Limegrove Lifestyle Centre with its $100 million investment is poised to add to Barbados as a high quality destination.
This was one of the admissions made by Prime Minister of Barbados David Thompson in a media briefing, following a tour of the west coast lifestyle centre.
As the commercial space which represents 80 per cent of the 10 acre property moves closer toward its December 2010, completion date, the PM explained, Barbados is viewed as a destination of a once in a lifetime scenario.
So as the Prime Minister noted, “it’s like owning a Cartier watch from Diamonds International or Monte Blanc pen, or some other unique thing.” Barbados is a unique pleasure, he indicated.
He explained that just as the island continues to attract visitors and investors with such great means, the island must have sites that will drive them here. The PM told the media that LimeGrove would be such a property, offering some of the greatest brands around the world, to encourage commerce and shopping.
The Prime Minister said, “When we position ourselves there we must have the product and the opportunities for persons at that level to engage in high quality shopping. “
PM Thompson complimented property developer Paul Altman and his team for thinking of Holetown and added that he hopes a similar thing will happen in Speighstown, because there is a lot of potential in Speighstown and other discreet sites around Barbados. You can have unique experiences
