The Problem With Building in The Bahamas

If you've looked at listings here, you already know: what's on the market is overpriced, and the build quality is often disappointing. Building it yourself sounds cheaper — until you're sourcing contractors, importing materials, and navigating Freeport permitting from a thousand miles away. Most buyers never get past the planning stage.

Overpriced, Underbuilt

Freeport listings routinely sell above their real value, with finishes and construction quality that don't match the price tag. You end up paying premium money for a compromise.

Building It Yourself Rarely Works

Without a local team, you're coordinating contractors, customs, and permitting from a thousand miles away. Most self-build projects stall, run over budget, or never break ground.

The solution

Build it with CPH Investment Group.

We are the developer, not a broker. Christoph Albeck and Pamela Adam have been developing real estate since 2001 and building on Grand Bahama since 2021. You sign one contract with one team that lives on the island — and we hand you the keys.

  • Developer, not agent — our own crew, our own engineers, our own site
  • One fixed price — design, permitting, import and construction in a single turnkey contract
  • Roughly 30% below what the same house costs if you build it yourself
  • On the island, every day — you always know who is answering the phone

The advantage no private buyer can get alone

We are bonded. So you build duty‑free.

Under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, building materials enter the Freeport Special Economic Zone free of duty — but only through a bonded developer licensed inside the zone. CPH Investment Group is bonded. A private buyer is not. And neither are the developers and contractors based in Nassau: they pay full Bahamian import duty on every window, tile and fixture, and that cost lands in your price.

  • Up to 40% saved on import duty for building materials
  • Only through a bonded developer — we are bonded inside the Freeport SEZ, Nassau-based firms are not. The status is ours, and we pass the saving straight through to you
  • Secured through 2054 by the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, in force in the Freeport SEZ

This is the single biggest reason our turnkey price lands roughly 30% below building it yourself.

Why Grand Bahama

Grand Bahama has structural advantages most buyers have never heard of — and they are the reason the numbers work here.

20 Flight Minutes from Fort Lauderdale

Freeport is a 20-minute flight from Fort Lauderdale. Close enough to look in on your build over a long weekend — and still a different country, with its own rules and its own tax position.

Land at a Fraction of the Price

Canal and waterfront plots on Grand Bahama cost a fraction of comparable land in South Florida. That single number is the biggest lever on what your finished home ends up costing.

A Path to Residency

Buyers who invest USD 1,000,000 or more qualify for Bahamas Permanent Residency — a real option for owners who want more than a vacation home.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 on ProvenExpert, based on 43 verified reviews. Here's what buyers who worked with us have to say.

★★★★★ Andreas

Why it adds up

Building with CPH pays off three times over.

Not one advantage, but three that stack on top of each other — and they are the reason our clients end up with a better house for less money than the listings they started out looking at.

Once

A better build, for less

What is on the market here is overpriced and often poorly built. We build hurricane-grade, turnkey, at a fixed price — roughly 30% below what the same house costs if you build it yourself.

Twice

Duty-free, because we are bonded

Duty-free import into the Freeport SEZ works only through a bonded developer. We are bonded; firms out of Nassau are not, and they pay full duty. Up to 40% saved on materials, secured through 2054, passed straight through to you.

Three times

Land at a fraction of the price

A 20-minute flight from Fort Lauderdale, with canal and waterfront plots at a fraction of comparable South Florida prices. Same ocean, different number.
