Speaking of the design, for the 5,000 square feet of land, Mr. De Savary indicated that “it will comprise of 45 to 50 modern-day state-of-the-art suites with a touch of the past”. He pointed out that “upon completion, among the main attractions of the site would be glass elevators from the top of the mountain descending down to the sea. They would be supported by 22 penthouses – 11 on each side with a touch of the famous Amalfi course of Italy”.
According to the contractor Dr. La Touche, the project will start later this year and is expected to conclude within 12 months. During construction, extensive marketing of the Port Louis project is expected to garner interest from businesses desirous of purchasing luxury houses.
