Of the of 43 half acre lots released for sale, 32 lots have sold to predominatly American, English, Scottish and Swiss buyers. Buyers have bought two lots side by side. Two sites have begun villa building works (one over lot no. 7 is a 7,000 sq ft villa on 1.5 acres.)

“The location of Friendship Heights is my personal favourite because of the views you get to the small offshore islands to Canouan, Mustique, Union, Carriacou and Grenada (on the clear days.) Northern ridge lots also overlook Mount Pleasant to the north east and to Ravine Bay.”
Lara Cowan, Director
Infrastructure
The road is maintained by the government as the landowner becomes taxpayer upon purchase of land. Cable, telephone and electricity are built in underground to each site.
