Zaha Hadid Architects will design a yacht club, nightclub, and casino in the Bahamas Marina that will be North America’s largest superyacht marina and residential community. The project is part of Habacoa Marina Development and is expected to open in 2027.

“These new details allow us to share more about the development in a yet-to-be-seen perspective,” said Ra’anan Ben-Zur, Habacoa CEO & Developer, and added, “This project will truly redefine super-yachting and luxury living, creating an upscale, sophisticated lifestyle.”

Habacoa has described this project as “North America’s largest and most comprehensive superyacht marina & luxury residential community.” The Yacht Club will be 25,000 square feet (approximately 2,320 square meters) and will feature a unique roof, restaurant and bar, open-air terraces, and a hub for curated events and programming. The architectural concept revolves around undulating forms that connect with the marina and define all the covered outdoor spaces.

Also, Habacoa’s developers are committed to sustainability in the Bahamas. They aim to minimize disruption to marine habitats, use sustainable construction methods, and incorporate extensive solar power and rainwater harvesting infrastructure.

“Respecting the natural beauty and integrity of South Abaco, we envisioned our design through a sustainable lens,” said Juan Ignacio Aranguren, Associate Director, Zaha Hadid Architects, and added, “This project has been deeply influenced by meticulous attention to environmental considerations.”
