Leveraging nearly three decades of experience in the Bahamas , RIDGE excels in construction , infrastructure , and longterm destination development . In addition to the creation of Rockwell Island and its surrounding family of islands , they have already developed water , sewage , and power facilities within the region . RIDGE , among several other private institutions , was instrumental in the approval for the redevelopment of the South Bimini International Airport in November 2023 . Bimini Airport Development Partners Limited has committed to investing $ 80 million for the project over two phases . Phase one will begin in 2024 including airside and terminal improvements to enable international commercial traffic from key United States and European markets . Construction will also commence on a ferry terminal to bring visitors directly from the airport to North Bimini .
In addition to the commercial airport , RIDGE has secured approval for a seaplane terminal in partnership with Tropic Ocean Airways , complete with customs and immigration , to make travel to and from Banyan Tree Bimini Resort & Residences that much more seamless . This is slated to be the largest seaplane base in all the family islands .
Sales and construction have already begun , and the first five complete residences will be delivered in early 2025 . For more information on Banyan Tree Bimini Resort & Residences visit https :// banyantreeresidencesbimini . com
