thursday february 4 1971 the tribune pase 11 cleared driveways plugged by plow buttonville stormy weather has been the theme of most local conversation over the past week everyone has a tale to tell

bahamas one island out of some twenty developments currently in progress today stands out as the undisputed front runner this is treasur cay a 1450 acre island 120 miles north of nassau off great abaco island which in the past two years has seen more actual concrete investment more happenings such as international sporting events more stimulating action in fact more life generally than any other resort development in the bahamas steady progress while some of the highly publicized glamour developments have been experi encing financial difficulties or ownership problems and while others are still in an embryonic stage of development trea sure cay soundly backed by a consortium of british and american merchant banks has shown the staying power of a born winner and has continued to make steady and impressive progress during the tight money era on a recent visit to treasure cay my first for two years 1 saw any amount of evidence of the large scale investment that has taken place recently under the direction of the deltec banking corpor ation managing partners in the develop ment consortium my deltec hosts were able to cite a for midable list of amenities already in existence and in full operation at treasure cay at the present time together with much work still in progress and of course existing plans for the future already created at treasure cay are a modern hotel complex an 18hole golf course a large marina tennis courts a shopping centre administrative offices a service station miles of paved roads hundreds of bulkheaded homesites along miles of canals water mains and utilities international telephone service car hire taxi service boat rentals and some eighty private homes completed with yet more going up the treasure cay international airport is a port of entry for customs and immi gration and is served by frequent scheduled flights from nassau and florida 20 million invested much of the recent development activity at treasure cay my hosts told me has centred on the dredging and bulkheading of three miles of waterways and waterfront homesites by the misener marine con struction company of st petersburg fla the hotel has been quadrupled in size by the addition of 75 villas the marina has been improved and total investment has risen to approximately 20 million from the 10 million already invested there when deltec acquired the island in 1968 with all thissolid achievement behind them treasure cays developers were proud to tell me weve got a new town by the tail weve already got hundreds of investor families living here or visiting regularly and weve got everything they need not just planned but actually in the ground right now as i drove round the islands gently rolling acres with glimpses of the sea at every turn i had to agree that here at last was a development that indeed had everything and that had performed what it had promised the treasure cay beach hotel for in stance unlike so many out island hos- telries was alive and bustling with a sense of purpose you felt immediately that this was a hotel that served a living community represented by hetland and stevens the hotel has the distinction with its satellite villas dotted along treasure cays marvellous powder soft beach of being the largest hotel complex in the out islands visitors relax by the pool at treasure cay beach hotel the rendezvous for fine food and island entertainment see the innocent island acftotv channel 9 special presentation on treasure cay sunday feb 7 at 6 pm tmmaammaamaamataa yet more villas are being added to the existing 75 the nearby treasure cay marina has been greatly expanded and is according to deltec the finest equipped marina within the out islands home base of the treasure cay fishing fleet it has already seen plenty of competitive action the local angling buffs laughingly tell of the day the stand collapsed when at the close of the 7th annual canadian international fishing contest the addition of a 175 marlin already groaning under the weight of other marlin wahoo and dolphin resulted in the structures complete collapse over 4000 lbs of fish were boated during the two day tournament as a water vacation spot the place is impossible to beat the beaches are assuredly among the bahamas best the water blue and clear and totally unpolluted is protected from the atlantic ocean swells by the line of the abaco cays offshore sheltered water for twenty miles in either direction provides the visiting yachtsman with the best cruising grounds in the bahamas with quaint cape cod settle ments dating back to loyalist days to visit on outlying islands golf galore treasure cay is also a mecca for golfers the 18hole par 72 championship course designed by dick wilson offers plenty of challenge and is rated among the three best in the bahamas it is in firstclass shape watered from the islands copious freshwater lens and was the scene earlier this year of the bahamas ryder cup proam tournament which drew among other world famous pros eric brown captain of the ryder cup team to hold skills against bahamian players with freeport grand bahama treasure cay cosponsored the first bahamas open tournament 130000 prize money in dec 1970 the event attracted top name golfers from all over the world the developers of treasure cay have clearly shown that they are capable of delivering the goods be it action or in vestment in full measure buying and building but apart from their action and invest ment of greatest interest to me and to potential investors were the signs every where that private investors were choosing treasure cay not just as a place to buy land as a speculation but as a place in which to buy and build apart from the eighty private homes already completed in the course of my tour of the island i saw at least a dozen more under con struction the new construction ranged from a two- bedroom beachfront home of a chicago executive to a 2600 sq ft oceanfront home for a scottish distiller and from another twobedroom home for a new jersey family to a 2500 sq ft home for a dusseldorf germany industrialist at another point some michigan investors had just completed a group of five villas three for their own use and three for rent on bulkheaded waterfront property loth fairways of the treatare cay is bole cturoplooihip gou coane wiad throogb rolling knolli to beautifully
