It comes as no surprise that The Donald's
(Trump, that is) latest Caribbean venture happens to be one of the
largest in the region.
Trump already has
his name on the golf course and casino at the high-end Raffles
Resort on Canouan in the Grenadines, but the Cap Cana project in
the Dominican Republic will go beyond putting and
roulette.
The 30,000-acre
Trump at Cap Cana project in the Dominican Republic will feature a
$2 billion luxury resort with a golf course, villas, a beach club,
a condo-hotel and private residences.
Cap Cana, located
adjacent to the Punta Cana International Airport, will be developed
in stages.
The first stage,
called Trump Farallon Estates at Cap Cana, will include 68 private
estates, each set on lots of at least 1.5 acres.
When the master
plan is completed, Cap Cana will offer more than 5,000 residential
units and four luxury hotels, three Jack Nicklaus-designed golf
courses and a marina with 1,000 slips for yachts up to 150 feet
long. The marina's first phase will open this spring.
Additional resort
facilities will include boutiques, restaurants, spas, membership
clubs, water sports, polo and horseback riding.
Cap Cana is part
of the Abrisa Group, one of the primary financial and holding
companies in the Dominican Republic.
