Botanic Bay
G+2 apartments · Grand Bay area, Mauritius
The challenge
Botanic Bay had already been taken to market once and stalled. The developer had the site and the ambition, but the original concept and pricing hadn't converted. The Hub was brought in to rework it — rethinking the concept, fine-tuning the pricing to the market, and rebuilding the marketing materials around it.
A structure built for speed — and lower risk
The developer wanted to break ground as early as possible. Rather than wait on pre-sales to fund the build, The Hub engineered a structure that let the bank finance construction while units were sold in parallel — building and selling at the same time, instead of one holding up the other. The project was structured as a vente à terme, keeping the developer's exposure lower through construction.
What The Hub did
The Hub sat at the centre of the project and connected every moving part:
- Feasibility study, and input into the concept and design
- Legal framework for the land transfer and the structuring of the project
- Negotiations with the banks on the developer's behalf
- Design and delivery of the full marketing campaign
- Selection of the finishes alongside the promoter
- Client-by-client support — financing needs, personal holding structures, and signature of the CRP
- Variations management — each client's bespoke changes, kept in sync with the builder and consultants so every change flowed through cleanly
- Management of the real estate agency partners selling alongside us
- Close follow-up with the local authorities
The result
A G+2 apartment development in the Grand Bay area. Under The Hub's management and through our selling partners, Botanic Bay was fully reserved in under three months. The 15 apartments, priced from €490,000, represent a GDV of €8.25M (≈ MUR 445.5M), and will be handed to their owners in December 2026.
Throughout construction, the developer and buyers followed progress through The Hub's developer portal — live project status drawn from our management systems.
Throughout the project, the developer has had a direct view of sales, construction and finances through The Hub's Developer Portal.
