Case Study – Habacoa

Project Overview

Habacoa is set to become North America’s largest superyacht marina—a landmark $1B development in the Abaco Islands, Bahamas. With 150 berths (including 134 for superyachts over 200 ft), a luxury resort, private villas, and a 25,000 sq ft Zaha Hadid-designed yacht club, it redefines what a destination marina can be.

But before the first foundation was poured, developers needed a way to bring the vision to life—not just on paper, but in 3D. That’s where Bleprint Models stepped in.

The Challenge

Habacoa is vast and multidimensional, combining:

• Deepwater marina infrastructure
• A luxury resort and casino
• Private residential plots
• Preserved green zones

Complex elevation changes and water features

Our task was to create a physical model that accurately communicated this scale, complexity, and balance between luxury and sustainability—all while being presentation-ready for investors, media, and government stakeholders.

Key Features:

• Precision-cut bathymetry to show marina depths and turning basin
• Detailed renderings of docks, piers, resort buildings, and greenery
• Full LED lighting system to simulate day/night ambiance
• Custom acrylic and resin work for realistic water effects
• Integrated zoning colors for residential, service, and public areas
• This model was designed to presented at investor meetings, yacht shows, and exhibitions.

Impact

• Helped secure interest from major investors and yacht fleet partners
• Used in press kits and marketing presentations globally
• Became a centerpiece in showcasing Habacoa’s future at public forums
• Received praise for its realism and storytelling power

Behind the Build

• Scale: 1:750
• Build Time: 6 weeks
• Illumination: Dual-circuit RGB + spotlight zones
• Display use: Permanent installation and transportable version

Habacoa redefines the standard for superyacht marinas in North America—and the Caribbean—by creating a fully integrated, eco-conscious, luxury destination. Major investments in infrastructure, sustainability, crew welfare, and community engagement make it a pioneering blueprint for future coastal developments. Upon opening in early 2027, Habacoa will combine high-end seafront living, state-of-the-art amenities, and environmental resilience into one landmark project.

If you want to build a luxury resort, it will be necessary to raise a suitable amount of capital. In this way, your main objective will be to attract funds to start the project. Convincing interested people to invest in your proposal can often be difficult, but if you have a reliable support with you to speak for you, this will be easier than you think.

An architectural model will be able to reproduce more precisely all the details you want to show to those interested in this business. They can be created at any scale with different surrounding and decoration elements for a strong visual impact, thus being able to provide an image, but also a more accurate size.
