp over the realigned road.

Once the four-lane bypass is completed the existing road will transition to a low-speed internal road though Camana Bay.

The $40 million road is phase one of a US$400 million build-out plan of the area by the Cayman Islands Government and Dart Realty (Cayman Ltd.). Phase two will aim to add a pedestrian overpass over West Bay Road to Seven Mile Beach, and the final phase will be a newly constructed five star hotel and residence on Seven Mile Beach. (more…)
