Enhancing St. Maarten’s Tourism Hub: Front Street Promenade Development
The development of the Front Street Promenade in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, was part of a larger effort to enhance the island’s commercial and tourism appeal, particularly for cruise ship passengers. Front Street is known for its bustling duty-free shopping, with jewelry, electronics, and luxury items attracting tourists. This promenade connects Front Street to the Boardwalk, which runs parallel to the beach, providing visitors with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
1,460 foot long pier specifically designed for large ships
Commissioned by the government of St. Maarten, and while as a Principal of IHW, Inc., David Perry served as lead master planner and landscape architect for this cruise ship disembarkment entertainment complex. This project was designed to serve as an entry orientation area, shopping and transfer hub for all cruise ship passengers entering the island of St. Maarten, N.A. At build-out, this facility has been designed to facilitate simultaneous dockage of up to four cruise ships.
