Melkonian Capital Management and RAL Companies today announced the official groundbreaking and public sales launch of Mandarin Oriental Residences, Grand Cayman which is destined to be the island’s most exclusive enclave featuring the new Mandarin Oriental, Grand Cayman Hotel. Scheduled for completion in Q1 2028, the development marks Mandarin Oriental’s first new construction resort and residences in the Caribbean and is set to deliver an unparalleled level of luxury.
A groundbreaking ceremony, with representatives from Cayman Island government, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, and ownership in attendance, was held on Tuesday, February 11 which celebrated the construction commencement on two distinct residential offerings, The Beach House and Ocean House Residences. The Beach House collection comprises 20 exquisite residences situated atop the 91-key ultra luxury resort complete with a comprehensive array of world-class amenities. Located along Grand Cayman’s iconic iron shore coastline next to the resort, The Ocean House collection features 22 uniquely designed residences within a private, boutique residential building.
Prior to official sales launch, strong momentum was driven solely by word of mouth, resulting in over 40% of residences being sold. Mandarin Oriental Residences, Grand Cayman offers the rare opportunity to own in one of the Caribbean’s most desirable destinations. The Residences are priced from USD$6 million.
