UPDATE: Nanny Cay expansion gets started in September
He was speaking with Virgin Islands News Online last night July 23, 2014 following a brief interaction with persons who turned up to a public meeting called by the Town and Country Planning Department of the Virgin Islands (VI) Government to discuss the expansion of Nanny Cay.
Mr McColl said that he was very pleased with the response that he has been getting from the general public.
Among those present at the meeting was Third District Representative Honourable Julian Fraser, RA who has expressed high optimism about the project and said that it stands not only to benefit his District but for the greater part Tortola and the Territory as a whole.
“You know that he is not shooting in the dark… it is a viable investment,” said Hon Fraser. “I am very optimistic, positive, happy, happy to see that there is still interest in my District,” added Hon Fraser.
The approved phase of the expansion according to Mr McColl is designed to create an additional 130 slips to the Marina at Nanny Cay with de-water access for yachts and additional land for real estate development.
Mr McColl said that all the additional buildings constructed have since been sold. “This is a subsequent phase where we are raising the bar even higher in terms of the quality of what we have been building and the level of refinement and finish on these units,” he said.
The expansion will be starting in September of 2014 and once things go as planned he anticipates that the marina element and land will be completed within 12 months.
In approximately a year after the completion of the 1st phase McColl says that the second phase is likely to get going with the construction of the real estate on the land. “That would take approximately 12 months for it to be finished and ready for occupancy,” said Mr McColl.
