The milestone comes as the team celebrates the topping out of Arc at South Bank, the resort’s signature six-story residential building and the first of its kind in the TCI, designed by acclaimed Italian architect Piero Lissoni.

Arc, which is expected to be completed in 2026, represents Lissoni’s first built project in the Caribbean. The architect visited Turks and Caicos this week to mark the topping-out ceremony, underscoring the significance of the achievement and the momentum behind the transformative oceanfront destination.

“Reaching the topping out of Arc at South Bank is a proud moment for our team and partners,” said Ingo Reckhorn, co-founder of Windward. “The overwhelming response from buyers, reflected in over $300 million in sales across South Bank, reinforces the vision we had to create a world-class waterfront community that blends design and lifestyle in an unparalleled fashion in the Turks and Caicos.”

With more than 30 years of global design influence, Lissoni has crafted Arc’s Sky Villas to highlight the natural beauty of the islands. Each of the 17 residences embodies a villa-style approach to modern living, emphasizing seamless indoor-outdoor flow and 360-degree water views. Expansive terraces on every level feature outdoor kitchens, pools, gardens, showers, and integrated open-air living and dining spaces.

South Bank spans 31 acres along Long Bay and encompasses four distinct residential neighborhoods: the Ocean Estate Villas, the Lagoon Villas, the Boathouses, and Arc. The development also includes two new Windward projects, the final two Beach Villas and Niva, a limited collection of six private island retreats.

The Ocean Estate Villas consist of 19 contemporary homes up to 8,000 square feet; the Lagoon Villas include 18 Malibu-inspired residences overlooking the country’s first man-made lagoon; while the Boathouses offer 38 village-style homes, each with a private dock. Arc’s biophilic architecture elevates the living experience with lush, sky-high environments suspended over the Caicos Bank. Prices range from $3.2 million to $18 million, including a 12,630-square-foot penthouse that spans the entire top floor, one of only five remaining units.

“South Bank has captured the attention of discerning buyers locally and globally,” said Joe Zahm of TCI Sotheby’s Realty, the sales team representing South Bank. “Its design-forward residences, curated amenities, and direct access to the water have been a key driver of sales momentum. Crossing the $300 million sales threshold ahead of schedule is a testament to the quality of the product, the strength of TCI’s luxury market, and the lifestyle buyers see in South Bank.”

Residents at Arc will enjoy a full suite of luxury amenities managed by Grace Bay Resorts, including a serviced marina, boat concierge, fitness center, spa, tennis and pickleball courts, on-demand butler and private chefs, floating lounging islands on the swimming lagoon, and direct access to Long Bay Beach. Units range from two to five bedrooms and include exclusive features such as underground parking, private elevator access for select residences, and custom finishes by Lissoni.

“This construction milestone marks a significant moment not only for South Bank, but for the future of luxury living in Turks and Caicos,” said Nikheel Advani, COO and Co-Founder of Grace Bay Resorts. “We are incredibly proud of the outpour of positive responses we've received in the year that South Bank has been officially open, and seeing the residential sales from these first 12 months is a true testament to the vision, design, and demand for this exceptional waterfront community.”
