Cemex has been named the primary cement supplier for the Baha Mar tourist complex in Cable Beach, Nassau, the Bahamas, being built by CCA Bahamas Ltd.
It is expected that the complex, which will house the largest entertainment centre in the Caribbean, will be key to maintaining the Bahamas as one of the world’s premiere tourist destinations. It is expected to be completed in December 2014.
As primary supplier, Cemex will provide 110 000 t of cement for the first phase of the project, which is currently being built on an area of 1000 acres. The Baha Mar complex is expected to feature world-class hotels and condominiums with over 1 km of beach among many other amenities.
“This important project, which will generate many construction jobs, gives us great satisfaction because it will contribute to improving the quality of life of many people, which is in line with Cemex’s objective of generating wellbeing through quality building solutions,” said Carlos González, President of Cemex in the Bahamas.
