A $2.4 billion Caribbean resort development is actively seeking African investors by offering a unique proposition: a pathway to Grenadian citizenship. The Grenada National Resort, the largest single investment in Grenada’s history, is projected to open in 2027 and is being promoted by Optiva Capital Partners as a prime investment opportunity for Africans seeking global mobility and wealth diversification.

Optiva Capital Partners has announced that the government-approved Grenada National Resort offers investors a route to Grenadian citizenship, which includes visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more than 140 countries, including the UK, Europe, and China.

The project recently marked a significant milestone with its topping-out ceremony, signifying the transition from heavy construction to the delivery phase. The event was attended by Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, Chairman of Investment Migration Grenada Hon. Richard Duncan, government officials, international investors, project developers led by Singapore Hensheng Group Chairman Yuan Fa Lee, and representatives of Wyndham.

Franklin Nechi, Chairman of Optiva Capital Partners, represented African investors at the ceremony, emphasizing the firm’s leadership in investment immigration advisory across the continent. Nechi stated that Optiva currently leads Africa in placing investors into the Grenada National Resort under the country’s Citizenship by Investment Programme. Investors acquire equity in the resort, qualify for citizenship, and are entitled to two weeks’ complimentary stay annually at the resort.

Nechi emphasized the importance of the project as a trusted pathway to credible, asset-backed global opportunities. He noted that the resort project aligns with Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Programme, known for its transparency and global acceptance.

“For Nigerian and African investors, the proposition is clear: participation in a national development project that simultaneously delivers global mobility, wealth preservation, and lifestyle benefits. Optiva’s presence at this milestone reflects a broader shift — African investors are no longer on the margins of global capital flows; they are participants, builders, and stakeholders. By connecting families and entrepreneurs to government-approved projects like the Grenada National Resort, Optiva enables clients to diversify assets, preserve wealth, and secure generational mobility,” Nechi said.

Nechi also stated, “We are number one in Africa when it comes to placing investors into the Grenada National Resort as a pathway to Grenadian citizenship. Our clients will benefit immensely by acquiring a stake in this monumental resort. As shareholders, they are entitled to two weeks’ complimentary stay at the resort every year, while qualifying for Grenadian citizenship that opens access to over 140 countries.”

Optiva Capital Partners describes itself as Africa’s leading investment-immigration and wealth-retention firm, connecting clients to government-approved citizenship, residency, and asset-backed investment programmes across the Caribbean, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
