Details for a new luxury superyacht marina and residential community designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the largest in North America, have been announced, along with an anticipated 2027 completion date. Slated for the Bahamian South Abaco island, the project will also feature a casino and nightclub from ZHA as part of the development’s "social epicenter," according to a press release from client Habacoa. It will be anchored by the 25,000-square-foot yacht club space, which the firm says is designed to evoke waves and tidal currents.
In terms of sustainability, Habacoa says: "The site’s existing deep-water minimizes disruption to the shoreline and marine habitats, while sustainable construction methods on land will create a majority of the development. Working with marine biologists and local environmental bodies, any corals impacted by construction will be transplanted to vetted locations where they can safely flourish. This commitment extends to energy usage, where the project will have extensive use of solar power."

...and the mega-yachts will run on sunshine. What a bunch of BS
Very elegant. I bet they could design a cool yacht as well
Please, God, no.
I know some people think we shouldn't laugh at orcas sinking yachts. I disagree with those people.
most poetic orca in atlantic
Is there any thing Zaha Hadid's office will not do?
If there's a firm on the planet that needs to recalibrate its moral compass, this is it.
Wait until they market it as an advanced urban design.
Is this the "largest" North American project by Zaha Hadid Architects or the largest luxury superyacht marina and residential community in North America?
Both?
