PRESS RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2007
West Caicos Reserve
MOLASSES REEF ENHANCES DEVELOPMENT TEAM
PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS—(September 5, 2007) Logwood Hotel Development Co. Ltd. -- which is the owner of Molasses Reef, a Ritz Carlton Reserve being constructed on West Caicos in the Turks and Caicos Islands -- has hired an additional construction management firm assist with the completion of the hotel and condominium project. Turquoise Construction Co., a subsidiary of Ashtrom Int’l, will provide overall coordination for the construction of the project by the end of September 2007. Due to the increasing size and the unique nature of the development -- as well as a desire to accelerate the construction of the marina and other residential phases of the project ahead of the original schedule -- the company determined that additional resources are needed.
The Developers of West Caicos, a group lead by Alan Lisenby and David Hartshorn, will continue their active roles in the project. “Developing a luxury hotel on an uninhabited island is a very complicated task” said Alan Lisenby, a substantial shareholder in Logwood Hotel Development Company “and we are continually strengthening our team. Hiring Ashtrom will help ensure our goal of completing construction of the Turks and Caicos’ first internationally branded luxury hotel on schedule, in late 2008”.
