As real estate developers, we are engaged in activities ranging from the renovation of existing buildings to the purchase of raw land and the sale of improved land. We are also coordinators of the activities, converting ideas on paper into real property. 

​

Typically, we purchase a tract of land, determine the marketing of the property, develop the building program and design, obtain the necessary approval and financing, build the structure, and lease, manage, and ultimately sell it. 

​

We work with many different counterparts along each step of this process, including architects, engineers, surveyors, inspectors, contractors, leasing agents, and more. While construction is different from real estate development, as developers we are also engaged in construction activities. 

​

As real estate operators, we are engaged in renting, leasing, and managing the residential and commercial properties we’ve developed or bought. We now have a track record of 35 years on Sint Maarten, in which we chose to provide the best conditions in our projects toward the community, government institutions and people at large.

​

We use different entities for each development activity, such as

EFB Properties n.v.: Constituted in 1973. Its current commercial and residential portfolio includes some of the islands best commercial and residential locations and oldest buildings in St Maarten, dating back to 1860, and featuring tenants and institutional clients such as College Financieel Toezicht (CFT) and the representative of the Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs and the representative of the Dutch Ministry of Defense.

Zebec Development n.v.: Constituted in 1991. The company was a developer of specs home in the 90’s and further the chosen entity to develop the Harbour Village project.
