Ranging from 3,100 to more than 7,000 square feet, the residences are sold turnkey and priced from $6.9 million.

Glazier and Gensler Architects with impressive gathering spaces, five bedrooms, five and a half baths, and more than 8,500 square feet, set in gardens created by SKS Landscape Architects that reflect the Caribbean’s natural environment.
