Demise of the former BBC/DW Caribbean Relay Station ... Carribean real estate costs
The real estate could be used for many things besides a resort.
In the Caribbean, due to the limited amount of land -- land costs will always be higher. Not all resorts have to be on the beach, in Fiji many are not. If a multinational company is interested, a higher price may occur during the land sale. Thoughts on the demise of the former BBC/DW Caribbean Relay Station... .................................................. .......... 5. Because the US / Canada and Western Caribbean are not primary BBC/DW target areas, it becomes logical to sell the facility off so that it can be turned into an upmarket resort -- thus putting some Euros into cash strapped BBC/DW as well as VT-Merlin that operated the facility. -=-=-=-=-=-=-= From my memory the transmitter site was in the middle of the island - NOT a prime resort location. Maybe it could be used for a golf course, but I'd think any resort would have to be on a beach. Even modern shortwave transmitting stations are hard to sell these days. I've heard of one which recently sold for about the same price that people are paying for large 4-bedroom houses in my neighborhood or a modest flat in London or Paris. |
