Marina Development Porto Montenegro
The genesis of this project came when Porto Montenegro’s primary investors identified an extraordinary opportunity; an overwhelming demand for yacht berths around the Mediterranean. With this, they sought to create a world-class marina that would satisfy the growing shortage of berths, while allowing outside investors to share in the long-term capital appreciation that waterfront property and berths have enjoyed over the past 50 years. And with this, Porto Montenegro was born. Previously a historic naval base, the site’s transformation into a luxury yacht marina has been led by some of the world’s most respected business figures. Headed by Peter Munk founder and chairman of Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold mining corporation.
Marin Lane-Fox was appointed as the landscape architect for this high-profile project due to his experience in this area of development and was given the task to provide appropriate planting material which would complement the existing landscape in Tivat. The jetty’s were the first priority and Spectrum Trees was asked to supply 46 nr Phoenix Canariensis palms at six meters in height,
this involved selecting plants from Spain and transporting them in ten forty foot trucks to site with appropriate phyto-sanitary documents due to the strict importation rules of bringing live plant material into Montenegro. As the site progressed Spectrum Trees was also asked by the landscape architect to provide specific plants for in and around the Marina development to compliment the waterside residences, at this stage the plants were identified and security tagged for the each phase of the residences and delivered when required.
