T he Goldstein Family, who have been responsible for the construction and management of thousands of residential units (and over three million square-feet of commercial and industrial property in the United States alone), are undertaking to invest in Anguilla.

Guests will hear more about the eagerly-awaited Zemi Beach Resort during the event at which they will enjoy drinks, canapés and music. In attendance will be the Goldsein family and their development team as well as Anguillian Government officials and representatives of key businesses. The rest of the press release is as follows: “Zemi Beach stretches along 1,000 ft of beachfront at Shoal Bay East, ranked ‘World’s Best All Round Beach’ by The Discovery Channel in 2005. It is a collection of 73, one to three bedroom, exclusive beachside freehold residences with private plunge pools. Residents will have access to first-class facilities including bars and restaurants, infinity edged pools, a luxury spa, juice bar and a top of the range fitness centre with state-of-the-art gym and an outdoor yoga terrace. “Prices for the residences start at 5,000 and the properties range from 1200 to 3700 square-feet. “The resort is the creation of world-renowned Caribbean architect, Lane Pettigrew Associates, who have designed over 60 diverse luxury homes and resorts in over 20 Caribbean countries. They have initiated the design for the resort in classic Caribbean style with modern overtones including sweeping verandas and graceful rooflines. “Located on Shoal Bay East, next to Fountain Cavern National Park, one of the most important named Indian cultural sites, every facet of the development has taken the environment into consideration, with sustainability and conservation as fundamental criteria in development decisions. Coastal areas remain untouched, indigenous plants have been removed and stored in a nursery for replanting, an energy-efficient reverse osmosis plant has been installed using collected rainwater and solar panels have been fitted to assist with water-heating. “The development team assembled for Zemi Beach has a history of excellence in this field. Design architecture is provided by Lane Pettigrew Associates and sales and marketing are provided by Cardea Property Consultants. Like all of their previous projects, the team have put a precedent on employing a local workforce and helping boost the local economy. The construction of Zemi Beach will provide over 300 jobs and a further 127 jobs when the resort is operational. It is estimated that it will contribute around US,000,000 to the local economy. “Zemi Beach has views over either the Caribbean Sea or the nearby Fountain Cavern National Park, which is home to a historical religious cave dating back to the Arawak Indian era. The name Zemi has come from the three-pointed religious stones that were found in the Cavern. It was venerated for its natural pools of water, originally the main freshwater supply of the island, which led islanders [the early inhabitants] to dedicate the place to their water deity, Jocahu. “The Goldstein family has donated ,500 towards scientific research of the National Park.Cardea Property Consultants, a boutique consultancy which focuses on marketing niche high-end properties and resort developments to individuals worldwide, will be marketing Zemi Beach.” (Source http://www.anguillian.com/article/articleview/10407/1/135/) |
