Bacolet Bay, Grenada GRENADA One of the most significant trends in property investment over the last few years has been the growth in citizenship investing and the plethora of tax advantages available in a number of Caribbean countries. In order to generate much needed revenue a number of islands have established themselves not only as tax free havens but are offering tax exempt local citizenship in return for healthy financial contributions or real estate investment. Those already with systems in place include Dominica, St Kitts and Nevis, Belize and Barbados but now they are also being joined by Grenada and Antigua. The government has introduced a variety of tax exemptions and is in the process of introducing a new residency/citizen package to further encourage overseas investment. This Citizen By Investment Program will require those accepted to invest in property and reside for at least part of the year in Grenada and is likely to attract high net worth buyers from the Middle East, Far East and China. The program which is being geared to carefully attract only “clean and credit investors” is expected to bring greater liquidity to the Grenadian property market which should in turn have a continued positive impact upon property values here. TO WATCH: Cinnamon Suites, Bacolet Bay Beach Resort Located exclusively overlooking the beach, there are 2 types of these one bed apartment style suites; type A the larger with Kitchenette and Type B. The ground floor properties have extra-large terraces and all first floor have superb ocean views (as do many of the ground floor units).
