Master Planning

For the past sixty years Robertson Ward has specialized internationally in the master planning of destination resort developments.  These schemes have reflected a varied combination of mixed briefs including hotels, associated supporting facilities, custom residential work and often, other localized features worthy and capable of contributing to the uniqueness of a scheme.

Having adopted carefully considered responsible environmental land planning practices, Robertson Ward approaches planning development by designing to enhance local climatic conditions, and by placing a strong emphasis on sustainability and the preservation of local natural resources. With well over 100 planning and tourism related studies completed in the Caribbean basin, and worldwide, including feasibility studies for master plans, hotels and eco-lodges, Robertson Ward enjoys a reputation of expertise and excellence.
