The BW Group Brings The Registry Collection® Exchange Programme Into Luxury Resort City In Tunisia
June 10, 2009 by Fractional Ownership News ·
The BW Group announced that its new fractional development, The International Riviera resort development in Tunisia, has affiliated with The Registry Collection® exchange programme, the world’s largest luxury exchange programme.
The five-star residential resort development will comprise 60,000 wholly-owned and shared-ownership properties when it is completed. BW Group chairman, Bobby Wahi, says that despite the global financial crisis, the multi-billion dollar project has attracted a high level of interest from international banks, investor funds and other developers.
The first build phase is set to be completed in 2011 and will include 50 luxury water villas to be sold as high-end fractional ownership properties and enroll in The Registry Collection exchange programme. The water villas are the first of a significant number of fractional properties planned for this development and will be sold on the basis of a one-eighth or six-week share of the freehold.
The concept for The International Riviera was created by Wahi himself who wants the resort city to be a fusion of European elegance and the 21st century pioneering spirit of Dubai. Featuring a series of integrated villages styled on the hotspots of the world, such as Cannes, St. Tropez, Marbella, Portofino, Miami and Monaco, the resort will have at its heart a Las Vegas-style casino complex and a range of other upscale amenities, including golf, spa, marinas, retail and several international hotel brands. Purchasers will also have the ability to participate in the growing property portfolio of The Registry Collection exchange programme, also giving access to exclusive member benefits, including a 24-hour concierge service.
“We are very proud to add a property of the caliber of The International Riviera to The Registry Collection programme,” said Gregg Anderson, Global Managing Director, The Registry Collection programme. “Our goal is to offer our members the finest vacation destinations in the world. Working with affiliates such as the BW Group ensures that our members receive exactly the world-class luxury travel experience they desire.
“The Registry Collection offers a unique exchange programme for our fractional owners,” said Wahi. “The level of service and exclusivity that The Registry Collection programme provides is precisely what our owners are looking for. We are very pleased to be working with them.”
Anderson added: “We are delighted to welcome the BW Group and The International Riviera to our luxury exchange programme. In terms of its concept and the variety it offers, this development will certainly be one of the most unique and exciting fractional property developments in the world when it is completed.”
The BW Group is set to replicate the model in China, where it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government to develop a 26-kilometre square island in the South China Sea.
