Two proposals for Grand Atlantic

The Grand Atlantic condo complex on South Shore, Warwick.

Government is looking at two separate proposals for the future of the Grand Atlantic development in Warwick.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Public Works said that a pair of submissions were received in response to a Request for Proposal published in May.

Both submissions are still being reviewed, with the spokeswoman adding: “There will be further information revealed in the next few weeks”.

The buildings on the South Shore site, completed in 2011, were originally erected for the purposes of affordable housing.

A total of 60 two-bedroom units and 18 three-bedroom units were built, despite concerns from groups like the Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce about the project’s proximity to a cliff face, but only one of the units sold.

Government announced that it would seek other options for the property and, following a request for proposal process, a memorandum of understanding was signed with developers Mac Lellan and Associates.

The developer announced plans to turn the property into a condo hotel referred to as the Bermudiana Beach Resort.

However, the sale of the property fell through due to difficulty securing financing, and a fresh request for proposal was published earlier this year.
