From the beginning of 1922, H.G. Christie Ltd. has been known as a pioneering force in its field. Sir Harold, along with his brother Frank Holmes Christie, C.B.E., were instrumental in the creation of many of the most celebrated real estate developments in The Bahamas. Which includes Lyford Cay on New Providence, Windermere Island on Eleuthera, Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands, and Hawk’s Nest Cay and Pigeon Cay in Cat Island.
In 1935, Sir Harold played a central role in creating Bahamas Airways, to facilitate travel and communications between Nassau and his beloved Out Islands. Until his death in 1973, Sir Harold, whose work was recognised with a C.B.E. in 1949 and Knighthood in 1964, was a tireless promoter of the many islands that made up his native country.
Following Frank Christie’s death in 1978, his nephew, William McP. (Peter) Christie, J.P., a prominent member of the Bahamas Bar became President of the company.
Today, HG Christie has more than 3,300 listings and is updated daily. It has become a crucial component of the company’s business and is Web 2.0 oriented, featuring Google Maps, downloadable brochures, and virtual property tours.
