Ginn sur Mer Update
September 16, 2008
Hurricane-proofing Ginn sur Mer
It’s been an active hurricane season in the Caribbean, what the locals call “windy season,” but fortunately, you’d never know it on Grand Bahama Island, where all is well.
For the past 18 months, the Ginn sur Mer team has been working to ensure the community is built on a formidable foundation. The property’s infrastructure is being built to handle storms without problem. Among the actions taken are:
- Raising the entire property’s foundation for residential units to 10 ½ feet above sea level
- Ensuring all structures built on the island are up to Miami/Dade County’s strict hurricane codes
- Mandating all property owners to have a back-up generator and propane tank on-site
Hurricane-proofing Ginn sur Mer is a priority as this development take shape. The actions taken now will help alleviate future concerns of residents in the future.
The Cottages at Ginn sur Mer
The community is growing quickly with the newest neighborhood being The Cottages 
at Ginn sur Mer. It is located directly next to the existing Inn at Old Bahama Bay.
The Cottages offer simplicity. From the sandy roads to the tin roofs, The Cottages represent the Bahamian lifestyle.
Residences will have oversized porches, open floor plans and fully-customizable interiors for owners. Designed in a “quaint style,” they are available in two-, three- and four-bedroom plans. They will be delivered completely turnkey.
