 Located north of The Placencia Hotel and Residences on the northern end of the Peninsula. Development plan includes six 5-story buildings, swimming pool, 300 foot pier, office and staff quarters. Rumors of a casino, but no casino approved by the Belize Department of the Environment (DOE).
The developer is The Placencia Land & Development Co. Ltd. Environmental Compliance Plan approved by DOE on 23 March 2007. The developer constructed a large groyne just south of the project for use in loading and unloading materials. The developer was discovered dredging/mining the beach at the construction site for the development in August 2008. When originally discovered, the developer claimed to be complying with sand by-passing orders issued by DOE in connection with a groyne constructed by the developer. The Belize Land Utilization Authority denied issuing a permit for the groyne and the Belize Department of Geology denied issuing a permit for the dredging. DOE disclaimed any responsibility for anything at all.
Construction at the site continues.
