Some 1,700 cubic yards of concrete were cast in December and a further 1,500-2,000 cubic yards will have been poured this month as we see the completion of the foundation raft slab and construction of the basement walls and columns well underway, bringing the development one step closer to going vertical.

Further progress is being made with regards to the surrounding infrastructure.

The Cayman Islands has now removed all Covid-19 travel restrictions!

Starting today, travelers will no longer need to show proof of vaccination, a negative test, or a travel declaration/ request in order to enter the Cayman Islands. All vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers are permitted to enter the Cayman Islands without the need of extra documentation or health-related steps due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After 2.5 years of covid related restrictions, the Cayman Islands is satisfied that they can safely open the borders entirely and remove all limitations to travel into the country. This decision was aided by the fact that more than 92% of persons over the age of 5 years old have received at least two doses of the vaccine, according to the Cayman Islands Government.

This will undoubtedly result in a very positive high season for both the tourism and real estate industry.

Welcome back ALL visitors of the Cayman Islands!

As we enter the second quarter of 2022 , here at IRG, we are also shifting our gaze towards the launch of ONE|GT. 

ONE|GT brings long-awaited contemporary living to the heart of the Cayman Islands. A truly unique combination of global inspiration, modern-day amenities and unparalleled luxury living, ONE|GT is conveniently located in Grand Cayman’s historic legislative and financial capital, George Town.

Alongside a beautiful boutique hotel, this groundbreaking project will feature a range of spectacular residences designed for short, mid and long-term occupancy, as well as a piazza café, a signature terrace restaurant, an infinity pool, a range of resort-style amenities and Cayman’s first luxury rooftop SKY Club. 

A hub for arts, culture and community, ONE|GT will bring a new meaning to destination living, drawing on inspiration from the best rooftop beach bars in Miami, the bustling street cafés of Europe and of course, exquisite local Caribbean flair, resulting in an unmatched sophistication and a new level of luxury in Grand Cayman.  

ONE|GT offers a collection of residences that range in size from one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom apartments, and penthouse lofts. Arranged over eight floors, each residence benefits from a private balcony or terraces that overlook the beautiful George Town Harbour and a striking panoramic view of the island. An array of innovative design features and high-quality finishes have been incorporated throughout to create unique and enjoyable living spaces.

Offering the perfect place for a downtown pied-a-terre and within walking distance of Cayman’s central business district, ONE|GT’s residence owners will also enjoy access to all the amenities and services of a modern boutique hotel, including a private gym, the unique sky club, valet parking, concierge and room service, a library area with meeting facilities, owner storage units and a wide range of delicious drinking and dining options. The inspirational views over Grand Cayman’s shores will showcase spectacular sunsets daily and residents can unwind and relax after a busy day’s work in one of the many contemporary bars and restaurants, or with a dip in any of the two pools.

“When it came to ONE|GT, we wanted to create something completely different in Grand Cayman, combining sophistication and luxury with today’s busy, contemporary lifestyle,” said Jeremy Hurst, Development Partner, IRG. 

“The modernistic design is influenced by iconic and innovative destinations around the world, including Miami, LA, Rome and Paris, as well as leveraging the unmatched beauty of the Caribbean to create this truly unique development. As the official Sales and Marketing Partner to ONE|GT, IRG is really excited to be bringing this elevated standard of living to residents, guests and the entire Cayman Islands community.”

Not only providing a new and exciting destination for work and life to merge effortlessly, ONE|GT will contribute substantial benefits into the Cayman Islands’ economy, as well as provide employment in both the construction of the hotel and residences, and in the day to day operations of the resort from a hospitality standpoint once the development opens.

“We are proud to be part of such a large revitalization effort in George Town that will contribute greatly to the continued economic development of the Cayman Islands and in particular the local community. Hopefully, ONE|GT will act as a catalyst for other developers to move forward with their projects too,” said Hurst. “ONE|GT not only provides a brand-new lifestyle destination in the heart of the nation’s capital, but it will help bolster the Cayman Islands tourism sector, real estate and hospitality industries, by providing jobs and training to Caymanians in the process.”
