THE VISION 1.0
. The Master Plan or Sand Bank Ba
A careful analysis of the land and an understanding of the early cultural influences that helped to shape St. Kitts and the Caribbean region led to a Master Plan which will evolve over time. Some of the components are:
• e Sandy Bank Bay Marine Sanctuary – With vibrant sea life, turtle nesting habitats, and an expansive beach, Sandy Bank Bay is planned to soon be part of a Marine Sanctuary. Much of the area will be designated as a conservation area in order to preserve its natural beauty and amenities.
• e Oceanfront – e Oceanfront area, adjacent to Sandy Bank Bay, includes Oceanfront Homesites and a private Beach Club
of the Christophe Harbour Club. Oceanfront Homesites are located on the crescent-shaped beach at Sandy Bank Bay and have captivating views to the Atlantic Ocean.
• e Harbourside – e Harbourside area is located amongst the open space and trails network that connects Sandy Bank Bay to the rest of Christophe Harbour. Nestled along a protected corner of Sandy Bank Bay, each harbourside homesite features marina views and quick access to amenities including the Christophe Harbour trail system, the Beach Club, pools and dining, the Sandy Bank Bay boatlaunchtothemarinaandtheTomFaziogolfcourse.
• e Hillside – Perched high above Sandy Bank Bay, each Hillside homesite offers a bird’s eye view of Christophe Harbour from the marina village across to the golf course at Priddies Plateau. e
soaring topography lends itself to stepped building foundations and loosely organized,“unbundled” buildings creating multiple levels for terraces, pools, and other building elements affording privacy and panoramic views.
• Trails,Linkages,andOpenSpace–Importantcomponents
of the Sandy Bank Bay are the connection to the outdoors and preservation of the natural amenities. e use of cars is limited. Circulation will often be by foot, bike, or golf cart. Trails will connect Sandy Bank Bay to the balance of Christophe Harbour and offer easy access to the Beach Club. e open space areas also take full advantage of the views, natural amenities, and wildlife found on St. Kitts.
