Few destinations in the Caribbean are evolving as boldly and as beautifully as South Bank in Turks and Caicos. This 31-acre oceanfront resort and marina is redefining luxury living on Providenciales. At its center rises a new architectural icon: Arc at South Bank.
Designed by world-renowned Italian architect Piero Lissoni, Arc has rapidly become the most talked-about residential offering in Turks and Caicos. The developers, Windward Development, recently surpassed $300 million in sales across the community’s four distinct waterfront neighborhoods.
The recent topping out ceremony of Arc, celebrated on-site with Lissoni, developers, homeowners, and international media, underscored what many already sensed: South Bank is entering a defining chapter. The combination of barefoot island ease, elevated European design, and world-class amenities has made this one of the most desirable residential resort communities in the Caribbean.
The Arc is a Masterpiece by Piero Lissoni: His First in the Caribbean
For over three decades, Piero Lissoni has shaped a global design language rooted in proportion, restraint, and harmony. With Arc, he brings that mastery to Turks and Caicos for the very first time. The Arc positions itself as a six-story, biophilic residential landmark that bridges contemporary Italian minimalism with island serenity.
Inspired by the silhouette of a ship gliding across open water, Arc appears to float above the Caicos Bank. This is an intentional gesture reflected in its sweeping curves, lush greenery, and cascading terraces. Here, architecture and landscape are inseparable. Indoors and outdoors merge effortlessly. Every line, material, and freestanding piece of furniture has been carefully chosen by Lissoni, who designed both the building and its interiors to maintain a single, cohesive vision. For buyers seeking architectural pedigree rarely found in the Caribbean, The Arc at South Bank stands alone.
The Arc at South bank features Seventeen Sky Villas: Private Observatories Above the Sea
Arc is home to just 17 Sky Villas, each designed as a contemporary sanctuary suspended above turquoise water. These residences blur the boundaries between villa living and elevated condominium design. Expansive outdoor terraces wrap around every home, featuring, outdoor kitchens, private pools and lush, open-air gardens, alfresco dining and lounge spaces. Inside, Lissoni’s interiors radiate quiet sophistication, freestanding furniture, curated objects, soft natural tones, and a relaxed elegance reminiscent of his celebrated yacht interiors. Every residence frames panoramic 360-degree water views, positioning the sea as the true centerpiece. Only five Sky Villas remain, ranging from $3.2 million to $18 million, including the extraordinary full-floor penthouse spanning more than 12,000 square feet.
A Thriving Community Shaped by Water, Wellness, and Design
While Arc is South Bank’s architectural crown jewel, it is complemented by three additional waterfront neighborhoods: Ocean Estates, which is comprised of 19 contemporary beachfront villas up to 8,000 sq. ft.; Lagoon Villas, which are Malibu-inspired homes bordering TCI’s first-ever man-made swimming lagoon; The Boathouses, 38 village-style residences each with private docks.
Together, they form a cohesive master-planned community intentionally connected to the Caicos Bank, South Bank inlet, and the surrounding Juba Sound wetlands. Living here means living with the water. Residents at Arc enjoy exclusive, resort-level services curated by Grace Bay Resorts, including an on-demand butler and private chef services, a fitness center and boutique spa, a fully serviced marina and boat concierge and a spectacular swimming lagoon with lounging islands. There are also tennis and pickleball courts, inspired dining at Lua and destination-style events.
From sunrise yoga on the Lagoon Islands to private catamaran excursions departing from your marina doorstep, South Bank delivers a lifestyle that blends wellness, nature, and effortless luxury.
Momentum You Can Feel the Moment You Arrive
Over several days at South Bank, sailing across the Caicos Bank, dining at Lua, wading between lagoon islands, and watching the sun drop behind the Arc’s sculptural form—the momentum behind the community becomes undeniable. It is rare to witness a place transforming in real time, even rarer to be invited into its future.“Reaching the topping out of Arc is a proud moment,” said Ingo Reckhorn, co-founder of Windward. “The overwhelming response from buyers reinforces our vision of a world-class waterfront community that blends design and lifestyle in an unparalleled way.”
Joe Zahm of Sotheby’s Turks & Caicos echoes the sentiment: “Crossing the $300 million sales threshold ahead of schedule speaks to the strength of the market—and the lifestyle South Bank represents.”
The Arc at South Bank is more than a residential building. It is a landmark moment for design in the Caribbean, a place where architectural artistry, island beauty, and curated living converge in one breathtaking expression of home. For those seeking the next great waterfront community, the Arc at South Bank is the place to live.
