Lyford Cay is one of the world's most enduring private communities — a finite number of properties, a global waiting list of buyers, and a price band that has moved decisively upward for decades. What the market lacks is not demand. It is developers who can actually deliver here: to the standard the buyers expect, at a cost that leaves room for profit.
That is Ronchalon's edge. We have expertise and provide consulting in every discipline of the build, we know every craftsman, supplier and approval process on the island, and we have already returned over $20 million in realised sales to show for it.
The structure borrows the best of private equity — a modest running fee and a performance share earned only on profit — and pairs it with something no fund can offer: the entire build delivered at cost.
A single running fee on partner capital. It covers the full management of the project — acquisition through sale — with no hidden charges layered beneath it.
Our performance share is earned only when the project sells and only out of profit. If our partners don't win, neither do we.
Every discipline is provided by Ronchalon at cost — no developer's margin, no contractor's markup, no design fees stacked on top. The savings flow straight into partner returns.
Ronchalon invests its own capital alongside its partners in the projects we build. Our money stands where yours does.

The Bahamas levies no income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax. Profit realised on a Bahamian development is, under Bahamian law, yours in full — a structural advantage very few luxury markets in the world can offer.
Combined with US-dollar-pegged currency, English common law and one of the region's most stable governments, the result is a rare thing: an emerging-market return profile inside a blue-chip legal wrapper.
We originate opportunities inside Lyford Cay — often before they reach the market — and underwrite them against real, current buyer demand rather than projections.
Architecture and interiors are conceived together, in the island vernacular the market rewards, by the same team that will stand on site every week until completion.
Construction is managed directly, at cost, with the supplier and craftsman relationships that only come from building here repeatedly. Every dollar saved is a dollar of partner return.
Finished houses are sold into one of the tightest luxury markets in the hemisphere. Capital and profit are distributed; our performance share is taken last, from profit alone.
“We charge like a fund, build like an owner, and invest like a partner.”
We take on a small number of partners per project. If the model interests you, we would be glad to walk you through a current opportunity in person or by call.
