Boa Vista Cabral beach Property Development
North of Sal Rei on the Beach road
Dolphin
This is being built next door to Vila Cabral on Cabral Beach. It
is a bit smaller and the design is more attractive. It is a long
building rather than a square so apartments should be lighter and
cooler. Some apartments are nearly completed.
Sabi Sands and Creola Sands on the football stadium
FM Developments was founded in 1997 by Jonathon Milne, with the
aim of creating developments in select locations. Since then, the
company has expanded into four divisions, concentrating expertise
on development; homes, commerce, rural, construction and land .
FM Development’s diversified and international development
sectors are also expanding.
These two developments on sites one near the football ground behind
Cabral Beach and the other inland behind just to the north of the
Marina Park point are being undertaken by an Edinburgh company which
specialises in slum clearance in Glasgow, Dundee and Liverpool.
Essentially it plans to clear away all the existing bidonvilles
and build a mixture of villas and apartment blocks in two large
areas about a mile apart. Build quality is likely to be above the
norm. The company has plans for other islands as well. Prices are
more attractive than at many other sites. It is unresponsive and
uncommunicative without strong public relations or marketing skills.
So the developments may be slow to take off. .
Atlantis Sands
Beside Creola Sands Resort, but with a location possibly fronting
onto the shore line Atlantis will have similar English-style buildings,
but arranged as apartments or flats. The development will not start
until Creola is finished some time from 2008 onwards.
