Development Overview
A once-in-a-generation opportunity on Paradise Island
The Ocean Club, Four Seasons Residences, Bahamas is a $300 million construction investment creating 67 private, turnkey, Four Seasons-managed luxury condominiums within a gated oceanfront enclave on 6.15 acres of beachfront on Paradise Island. The project is expected to generate $715 million in GDP impact and create approximately 1,000 construction jobs plus 200+ permanent positions. Developed in partnership with the owner of the iconic Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort — which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023 — the Residences represent the most exclusive tier of the Ocean Club lifestyle.
The project is a collaboration between Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Two Roads Development (South Florida-based, founded by Reid Boren, with 120+ combined years of luxury development experience), and Access Real Estate (a division of Access Industries, the long-term owner of The Ocean Club). Architecture by 10SB (formerly SB Architects) with interiors by Champalimaud Design — the firm behind the Beverly Hills Hotel Bungalows and the Bel Air Hotel. Marketing and sales are led by Burnett Partners.
Four beachfront buildings are positioned along Paradise Island's iconic blue-and-white arc of beach, located between the RIU Palace and Sunrise Beach Club on Casino Drive. Each residence features oceanfront or ocean views, floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive outdoor verandas, and private pools (penthouses and villas). All residences are delivered turnkey — fully furnished with premium fixtures, white Carrara marble countertops, Azul Macauba quartzite bar accents, and vibrant Caribbean-inspired artwork.
When owners are away, a dedicated team led by a Director of Residences cares for each home — preparing it for their return or, at the owner's option, managing rentals through an owner-directed rental programme. Owners receive special recognition at all Four Seasons properties worldwide.

Investment Case
Tax-free jurisdiction, branded residences, rental programmeThe Bahamas has zero income tax, zero capital gains tax, zero inheritance tax, and zero wealth tax. Four Seasons branded residences consistently command premium pricing and resale value compared to non-branded luxury properties. The optional rental programme — managed by Four Seasons — generates income when you are not in residence, with tax benefits through the Bahamas Hotel Encouragement Act.
Tax Benefits
Property tax on owner-occupied residences: first $300,000 exempt, 0.625% on $300K–$500K, 1% above $500K, capped at $120,000/year. Rental income is not subject to Bahamas income tax. Capital appreciation is retained entirely upon sale with zero capital gains tax. The Bahamian dollar is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, eliminating currency risk. For the complete tax breakdown, see Understanding Bahamas Property Taxes.
U.S. citizens: U.S. citizens and green card holders remain subject to U.S. federal tax obligations on worldwide income. Consult a cross-border tax professional.
Rental Programme
Four Seasons manages rentals at the owner's option when the owner is not in residence. The Ocean Club resort accommodations command $1,500–$3,600+ per night for hotel rooms and up to $17,000+ per night for luxury villas. Private residences with Four Seasons management are positioned to capture comparable premium rates. Participation in the rental programme offers additional tax benefits through the Bahamas Hotel Encouragement Act.
Pre-Construction Value
Pre-construction pricing typically offers 10–25% savings compared to completed-unit pricing for branded Caribbean luxury residences. With completion expected in 2028, buyers who secure units now position themselves for potential appreciation before delivery. Only 67 residences will ever exist in this development — scarcity drives long-term value.

Permanent Residency Through Your Purchase
Every residence qualifies — Glenn coordinates both processesEvery residence in this development exceeds the $1,000,000 Economic Permanent Residency (EPR) threshold. EPR provides a lifetime permit covering you, your spouse, and dependents under 18. Government fee: $20,000 (standard) or $25,000 (with work rights in own business). The property must be held for a minimum of 10 years. Minimum 90 days/year in-country. Accelerated processing for investments of $1,500,000+ — which applies to every unit in this development.
Glenn coordinates the property purchase and EPR application as one integrated process — aligning closing timelines, document preparation, and immigration filing so both proceed simultaneously. Many buyers discover the residency opportunity after purchasing elsewhere and wish they had planned earlier.
After 10 years of permanent residency (with 6 years de facto residence), you may apply for Bahamas citizenship — though this is discretionary, not automatic. A Bahamas passport provides visa-free access to approximately 155 countries. For the complete residency guide, see Bahamas Residency Through Real Estate — 2026 Guide.
Glenn handles unit selection, pricing, closing, and your EPR residency application — all at zero cost to you.
