A $2.4 billion resort project in Grenada is progressing toward its 2027 launch, offering a new pathway to citizenship for African investors. The Grenada National Resort, backed by the government’s Citizenship by Investment Programme, allows qualified applicants to obtain a Grenadian passport with visa access to over 140 countries. Optiva Capital Partners says the development combines hospitality investment with global mobility benefits.

The recent topping-out ceremony marked the completion of the building’s main structure, signalling entry into the final construction phase. Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell and other senior officials attended the milestone event. Industry observers view this stage as proof that the project has moved beyond early development risks.

Hospitality operations will be managed by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, while construction is led by Singapore-based developers. Franklin Nechi, Chairman of Optiva Capital Partners, highlighted Africa’s growing role in structured global investments. He said clients gain both asset ownership and eligibility for Grenadian citizenship.

Promoters describe the initiative as a blend of economic development and regulated investment migration. They argue that for many African investors, second citizenship now supports travel access, wealth planning and long-term security. With visible construction progress, stakeholders believe confidence in the project’s delivery timeline remains strong.
