Building For The Future
As you drive up the Platinum Coast of Barbados, you can’t help but see a plethora of Groves –Mullins Grove, Garden Grove, Palm Grove, Mullins Grove 2.0 and soon to be launched Ocean Grove, and Eden Grove! These highly sought-after homes, all a leap from the beach in prime locations, is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Suzanne Koshnoodi and Max Mulligan.
The Grove Group project profile and approach to delivery is different because their priorities look beyond the traditional. Quite simply, they look at new ways to mix luxury with living, creating sensible designs for real people. Resilient yet sophisticated features, designed for extraordinary lifestyles. Over the past 9 years, they have developed a track record developing top-quality, value turn-key homes, under their exclusive management post completion with successful projects cementing their position in Barbados’s desirable West Coast property market.
“We believe the world is changing and how people live, and build is changing. We want a development that looks to the future – how you want to live in ten years’ time. Not to the past,” said Max. Having lived in Barbados for many years, with his father being a developer here before him, Max completely understands the importance of ensuring people have a nice environment to live at a reasonable price.
Suzanne, from New York who heads all design and branding, has multiple decades experience having run her own PR and Marketing agency in the Big Apple. The two make an awesome team. "We wanted to evoke that feeling of effortless sophistication by the beach. The generous interiors, grand water and nods to coastal design provide a relaxed sense of luxury. It’s getting down to the nostalgic paramount holidays, so you feel at home and comfortable,” said Suzanne.
Grove Group launched in the BPN December/January edition, Mullins Grove 2.0, a short leap to the popular Mullins beach, this development has a good return on investment. This will be a collection of 21 one and two-bedroom condominiums including pools, wellness centre, rooftop with café/lounge, and exclusive Grove Group beach club. Mullins Grove 2.0 construction commences April 2023.
“At Mullins Grove a two bedroom, paying all the fees you can make around $36,000 B’dos a year profit. During Covid 19 this development still made a profit! Grove Group manages the bookings and takes the worry away from the owners, who get to use it 3 months a year, one in the winter and two in the summer and they pay nothing when they are in residence,” said Max.
Just a head’s up everyone, most of the developments done by this dynamic team sell out within weeks of launching. Prices at Mullins Grove 2.0 start at US$309,999 with only a few units left.
