We’ve also started to build some spec houses on the island again, because there are some great locations and the real estate market is actually doing well. A lot of people see it as an opportunity - thinking that maybe the prices are down (which they aren’t), so it might be a good time to invest now.” JPK owns three lots out near the Ritz Carlton, where they’re building small luxury homes for off-island tourists looking for a second or third home.

He adds, “My own house was severely damaged in the hurricane and it will never be finished – unless we ever decide to sell it. Right now, it is our home and a work in progress. Very often if one of my people isn’t working, I’ll send them over to my house to do something. I have relocated our office there, so basically our kitchen is our office now.
