“Sandbank isn’t just hosting tonight’s event—they own the venue where we stand. That’s a strong opening statement and a clear reflection of who they are: confident, forward-thinking, and deeply invested in Cayman’s future.”

Sandbanks’ Managing Director, Shaun Myers, shared the firm’s compelling story and ambitious vision. With over 75 years of combined professional experience—including more than 20 years in real estate investment—Sandbank Capital is redefining how real estate investment works in the region.

“We’re a dynamic group with deep expertise across finance, legal, and strategic development,” Myers said. “We’ve invested in Costa Rica, Florida, and right here in Cayman.”

Their most recent acquisition, Crown Square, is a testament to their strategy: acquire high-potential properties, enhance them through physical improvements and efficient management, and unlock long-term value.

Myers extended an invitation to attendees to become preferred equity financiers, offering fixed returns and quarterly dividends.

“Our target is US$100 million in assets under management within five years,” he said. “That translates to approximately US$10 million annually in rental income and capital gains.”

A Night to Remember
