Positioned at a highly visible junction at the gateway to Rodney Bay, this landmark freehold commercial property offers a rare opportunity in Saint Lucia’s premier tourism and commercial hub.
Located at the intersection of the John Compton Highway and the Gros Islet Highway to Cap Estate, it benefits from exceptional exposure just moments from Rodney Bay Marina, luxury resorts, restaurants, and boutiques.
Currently home to the celebrated Keylargo Italian Restaurant, established in 1989, this 8,400 sq. ft. structure was designed with hospitality and leisure in mind. The architecture balances elegance with function, featuring a full commercial kitchen, authentic brick wood-fired oven, a 40 ft bar, and expansive open-plan dining areas that blend indoor and outdoor experiences. The top floor offers 4,200 sq. ft. of versatile open-plan space with Gerstung wood flooring, perfect for a boutique fitness studio, private event venue, executive offices, or an extension of the dining experience.
Prominent position at the junction of 1 Keylargo Way, La Retraite Road, adjoining the main Castries–Gros Islet corridor, ensuring maximum exposure and accessibility.
The steel structural framework was engineered to accommodate two additional floors, providing a significant vertical development opportunity.
Features include large uninterrupted floor plates, an open-plan upper level (approx. 4,200 sq. ft.), multiple entrances (front and rear), a dedicated access road at the rear of the property, and on-site patio and landscaped exterior areas.
Located in the heart of Rodney Bay’s commercial district, this property is within walking distance to the marina, shops, restaurants, schools, and supermarkets. It offers views of Rodney Bay Marina and surrounding hills and is surrounded by residential, hospitality, and retail activity.
Ideal for a corporate headquarters, medical or wellness centre, boutique hotel conversion, mixed-use commercial/residential redevelopment, educational or training facility, fitness/lifestyle complex, flagship retail showroom, or restaurant or entertainment venue.
Additional features include an architecturally designed insulated roof, hurricane shutters & Caribbean louvred windows, showers and bathroom facilities, a dedicated office and reception area, an outdoor patio and garden space, and full highway frontage with excellent visibility.
This is not merely an operating business — it is a substantial, structurally sound commercial asset with redevelopment upside in one of Saint Lucia’s strongest performing micro-markets.
