Ebony Court Apartments

Project Overview

Ebony Court Apartments is a boutique, low-rise residential community planned for St. Mary on Jamaica’s North Coast. Designed as a single, carefully composed building around a central courtyard, the project brings together contemporary architecture, generous amenities, and professional management to create a compact, resort-style living experience.

The scheme consists of one two-storey building plus a penthouse level, with a total of 24 condominiums: approximately 10 residences on the ground floor, 12 on the second floor, and 2 penthouse homes on the third level. All apartments are arranged around landscaped common areas and a central pool, preserving a sense of privacy while encouraging a feeling of community.

Concept, Location and Value Proposition

Ebony Court is conceived as a premium low-rise apartment community in a single building, with private parking, green areas, and a complete amenity package. Located in St. Mary, it positions residents and investors in one of Jamaica’s key coastal corridors, supported by strong tourism dynamics and sustained demand for new, high-standard beachfront and near-beach residential inventory.

The project’s value proposition combines four pillars:

Strategic location on the North Coast in a market with solid tourism flows and limited new boutique-scale supply.
Differentiated product: a low-rise, courtyard-style community with resort-inspired amenities rather than a conventional apartment block.
Robust governance and controls, using a builder’s credit framework with escrowed proceeds, milestone-based drawdowns, comprehensive insurance, and regular reporting.
Long-term value preservation, underpinned by quality specifications, coastal-appropriate engineering, and professionally managed operations.

Together, these elements are designed to offer both a comfortable lifestyle for end users and a bankable risk‑return profile for lenders and investors.

Architecture, Scale and Key Metrics
Ebony Court Apartments is developed on a site of approximately 3,219 m², with a total built area of about 3,057 m² distributed across the three residential levels and common areas. The ground floor accounts for roughly 1,383 m², the second level for about 1,320 m², and the penthouse level for 354 m².

The building is organized around a central courtyard, with circulation, common spaces, and amenities woven into the overall architectural composition. Program areas include:

Rooftop amenities terrace: 249.72 m²
Gym and restrooms: 65.22 m²
Central pool and jacuzzi: 302.31 m²
Private green areas: 337.35 m²
Common green areas: 223.38 m²
Common spaces and corridors: 565.85 m²
Parking lot: 949.79 m²

On-site private parking provides 55 resident spaces and 5 visitor bays, with each condominium allocated one or two parking spaces depending on the unit.

Residences

The residential program offers a curated mix of lofts and one- to two-bedroom condominiums, with larger layouts on the penthouse level. Each home includes a full kitchen, living and dining areas, concealed laundry, closets, and contemporary woodwork, emphasizing functionality and comfort in a compact footprint.

Ground-floor apartments extend the interior space into private back gardens or yards, creating a strong indoor–outdoor connection and offering additional room for relaxation, gardening, or entertaining. Upper-level units feature terraces or balconies that overlook the courtyard and common areas, while the third level combines penthouse residences with access to the rooftop amenities terrace.

Finishes are described as modern, with local materials and detailing that reflect the coastal setting and Jamaican context. The overall design seeks to balance clean, contemporary lines with a warm, residential character.

Amenities and Lifestyle

Ebony Court Apartments is designed as an amenity-rich community where residents can enjoy a resort-style lifestyle within a small-scale, easy-to-manage building. The planned amenity program includes:

Central pool with jacuzzi and adjacent restrooms, acting as the social heart of the courtyard.
Private gym for residents, with supporting restrooms.
Rooftop amenities terrace with a BBQ area, pergola and a multipurpose deck for gatherings and events.
Landscaped green areas and a walking path, encouraging outdoor activity and providing pleasant, shaded circulation around the site.
Administration office and security office, plus service rooms (warehouses and machine rooms) that support day-to-day operations.
Controlled access and on-site parking, reinforcing both convenience and security.

Common and private green areas—together totaling more than 550 m²—enhance the courtyard scheme, support the ground-floor private yards, and contribute to a relaxed, garden-like atmosphere throughout the project.

Market Positioning and Target Segments

Ebony Court Apartments is positioned as a premium low-rise community aimed at two primary customer groups:

Buy‑to‑let investors, focusing on vacation and mid-stay rentals, who value predictable income, professional property management, and a product that can compete effectively in the short-term rental and extended-stay markets.
Second‑home buyers, both local and international, seeking a secure, well-managed coastal residence that can be used for personal enjoyment while still offering capital appreciation and optional rental income.

The commercial strategy centers on pre-sales, supported by targeted international campaigns, partnerships with specialized brokers, and professional property and rental management designed to sustain premium average daily rates (ADR) and healthy occupancy over time.
