National Colony Realty

A Blog About Turks and Caicos Real Estate by National Colony Realty

The staff quarters of the Royal Reef resort on North Caicos that was completed before the project was abandoned has been bought by a Canadian developer.

A spokesman for the firm, Royal Caicos Beach Club & Spa, said that 30 of the dwellings had already been sold to the company’s existing clients in just 10 days (as per Weekly News) and they have been receiving a lot more interest in the project. The units will be ready by October to November of this year as they are well under construction.

Hopefully, this project will pick up from the intention of the previous developers of the Royal Reef to provide additional jobs for persons on the island of North Caicos and provide an added boost for the island through the much needed traffic that the resort intends to bring.

Lucayan remains

Author: Terry Meneley 05.08.2010

There are many items that have been found throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands as evidence of the existence of Lucayans in our islands. In fact, there are Turks and Caicos stamps that have been printed which depicts a few of these remains, such as a wooden canoe paddle (discovered by Captain Bob Gascoine),broken pieces of pottery, conch shell tools, clam shell scraping tools and whelk spoons and scraping tools which could have been used in woodworking, preparing the land for cultivation and processing turtles and fishes. The next time you are looking at a TCI stamp, see if the inscription says “Lucayan Remains”.

Coralie Gardens of North Creek area in Grand Turk is one of the locations in which excavations were carried out and remains were found.

The Times of the Islands magazine has a history section in all of their issues, the next time you are on island pick up a copy and learn more about our history.

The Mansions

Author: Terry Meneley 03.08.2010

In the summer of 1997 someone wrote “The balance of life and art requires passion, spirit, daydreams, sunsets, an ocean that steals your soul and pure grace”.  They were writing it in regards to living at “the Mansions” as a lifestyle that truly reflects your state of mind. 

Some 13 years later, the quote is still appropriate as this quaint 24 unit condominium (only two units per floor) is still one of the best buys in Providenciales with it’s romantic arches, keystone columns and Grace Bay’s 12 mile white sand beach at your front and back doors!   

Visit our site for more information on the Mansions or any other condo project that might catch your eye.

The Turks and Caicos is a paradise, that is why the purchase of real estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Providenciales in particular is attracting world-wide attention. Three of the things that makes us a paradise for real estate purchasers is because of the islands’ tax haven status, the fact that there are no restrictions on the purchase and ownership of property by foreign investors, and of course the sheer natural beauty of the islands.

Take a sneak peek of some of National Colony Realty’s properties and what we have to offer in paradise.

Well, we are letting go of our “old” modern logo (that our boss who has been here since 1966 always thought looked like a house falling off a hill) for a ”new” older one that represents our rich history in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

We are having the office repainted, revamped, and hanging old sepia photos from Provo’s history which our company is proud to be part of.

We could never have pulled it off without the help of Jon and Gina from eyeSpice who helped with the entire concept, photos, business cards and colours….we can’t thank them enough!!!!!!

Stay tuned for our new old look next week.
