Caribbean Luxury Real Estate Development

What Caribbean Luxury Real Estate Development does

Caribbean Luxury Real Estate Development Group (DBA: Carib Developments) is a privately held investment and development company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida that specializes in creating luxury hospitality and residential developments across the Caribbean. The company operates a portfolio of four large-scale land positions: a 10,000-acre option on San Salvador, Bahamas with a planned 2-hotel, 250-villa branded resort; a 40-200 acre site at North West Point Providenciales in Turks and Caicos adjacent to Amanyara; the 560-acre Dellis Cay private island; and a 780-acre peninsula in Puerto Rico with 8 miles of private beach. Its business model combines one-time luxury villa sales to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, managed hospitality operations for planned hotels, and strategic land development, with revenue dependent on project completion and villa closings that have not yet been disclosed.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by management-team relationships: it targets UHNWI buyers through direct network referrals and institutional investors through a curated capital stack that includes construction partner dck worldwide, hotel operators First and Foremost Hospitality and Hartec Hotel Cluster, architectural firm Liev Rodriguez, and financing partners including Kenfin Family Office and 2Shores Financial. The equity partnership structure with San Salvador landowner Emmanuel Alexiou aligns land owners with the developer. The leadership team carries pedigree from Disney, InterContinental Hotels, Khazanah National, Sentosa Island Resort, and Ocean Park Hong Kong, and an advisory board headed by former PSNI Chief Constable Sir George Hamilton QPM.

The company is in pre-revenue/early execution phase: no completed projects, no disclosed sales, and no funding rounds have been reported in the available material, despite a partnership stack and land position that collectively represent a multi-billion-dollar development pipeline if executed. Core technology is limited to a conventional CRS partnership with Centrium Experiencengine for hotel distribution; there are no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary platform, or software product capabilities.
