Highbourne Cay Residential Development

McLaren is providing structural and site/civil engineering services for the new residential development on Highbourne Cay, Bahamas. This 500-acre island is a private island in the Exuma Sound, approximately 60 miles south of Nassau. Development includes the design of 6 exclusive guest cottages, a new marina bar and restaurant, and planning for 3 private residences on the island. The project provides the challenge of designing for tropical conditions on a remote island. Simplification and design of materials is critical to meeting local construction, trade issues and meeting project budget.
