Benjamin Gunst Launches Westend Nassau, a Real Estate Project Redefining Luxury in the Bahamas


Published on May 24, 2022

Cunningham Shores is a real estate company incorporated in the Bahamas and led by the French businessman Benjamin Gunst. He has more than 20 years of experience in the private bank industry operating in Europe, Canada and the Caribbean.

After a very irregular period over the last three years with the COVID-19 pandemic and the political instability occurring in many parts of the world, The Bahamas became a desirable jurisdiction to invest in. This nation is a very stable and safe country for high net worth investors seeking opportunities and security for their assets.

Benjamin Gunst has collaborated with Costantino Berdanis, a real estate developer with more than 20 years of experience in this matter. He has also served on the board of directors of the Sandyport Homeowners Association, representing one of the premier second-home communities favored by foreign purchasers and wealthy locals.

Cunningham Shores specializes in real estate developments dedicated to foreign and Bahamian investors. Nowadays, they are focused on Westend Nassau, a development that comprises 80 units, including 68 condominiums with one, two, and three bedrooms and twelve 1700-sqft townhouses with private pools and garages.

Westend Nassau is located next to the most iconic beach in The Bahamas called Love Beach. It is five minutes away from supermarkets and International Schools, ten minutes from Baha Mar, the most extensive hotel and resort in the Caribbean and fifteen minutes away from Paradise Island. The Lynden Pindling International Airport is within five minutes’ distance. The airport schedules regular flights to the major US, Canada and Caribbean cities, the UK and Panama.

Many foreigners invest in The Bahamas to obtain their permanent resident status, enabling them to stay and live there as long as they want. They would also benefit from the protection and stability of this country that possesses an entirely neutral environment.

Westend provides a unique concept for The Bahamas, ideal for families, single people, and investors looking for a short-term rental return, such as Airbnb.

Benjamin Gunst rolled ground the project in March 2021, and over 70% of the project has been sold ever since. That is a confirmation that the demand for this kind of product is very high globally. High net worth individuals are desperate to find places to invest their money, and the Bahamas offers a perfect opportunity for them.
