Coldwell Banker Jamaica Realty goes to Golden Eye
With the official groundbreaking for the $30 million expansion of the famed GoldenEye Resort on August 14th, 2009, Sales Associates of Coldwell Banker Jamaica Realty were hosted by the developer, Island Outpost, on a day trip to see the final plans and infrastructure work completed prior to the start of construction on September 7, 2009.Chris Blackwell, founder the Jamaican hotel company, Island Outpost, has paid personal attention to Phase 1 of the GoldenEye development that will be completed in October 2010. For more than sixty years, GoldenEye has been synonymous with glamour and style. Formally the home of Ian Fleming, who penned the legacy of James Bond in the 1950s, GoldenEye estate was acquired in 1977 by Blackwell, and since then has been turned into a luxury destination resort; loved and frequently visited by celebrities, political figures and musicians.
Through acquisitions, the GoldenEye resort now spreads over with 52 acres with development plans to be completed in two phases. Phase I will include eleven beachfront cottages and a new beachfront restaurant that will form a village on Low Cay Beach, a 500ft white-sand crescent protected by a coral reef. The architectural focus is in the traditional Jamaican vernacular and award winning Jamaican architect, Ann Hodges re-introduces the classic Caribbean cottage concept complete with contemporary comforts: wood-clad exteriors, jalousie shutters, and exotic outdoor showers. The one and two bedroom cottages will range from $900K to $1.2m. GoldenEye is located in Oracabessa on the North Coast of the island, 10 minutes from the town of Ocho Rios.
Coldwell Banker has a jump start with the sale of a 2-bedroom unit by top producer and uber-Bond girl, Dawn Ruddock.
