I don't know. He claims his sources are with Royal Palm in SXM. 2020 is ridiculous, let alone 2021..

I got this thing from Jeff Berger this morning, like a special newsletter. I have no idea what's going on with Diamond, but something is, particularly with regard to Royal Palm. That building should be a relatively easy fix. It's ONE building, one roof, not even that big a building, in the scheme of things. And consistently, no one ever sees anyone working there, or hardly anyone.

I counted hard hats mid morning and got to 16. Yes there is a crane but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. There are many more workers and trucks at LaVista. For the size of Flamingo, they need a WHOLE lot more activity!

Here is another post from a recent observer: "You may not see much from the outside but on the inside they will have to build every adjoining wall with concrete cinder blocks ,between each and every unit , the old walls were blown right through. This will make the units stronger and less susceptible to future damage , it take time and planning to gut and redo plumbing and electric the right way , when it's finished it will be the gem of the Caribbean 👍" It's a lot bigger job to do reconstruction than it is to start from ground level. Plus they still need to have all the special order counters etc to be made and shipped in. Then why not level the structure and start over?

Agreed, JD. One could bulldoze the whole thing and start over and save time and money.. Scubaman, I guess you want to believe whatever they say, but there is something going on, that doesn't have anything to do with getting the property open as soon as possible.
