It is currently 89 percent occupied.“We have different restaurants, sandwich shops, ice cream bars; we have a first-rate supermarket, a pharmacy, so we do have some great anchors, as well.We try to get a good mix and that’s the reason why we do have some spaces available to sell,” says Whitter. Whitter Village has 25 employees, and parent company,Whitter Group, has 63. Recently, the Group sold its stake in the nearby Ironshore Golf and Country Club to another developer who is planning to build a housing estate on the 125-acre plot.“We thought that the golf course was not playing its role and we didn’t think we were getting enough trac- tion in that arena,”Whitter explains.“Housing will bring more energy into the Ironshore area and the shops will be enhanced with the patrons who are going to be building and working in the area.We have a vast amount of land still available and we are business people and visionaries.We know that there will be many other developments that will be done in the future: housing, commercial, offices. So, as the need arises,we will add to the spaces that we have.You have to be timely.Our next development is a housing project next door toWhitter Village and we will continue to add other developments as the need arises.” Angela Whitter is both proud of Whitter Village and optimistic about its future as it moves towards full occupancy.“Whitter Village is a trailblazing development,” she declares; “the construction, the ambience, the layout.
