Construction at Palm Cay has created nearly 100 jobs as a result of the project’s executives seeing the need for an expansion in the beachfront and marina property.

The jobs created are either directly for the development or for contractors and subcontractors on the job.

Having already quadrupled its full time local team in sales, operations and marina services in less than a year, the waterfront, family-oriented community along New Providence’s south eastern shore is also creating opportunities for more than 80 construction workers.

From unskilled labour to skilled carpenters, plumbers and electricians, the employees are working on a 5-year project that includes beachfront and ocean view town homes, a five-phase condominium project and numerous individual homes on single family residential lots.

They are also putting the finishing touches on a beachfront restaurant to be called The Billfish Grill which is expected to open by month’s end and Chives Dockside, a casual eatery that will open a short while later.

Workers have already completed tennis courts, a clubhouse and numerous other amenities, including two swimming pools and extensive walkways, infrastructure, lighting, electrical and other works.

“We are a hive of activity right now. Interest continues to grow, and construction with it,” Sales & Marketing Director Zack Bonczek said.

“After the success of our first town homes and single family lots, we actually had to launch Phase 1 of our condo project, The Anchorage, ahead of schedule.”

With construction of Phase I underway and nearly all of the units already spoken for, Bonczek said work is also continuing on several family lots, as well as the luxurious beachfront Starfish Isle town homes.

“Demand continues to build,” he said.

“And with three more phases of The Anchorage to come and some exciting new offerings in the pipeline, we look forward to creating opportunities for even more Bahamians.”

According to Bonczek, the appeal of Palm Cay is the result of its unique mix of top drawer amenities, beautiful beachfront views, elegantly appointed units and an already flourishing community atmosphere.

It also boasts a marina that is the closest to Exuma and with 194 slips, the largest in New Providence in terms of capacity.
