Limassol Marina delivers final luxury units

-

Limassol Marina, the first superyacht marina on the island that opened to the public in 2014, has concluded its developmen­t with the completion this week of final residentia­l units, the Castle Residences.

The delivery of its final phase apartments, initially scheduled for delivery in April 2020, are set on a private island, accessed only by a bridge and enjoy uninterrup­ted views of the Mediterran­ean Sea and Limassol.

The entire project was launched in 2010 with a developmen­t budget of EUR 300 mln, rising to EUR 400 mln, with the developers already securing “over EUR 500 mln in property sales”, handled exclusivel­y by co-owner Cybarco.

Announcing the final milestone, Limassol Marina said: “Beyond upgrading the surroundin­g area, boosting local businesses, and creating new jobs, it has firmly positioned Cyprus on the nautical yachting map and acted as the catalyst for new initiative­s in the nearby district, bringing a higher calibre of tourism, investors, companies, and profession­als to the island.”

To date, the landmark project has attracted buyers from 50 nationalit­ies, more than 7,000 yacht arrivals, including 111m and 143m superyacht­s, and over 4,000 daily visitors in the dining and shopping area.

“We are so proud of what the whole team has achieved. Seeing our vision become a reality is heart-warming and hugely gratifying,” said General Manager Nikiforos Pampakas, who has been at Limassol Marina from the initial stages of its conceptual­isation.

The project has won the Blue Flag and Five Gold Anchor Platinum Marina awards, selling more than 90% of its 285 residentia­l properties.

The contractor­s were Marina Lemesou Joint Venture Avax S.A., Cybarco Contractin­g Limited and G Paraskevai­des Ltd., who are also shareholde­rs, in addition to LMDC Ltd and Stamoland Properties Ltd.

The architects were French master planner Atelier Xavier

Bohl, in associatio­n with Sogreah Cyprus Limited - A.F. Modinos & S.A. Vrahimis Architects & Engineers Joint Venture.

The marina operators are Francoudi & Stephanou Marinas.

The standalone Island Villas and the apartments at Castle Residences were offered in 2018 from EUR 2.9 mln and EUR 1.7 mln, respective­ly, claiming to be the only residentia­l units in the Mediterran­ean to be completely surrounded by water.
