A Strong Development Record in the
Turk & Caicos Islands
The Sands at Grace Bay
In 1996 Stan Hartling purchased an initial beachfront parcel of land on Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, on which he planned to develop a 90-unit condominium resort. Stan Hartling acted as general contractor on The Sands at Grace Bay, using reputable construction firms and ensuring internal control over the project's timing and expenditures. The Sands opened in December 1998 and today it is one of the most successful resorts in the region with solid year-over-year revenue growth. One of two pioneering projects in the mid-1990s, many developers strive to emulate The Sands' model.
The Regent Palms, Turks & Caicos
Stan, in partnership with Coxco Construction, began development on The Palms Resort on Grace Bay, Providenciales, in 2002. The project, situated on a prime 12-acre site, exceeds $100,000,000 in today's dollars. The Palms comprises 72 oceanfront luxury two- and three-bedroom suites, complete with two restaurants, a ballroom, boutiques, lobby and reception, as well as a full-service spa. Coxco Construction, a local firm, has a renowned reputation for high quality construction of grand-scale projects.
The Shore Club, Long Bay Beach, Turks & Caicos
The Shore Club is Stan's third luxury project in Turks & Caicos due to break ground in 2010. A breathtaking new Caribbean condominium development, nestled in a private setting along 820 feet of prime oceanfront on the picturesque Long Bay Beach of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands.
Architecturally designed in the traditional Barbadian-style, this project features 85 units within a village-like cluster of low-density buildings, all perfectly designed to offer unsurpassed views, tranquility, and the ultimate in privacy. The amenities include a guest reception, spa, retail boutique, ballroom, main restaurant, and interior and oceanfront pool and bar areas.
