Baha Mar Resort

BRON provided civil engineering, structural engineering, coastal engineering and more services for this luxury resort.

Project Description: Baha Mar Resort is an aggressive reconstruction of the Cable Beach strip involving the demolition and relocation of existing resorts, government offices, banks, police/fire station and more. The redeveloped resort will include six new hotels, over 2,000 new rooms, largest convention center in The Bahamas, largest casino in the Caribbean and world-class golf course.

The resort is located on the famed Cable Beach stretch on the island of New Providence. Previous developments in Cable Beach over the past 20+ years resulted in harmful effects to the beach in certain areas. The Baha Mar Resort project involves reconstruction of the beach for some 1,500+ft in order to regain the world-class beach expected at the new resort.
