Our master plan calls for a compact gem of a town surrounded both on land and at sea by beautiful nature. About 1,000 of our 1,200 acres will remain in a natural state, though we will actively help it regenerate into a full fledged tropical dry forest – a rare and particularly beautiful and interesting ecosystem.
Our planning has been influenced by the New Urbanist movement which is re-establishing the practice and techniques of building walkable neighborhoods, towns, and cities. We have also been heavily influenced by the pedestrian hill towns of the old world. We have studied these historical precedents intensely (and joyfully – they are wonderful!) and they have helped us tremendously.
