BAHAMAS real estate brokerage firm Engel & Völkers is on the move - relocating its main shop from downtown Nassau to Lyford Cay.

The firm - with global headquarters in Hamburg, Germany - said: “Over the past decade there has been a major shift towards the west with new developments, services and amenities that have made the western part of New Providence the premier real estate option.”

The company also announced they have opened a micro-shop in Palm Cay.

Advisor Ana Wassitsch said: “Buyers are very active these days and are looking for amenities to meet their lifestyle goals. Prior to Palm Cay establishing itself as a successful community, amenities like the beach club, restaurant, marina and spa did not exist in the eastern part of the island. There is also a fantastic new Solomon’s grocery store and a top International Baccalaureate designated private school.”

The company said it is also working with the developer to sell both its remaining Starfish Isle townhomes and the One Marina project.

General manager Rob Batchelor said: “We have a great community on the beach with an award-winning marina and our amenities are all built so you can benefit from our facilities immediately as an owner. We also have a very family island feel of privacy and exclusivity and we believe people just need to come and experience it to appreciate what we have created.”
