The two-acre point at South Bank where Arc will be situated is surrounded by water views on all sides. Why South Bank? I recently spoke with one of South Bank’s directors, Ingo Reckhorn, about the project’s overwhelming success and bright future. He explained that the allure is the combination of relaxed sophistication and wild beauty, attracting buyers with a mutual love for water — boating, watersports, swimming, beachcombing. To date, about half of South Bank buyers are from the US and half from Canada. Many plan to share their residence over multi-generations of their family. Included are seasoned island residents attracted by the long-term potential and appeal of a waterfront lifestyle. Ironically, sales out-performed expectations in an era of pandemic, material shortages, and global construction-related challenges. Fortunately, Ingo added, “The solid partnerships formed by Windward over past projects such as Blue Cay Estate give us a strong base from which to deal with these challenges. We maintain constant communication with our partners, suppliers and contractors. That has softened the effects of these challenges tremendously.” Windward also reacted to the long and unpredictable lead-times of certain items such as windows and appliances by ordering these necessities much earlier than typically required to avoid bottlenecks in finishing the units for move ins. Prices for Arc residences start in the low $3 million, providing a new option in the currently underserviced beachfront property market in TCI. Joe Zahm adds, “The magnificent Piero Lissoni designed Arc will elevate South Bank and Long Bay, and is destined to be a timeless landmark in Turks & Caicos.” South Bank will be expertly managed by Grace Bay Resorts, one of the leading hospitality providers in the Caribbean. They will bring unparalleled expertise into the operation of South Bank’s resort facilities and amenities, as well as the rental program for all South Bank residences. a For more information, visit livesouthbank.com. 66 www.timespub.tc

RASHEED DEMERITTE Investigating the Clues The origins of Junkanoo – Part 2 By Christopher Davis, Alex Kwofie, Angelique McKay and Michael P. Pateman In the Summer 2022 issue of the Astrolabe, the authors detailed various legends of the origins of Junkanoo from European influences and mimicry to the Ahanta General, Jan Kwaw from Pokesu (today’s Princess Town) in Southwestern Ghana. However, the question remains of how Jan Kwaw became the namesake of Junkanoo in The Bahamas. Times of the Islands Fall 2022 67
