Nexus Rd Develops Angsana Samaná Bay
A Luxury Beachfront Development On The Dominican Republic’s Samaná Peninsula
SAMANÁ, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC –Angsana Samaná Bay, the first five-star luxury beachfront development in Samaná Bay, is currently being developed by Nexus RD. Presently, Angsana Samaná Bay is in the initial stages of construction with completion of its first phase expected in 2010. The complex will consist of oceanfront marina condos and ocean-view hill condos; exclusive villas and townhouses; a five-star condo hotel with luxury suites and villas and a full service spa; and a 280-slip water port with over 22,765 feet of mooring length. The project will also offer a 108,000-square-foot upscale waterfront commercial village. While most resorts in the Dominican Republic offer all-inclusive packages, Angsana Samaná Bay will only provide first-class accommodations and experiences tailored to the guest’s personal preferences in an exclusive setting.
Samaná Bay is located in the picturesque northeastern region of the Dominican Republic where visitors will be able to experience a perfect balance of nature, beach and world-class retail, dining and entertainment options. Samaná Bay is a boaters’ paradise with a dozen undeveloped white sand beaches all reachable by boat.
Nexus RD is a dynamic company that identifies expansion and investment opportunities in growing markets with sustainable development elements. They are dedicated to preserving the natural environmental wonder of Samaná, as well as contributing to the economic growth of the region by bringing hundreds of new jobs to the area. In addition to the creation of new jobs, the region’s first hospitality school is being built to further prepare the local work force.
Nexus RD chose Samaná not only for the location’s natural beauty, but also because a 68-mile highway linking Santo Domingo and Samaná is being constructed and will open in 2008. Upon completion, Samaná will become one of closest beaches to Santo Domingo and Santiago. The region’s growth has been further jumpstarted by the recent opening of the El Catey International Airport.
Angsana Samaná Bay’s hotel and condominium components will be marketed under the five-star Angsana brand, an affiliate of Singapore-based Banyan Tree Hotel Group. “This world-acclaimed hotel group will join the world’s most prestigious firms in the design and execution of one of the most elite resorts in the Dominican Republic,” said Nexus RD’s Chief Executive Officer, Felipe Ferrer Llinares. “We feel extremely honored that Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts have chosen Nexus RD as an exclusive partner for the Dominican Republic.”
In addition to the hotel partnership, Nexus RD has signed on best-in-breed partners to create this first class destination. Spanish consulting firm Tourism & Leisure / Europraxis, is responsible for the project coordination, while Parsons will manage construction of the entire development . WATG developed the architectural concept, with Perez Guerras acting as architects of record. Applied Technology & Management handled the initial design and concept of the marina while Iberinsa finalized its technical drawings. LifeInvest and Prodigy International are jointly handling the sales and marketing of the development.
