Grand Turk and its Future 

Over 400 years ago, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World and first touched land at what many people believe is modern day Grand Turk.  His Discovery led to many adventurers from all over the world coming to these islands.  First settled by Loyalists to the King of England and Bermudan salt traders, the Turks and Caicos became a beautiful and promising land for those wishing to leave their troubles behind and seeking a profitable and carefree life.  The cultural richness and diversity of this special place is made of the melting pot of souls from history and throughout the world.

If you visit Grand Turk today you will find that all utilities and communications systems are in place. There is an international airport prepared to handle traffic from all over the world. Also, you will quickly come to understand why Grand Turk is among the top ten diving locations in the world.

Property values in Grand Turk have increased steadily over the last five years and have doubled in the last twelve months. It is now nearly impossible to buy a substantial beachfront property anywhere on the island.

Most importantly, the TCI government is committed to develop Grand Turk into an exclusive, world class destination. They are committed to maintaining the island’s natural beauty and will not sacrifice this for the sake of economic development.

As a result, purchasers can be assured that their investment is sound. The property they buy now will be as beautiful in 15 years as it is today and they can be confident of an excellent return on their investment.

While Providenciales introduced the Turks and Caicos to the world, it was like a child that matured into an adult overnight. The explosive growth on Providenciales saw a deserted beach become a condo lined runway over the course of a decade. Property values skyrocketed as the demand outstripped supply.

Unfortunately, the unprecedented growth did not come without a cost. Long gone are Providenciales’s quiet beaches and serene settings. Condos are built side by side and roads and services need major upgrading to handle the volume of visitors.

Development on Grand Turk is very different. The TCI government has learned from the past and has put in place the infrastructure required to ensure controlled, managed development.
