The property was selected in the early 1980’s as the location of the former La Belle Creole, a 5-Star Conrad Hilton International Hotel. This highly acclaimed resort was the pride of the island, and featured 162 keys in 22 separate buildings, with a total of 190,000 square feet. LBC closed following Hurricane Luis in 1995 and never reopened. Nestled in a stunning Baie Nettle cove, with fabulous views of the capital city of Marigot, the site is widely acknowledged to be Saint Martin’s premier resort development land. Residual buildings, now in a state of disrepair, will be demolished by the new resort’s developer. Architectural elements, poured in place concrete walls covered with a native stone facade and stone walkways, may be repurposed. New hurricane resistant building standards will be incorporated to protect both guests and employees, as well as the owner’s investment. The local French Government is supportive, understands the importance of tourism to island commerce, and will facilitate a new development. The following Property Overview and Development Highlights provide a focused snapshot of the features and characteristics of the site. This offering consists of 26.7-Acres of fee-simple “as-is” land and represents a ground-up development opportunity. https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/location-maps daily 0.75 2022-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/3c3f4a0f-304d-4fbf-b0af-0af45ca963f2/Website+Page+4_%231+Action+Button_Location+Map+%231_Caribbean+Sea+Map-EDIT.jpg Location Maps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/23831fdb-1635-4dc2-a444-da52cfc4dbfe/Website+Page+4_%231+Action+Button_Location+Map+%232_Saint+Martin+%28French%29+Sint+Maarten+%28Dutch%29+Island+Map-EDIT+copy.jpg Location Maps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/53caa120-6447-43d6-a83b-173189d7cabd/Saint+Martin+Location+Map+3.jpg Location Maps https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/property-map daily 0.75 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/70bb0243-d874-44b9-825a-0ae73d9a8622/Website+Page+4_%232+Action+Button_As+Built+Property+Map.jpg Property Map - Make it stand out Click image to enlarge for optimized viewing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/5baf515b-7a3e-4a53-93af-96758b595f28/Property+Maps-+Plan+de+Zonage+Reglementaire+PPRN+2021+copy.jpg Property Map - Make it stand out Click image to enlarge for optimized viewing. https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/what-can-be-built daily 0.75 2024-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/7c31d3a5-a59c-4549-8516-bf61118e4d40/9e9c2264-5297-498f-b687-eac907bf8435.png What Can Be Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/saint-martin-overview daily 0.75 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/88250790-b0cc-4067-85b6-76b01ee31a41/Website+Page+4_%233+Action+Button_Development+Schemes_Exhibit+%233_+Aqua+Marina+Condominium+Development+-+Dutch+Side+Sint+Maarten.jpg Saint Martin Overview - Island Economy The economy of Saint Martin centers on tourism with 85% of the labor force engaged in this sector. Over one million visitors come to the island each year with most arriving through the Princess Juliana International Airport in Sint Maarten. The financial sector is also important to Saint Martin’s economy as it facilitates financial mediation for its thriving tourism sector. No significant agriculture and limited local fishing means that almost all food must be imported. Energy resources and manufactured goods are also imported, primarily from Mexico and the US. Saint Martin is reported to have one of the highest per capita incomes in the Caribbean. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma destroyed 90% of the French side of Saint Martin. Along the coastline of Marigot, the nerve center of the economy, the storm wiped out restaurants, shops, banks and open air markets impacting more than 36,000 inhabitants.

Just 10 minutes from the property, Marigot features duty-free shopping at numerous boutiques and high-end jewelry stores. Excellent French restaurants, cafes, and bars are scattered alongside cobblestone streets. Unlike other Caribbean islands there is a vibrant nightlife and no shortage of “things-to-do” on St. Martin. The island is known for its beautiful beaches. Relaxed sunbathing, sometimes with nothing more to wear than SPF50 sunscreen, is popular on the French side. Orient Bay is a well-known and often times crowded walking beach, popular for people-watching from the many “beach club” bars fronting the bay. Watersports including sailing, kite surfing, snorkeling, paddle boards, jet skis, and scuba diving are favorite tourist pastimes. Yacht watching is another island preoccupation. A flotilla of mega yachts cruise Caribbean waters, and frequently dock at Marigot and Simpson Bay Lagoon marinas. The protected geography of Simpson Bay provides a safe harbor from storms, as well as yacht provisioning and maintenance services with dry dock facilities to 360’ for mega yachts. The close proximity of Princess Juliana, an international Caribbean hub airport, facilitates easy access for owners and their yacht charter clients. St. Martin is known as an exclusive playground for the rich and famous; celebrity sightings are not uncommon. https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/island-access daily 0.75 2023-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/d1d64862-5f79-4acc-96cc-35b9271463fa/visit-st-maarten-plane-over-beach-slide.jpg Island Access - Saint Martin is one of the most easily accessible islands in all the Caribbean.

Whether the Captain’s needs are repairs and maintenance, chef-friendly provisioning, secure anchorage during a storm, or simply a convenient location for owners and charter guests to meet their yacht for a Caribbean cruise, the island is a well-known and favorite port. Located steps away from the sights and sounds of Marigot, the capital city of St. Martin, Marina Fort-Louis offers 150 berths for mega yachts up to 80M (260 Ft.). Saint Martin’s Anse Marcel Marina was conceived to offer high-end service in a lush environment, with views looking toward Anguilla. The marina is recognized as a safe haven, offering protection during storms. It features 125 quayside and alongside berths for vessels up to 27M (88 Ft.). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e073d0b05ceb697acdb751/d35c7c1d-592c-4026-9409-f4823d2cff51/thumbnail_DJI_0896.jpg Island Access - On the French side, the Port of Marigot is the heart of this capital city. It is also where ferries depart daily to Anguilla (30 minutes) and St. Barths (90 minutes). Most large cruise ships dock in Philipsburg, at the Port of Sint Maarten on the Dutch side. The Port can handle six behemoth vessels simultaneously. Cruise passenger traffic brings two million tourists each year to the island. Port officials’ head counts were down for 2020-2021 due to Covid travel restrictions. Expectations are for a stable off-season and strong resurgence of travelers for the 2022-2023 cruise season. The Port of St. Maarten is considered one of the most modern port facilities in the Caribbean and plays an important role in island commerce. https://www.stmartindevelopment.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-07-19
