Bahamas
Condo Hotel
Paradise Island,
The Bahamas
Everyone has heard of the amazing Atlantis
Resort in Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Now, fans
of this phenomenal property will have a chance to own
a piece of it.
Atlantis
is expanding and plans include a five-star, 22-story,
505-unit condo hotel. The property will cost $200
million to develop. It will be built by the world-renown
developer Turnberry Associates of Aventura, Florida
and Kerzner International of Nassau, which owns the
Atlantis Resort.
The condo hotel will be located within
sight of Atlantis' signature Royal Towers, the pink
24-story resort that attracts roughly one million
guests and day-visitors a year.
The Atlantis condo hotel is part of
a $1 billion expansion of Atlantis Resort. In addition
to the Atlantis condo hotel, a 600-room hotel will
also be built. The hotel will be a luxury all-suite
property modeled after high-end Las Vegas casinos.
A rendering of the proposed expansion shows two Mayan-style
buildings flanking a water park near the existing
Royal Towers.
The new Atlantis complex will offer
a more private setting, segregated from the sprawling
pool decks and water slides that are Atlantis' current
trademarks. It will help to cement Atlantis' position
as a vacation destination for visitors from all over
the world.
"Atlantis is a world-class property
known all over the world," said Jeffrey Soffer,
principal at Turnberry Associates. "How many
people go there and say, 'I would want to own here'
but have nothing to buy. Now they will."
Owners and visitors of
The Residences at Atlantis will be able to use all
of the Atlantis amenities. The resort already has
one golf course. A second one will soon be built on
nearby Athol Island which will be reachable by private
ferry. Other amenities available to Atlantis condo
