Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Real Estate Developments

We've follwed the developments of Peter de Savary before. The English entrepreneur, sportsman and philanthropist, has spent the last 35 years developing what he calls "unique pieces of real estate in a special way." He is the founder of the St. James Clubs and the Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle and is developing Mount Cinnamon in Grenada. He has now turned his attention to the Vanderbilt Residences at Brown & Howard Wharf in Newport, Rhode Island. He purchased the managing interest of the Brown & Howard residences in April 2010. The 16 harbor-front homes have undergone major improvements both to the interior and exterior and include features like "yacht cabin staterooms" (fitted out to feel like you are on a yacht) and a waterfront private cafe/patio for owners use.

Residents will also have use of the exclusive Vanderbilt Club. He will officially launch the Vanderbilt Residences on Saturday, June 26th with an invitation-only Yacht Hop cocktail party featuring a selection of classic and luxury super yachts of distinction. The event will also allow invited guests to preview two residences, both furnished and fully equipped in de Savary's unique style.

There are seven residences still available. They are two and three-bedroom designs with balconies and spa bathrooms. Two penthouses each have a private 1000+ sq. ft. roof top terrace Prices start at $2.75 million.

British entrepreneur Peter de Savary, founder of the St. James Clubs and the Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle, has big plans for the island of Grenada. He is currently developing a $500 million project that includes the Mount Cinnamon Grenada at Grand Anse Beach resort. The resort is located on the southwest part of the island near the village of Port Louis, another Peter de Savary project which features a marina able to accommodate large yachts. The residence part of the project at Mount Cinnamon is underway with 21 furnished homes completed and another 20 to be built in phase two. Many of the villas have been purchased and are available for rent. The development will also have a 125-room beachfront hotel and condo complex. The Savvy clubhouse is now open and includes an Italian restaurant, a pool, tennis courts, a gym and rooms for spa treatments. Peter de Savary sees Grenada as the next St. Tropez and has spent the last couple of years flying in journalists from around the world to show them the island's unique charm.

Travelers be warned however, as our sister blog Gadling recently reported, Grenada is cracking down on indecent exposure and doesn't take kindly to tourists wandering through town in just their bathing suits.
