29 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN MARCH 2020 EDGEWATER DEVELOPMENT LTD . When it comes to smart home technology, Edgewater Development installs a variety of products in new builds that certainly make life easier for tech savvy homeowners - the convenience of controlling everything from your phone or your tablet. “However,” Kris cautions, “it becomes obsolete so quickly. I try to steer my clients into a simpler system that can change with advancements in technology. I still recommend that they hardwire to a central area but I try to dissuade people from spending a lot of money putting hardware in that may be obsolete in five or six years.” Looking ahead, The Meadows development is forecasted to take three or four years to complete. And there are other projects in the wings, maybe some smaller developments with 10 to 20 units at a time. Succession planning is also in the works. According to Kris, “I’m still a Captain with Cayman Airways, flying 737s on a reduced schedule basis. And I’m really trying to bring family into the business, fill them with the knowledge to carry it on, so there’s some way of passing this on to another generation. We are proud to be a family-oriented organization and we try to develop relationships with our clients to treat them as family and friends. We are very passionate about property in the Cayman Islands and with our diverse experience can certainly work with sellers and buyers, alike. Our commitment is to continuously improve the quality of work Edgewater clients have come to expect.”
