South Bank Resort Offers Exclusive Tour To Atlanta’s National Association of Women in Construction

The National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC’s) Atlanta Chapter visit parts of the South Bank property now under construction.

 Windward, a luxury real estate developer specializing in innovative waterfront projects, recently hosted the National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC’s) Atlanta Chapter during their visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

 The group toured South Bank Resort, Windward’s residential resort and marina community located in Long Bay, Providenciales.

The NAWIC Atlanta Chapter, dedicated to supporting women in the construction industry, organized the community outreach project as an opportunity for members to connect with industry peers and explore the growing construction and development landscape in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The group, which included Oriel Selver, a Turks and Caicos Islander and member of NAWIC’s Atlanta Chapter, received an exclusive construction site tour of Arc — the final architectural statement of South Bank Resort. Hosted by Windward Director, Kyle Smith and Core Construction’s Francisco Franco, the tour offered an in-depth look at Arc’s development progress and the innovative construction methods that are defining its design.

Following the tour, the group enjoyed food and cocktails at Lua, South Bank Resort’s signature restaurant, providing a relaxed setting for further networking and discussion.

“As a proud Turks and Caicos Islander, it was amazing to see a local development of this magnitude firsthand. Being part of NAWIC’s Atlanta Chapter and experiencing the growth of my home country alongside my colleagues was incredibly rewarding. Our South Bank tour offered a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the progress of Arc’s development. Witnessing the active construction was both exciting and inspiring – an impressive blend of creativity and craftsmanship,” said Oriel Selver. “We wrapped up the day with delicious freshly baked pizza and refreshing cocktails, making it a perfect combination of work and relaxation in this beautiful setting,” she added.
