South Bank overview
South Bank is a 31-acre development on the southeastern
shore of Providenciales in Long Bay. The project began in
2017 with a focus on creating a water-based lifestyle in
an area of serene natural beauty. The expansive property
is bordered by sandy beachfront, limestone ironshore,
and verdant indigenous vegetation — with an inland
lagoon at its center and an integrated marina at its flank.
Thoughtfully designed buildings blend seamlessly into
the scene and offer a range of options for residents.
South Bank had comprised three different neighborhoods
of various residence types. The Ocean Estates
neighborhood encompasses 19 three- to seven-bedroom
beachfront and oceanfront villas, each with a private
pool, some with a transparent edge that seems to float
above the sea. To date, 15 villas are under construction,
with 16 sold and 2 reserved.
The Lagoon neighborhood includes three- to five-bedroom
beachfront villas surrounding a sandy swimming
lagoon, with some having their own boat docks. Of these,
all 18 villas are sold, under construction, and expected to
be completed in early 2023.
The Launch offers one- to three-bedroom townhomes,
aptly named Boathouses for their private rear terraces
with a boat dock suspended over the water. To date, only
five are still for sale (out of 38) and all are under construction
for completion in the first quarter of 2024.
It comes as no surprise that South Bank sales ranked
as the most successful real estate performance in TCI
history, with well over $150 million sold in 2021 and
2022 (thus far), alone. Joe Zahm, president/broker of
Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty comments,
“With over 65 properties sold between $1,000,000 and
$11,500,000 since 2020, South Bank — a robust and
secure 31 acre resort and residential marina community
with all the amenities — has been historically successful
in terms of sales performance. Buyers simply love the
concept, designs, and the variety of waterfront experiences,
from the Boathouses, each with a private slip,
to the Lagoon Beach Villas with their protected waters,
and including the signature Ocean Estates. Representing
South Bank has been a peak career experience for me
and my team.” The combination of a unique location,
well-conceived plan, desirable contemporary architecture,
and the outstanding reputation of the development firm
Windward, cemented its allure.
Debuting Arc
With the voracious interest in these properties, the developers
wanted to ensure that the final offering at South
Bank was truly special, surprising, and appealing to the
booming TCI luxury real estate market. Left untouched
was a prime two-acre “point” on the western Long Bay
shoreline. Its vantage embraces sunrise and sunset, along
Due to its position on a prime two-acre “point” on the Long Bay shoreline, Arc residences will enjoy sunrise and sunset views.
