phillygirl--your two posts are contradictory, in that El Zafiro is nowhere near Karakter, other than also being on Simpson Bay Beach. But you are correct that Topper is building those units next to El Zafiro, as the sign has his picture on it.
...all of which has nothing to do with whatever is being built next to Karakter.

I have no clue who is building what next to Karakter but I seem to recall a heck of a fuss when Jorritt, the original Karakter owner, was trying to extend his patio area. Wasn’t he made to tear it down because he breached the high water line?

OK, well, I learned something today. Had to google "conflated"... And to 'conflate' this topic further, it actually looked like to me that there had been something started there next to El Zafiro, as of October this year. ...unless I have 'conflated' where Toppers' construction was supposed to be!

This has been conflated.
Toppers empty lot with nothing happening yet is next to El Zafiro
The "construction" next to Karakters is actually where a concrete foundation USED to be, but it appears they are starting something up again. That foundation was there for years and came/went with sand and storm surges. It is where people park for Karakters, between them and Mary's Boon. Several years ago fishermen used to stand next to that foundation/wall and Karakters would cook them up what they caught. The FB post was about construction west of Karakters, toward BSV.

OK, I am going to close this one here, as obviously no one knows the answer to the question. My understanding is that the Nature Foundation had raised a question about a structure being constructed BETWEEN MARY'S BOON AND KARAKTER, probably on the site of what used to be a house from a long time ago, possibly pre-Luis. All of this talk of Drake Residences has nothing to do with the subject of the Nature Foundation's complaint.
