The developer of the Marriott Residences is Royal St. Kitts Beach Resort Limited (RSKBRL), the same company that built and owns the St Kitts Marriott Resort and the Royal Beach Casino. It is one of a group of companies owned by well-known Canadian developer Vic de Zen who has built a number of branded, large-scale resort properties and numerous commercial and industrial buildings across Canada. The St. Kitts Marriott Resort is the largest private employer on the island of St. Kitts.
RSKBRL is registered in the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis.
The Residences were built pursuant to Marriott International construction guidelines, which are based on the International Building Code in effect at the time of construction (IBC2000).
The Residences are constructed of cast-in-place reinforced concrete walls and floor slabs and are designed to resist Category 5 hurricanes.
Electricity and water for the Residences are supplied by Royal Utilities Limited, the Marriott Resort’s privately-owned and operated power and water provider.
The services are extremely reliable and the power plant is backed up by a generator and government power. In 2012 electrical power for the entire property was in service for 99.994% of the time.
One non-reserved parking space is provided for each unit.
Currently, the Residences are being managed by the Developer, RSKBRL. Once RSKBRL sells 80% of the units, the Residences will be managed by a subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”).
It is anticipated that on or about January 1, 2014, RSKBRL will achieve its 80%-sold sales goal and Marriott will assume management responsibility for the owners’ association and the Residences.
Units are the private property of the owner and, as such, the Property Manager does not have the right to enter a unit other than for an emergency. Owners may enter into a Vacant Home Care agreement with the Property Manager, which will authorize the manager to enter and inspect the unit in the owner’s absence. If the Property Manager notices that repairs or maintenance need to be performed, the unit owner will be notified so that repairs or maintenance can be authorized. For items not under manufacturer’s or Developer’s warranty, repairs or maintenance will be charged at the same rates as for the rest of the neighboring Marriott property whenever possible.
The property management company does not engage in the sale of units, but may be able to provide a listing of local real estate brokers who can assist.
