The Bonaire District Launches New Project for Retail Stores

For the past several months, those on Bonaire have been watching with interest while a new complex was built at the circle interchange on the northern “hotel row.” This past Friday, the new project was officially launched with a “highest point” party, a tradition when constructing any new building on Bonaire.

The Bonaire District is a new retail outlet consisting of 12 stores, which are now available for lease.  With each store being 25 square meters in size, they are ideal for such businesses as a coffee shop, clothing store, camera shop, bakery, dive facility, flower shop, or any other similar endeavor.  Current plans call for a project delivery date of June, 2007, although the first phase will be available for occupancy in March, 2007.

As is tradition on Bonaire, when the highest point (completion of the roof) has been reached, a party is given for those constructing the building and the owner’s friends and acquaintances.  Accordingly, this past Friday, many in the business and governmental communities of Bonaire met for a cocktail reception at the new site, and previewed the project plans while enjoying drinks, snacks, and music.  Images of Friday’s party can be viewed on the Bonaire Insider Photo Gallery by clicking here.
