Early July saw a short but very busy visit to the island. On site, the construction pace is quickening and a lot of progress is visible. We are on track for completion of construction of Blocks A, B, G & H by 1st September and Blocks C, D, E & F by 30th September.
Construction on site is now entering the final three months, everything is shaping up well and we remain on schedule for delivering the residential units by the end of August. We will then move on to the handover programme between 1st September and 31st October. All owners will receive by email detailed information about the delivery handover timings and process in the next couple of weeks to enable you to plan your trip to Cyprus to take delivery of your property.
I spent a good couple of days with Cengiz Dervis, our Spa consultant, who was visiting the island meeting with suppliers and viewing the site.
We met with several suppliers for the gym and spa equipment as well as with Elemis who will provide the signature product line for the Spa. Felicity Leahy, the International Business Manager for Elemis, made some excellent suggestions to enhance the use of space which we were swiftly able to incorporate into the interior plan.
The focus of the week was firmly on the operational requirements of the Spa and the central reception building. Claire Chrysostomou, the interior architect, continues to do a fine job supervising the contractors with the build.

Given the style revisions made to the Spa since the launch of the development we have some new artist’s impressions showing how the finished area will look.

The show house in D-block is now completed and used as a cool, calm meeting venue at the heart of the hot dusty chaos of the building site. Watch this space for the latest interior photos to follow.
Externally, there has been a lot of visible progress. The palm trees have been lifted into place on plot A and the work on the surfaces then began. Crazy paving defines the pathways with stone grip in the communal areas and wooden decking around the pools and whirlpools.

The steel girders for the roof terrace pergolas have been lifted into place and the white wood cross beams installed. To protect the visual integrity of the roof line and conceal the solar panels we have fitted additional mesh panels to the front of some of the blocks.

The main contractor GCC and all their sub-contractors continue to do an excellent job of delivering top quality and keeping the project delivery almost on time, despite some severe weather challenges earlier in the year.
