To be developed by international marina construction and development company SF Group in joint venture with TEI, Inc., a New York-based development group owned by Francis Greenburger, and Antillean Development LLC, an Anguillan-based developer under the lead of George A Fraser, the project is designed to be a catalyst for sustainable growth. David Mizrahi, managing partner of the development and CEO of SF Investments, emphasises: “Our goal is to create a world-class maritime destination that not only respects Anguilla’s natural beauty but also propels the island into a new era of economic opportunity.” The project offers 118 berths for vessels up to 260ft (79m), a 62-key five-star hotel under a renowned New York luxury brand, 18 beachfront villas, and 45 residences with potential expansion to 18 upland villas. Its prime location, just 11nm from Sint Maarten International Airport, ensures unparalleled accessibility for international travellers and yacht owners. To be constructed by Consigli in cooperation with SF Marina, Port Nimara will feature a premium yacht club, advanced customs and immigration services, a waterfront promenade, sophisticated security systems and comprehensive maintenance services. SF Marina has integrated sustainable design principles to ensure the project is in harmony with Anguilla’s marine ecosystem, incorporating advanced environmental measures. To complement the marina development, Anguilla’s airport will undergo significant expansion, including a runway extension to 7,800ft (2,380m) to allow for all size of private jet, as well as commercial planes. Port Nimara is predicted to generate 200 direct job opportunities and create around 500 peripheral jobs across hospitality, maritime, retail and support sectors.
