Real estate executive Paul Altman, one of Barbados’ most prominent realtors and developers, has agreed to speak at the second BSJ Breakfast Club meeting, which will be held at the Palm Room at Tamarind Cove Hotel from 7:30am to 9:30am on Monday, March 1, 2010. Mr. Altman will discuss in further detail his idea of creating Dubai-style man-made islands off Barbados’ west coast, provide an update on the progress of his current project, Limegrove, which will transform the look and public spaces of Holetown, and take a look at Barbados’ future prospects in the high-end international real estate market.
