Brandy Marine International, L.L.C. of Sarasota, FL, has joined an internationally recognized line-up of partners/developers whose brands are synonymous with luxury – Ritz-Carlton, Trump, Troon Golf, Nicklaus Design, PGA Champions Tour and Alta Bella Hotels – at the luxury Cap Cana resort on the spectacular eastern coast of the Dominican Republic.

Brandy Marine in 2008 signed on to manage Marina Cap Cana, a full-service luxury yacht/mega-yacht facility at the multi-million-dollar residential/resort/golf/marina Cap Cana resort.

Planned are 8,500 residences, four luxury hotels, five signature golf courses and a 1,250-slip marina, the largest marina within a 250-mile radius in the Caribbean Sea. Build out of the residences is projected by 2010.

Brandy Marine assumed management of the first phase of 89 slips in the fall of 2008 in time for the peak tourist, yachting and big-game sport-fishing season, December through May. Brandy Marine hired Capt. Andrew G. New, former assistant marina manager at Marina Jack of Sarasota, FL, as General Marina Manager for Marina Cap Cana.

Blomgren, Brandy Marine’s CEO and President. “When completed, the marina will be comparable to the great international destination marinas of the world, including those in Italy, Spain, France, Monaco and Dubai.”

Overlooking the stunning aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea, Cap Cana resort is viewed as the most significant player in the Dominican Republic’s effort to attract tourism and boost the nation’s economy.

Noor y Carlos Slim, una amistad muy poderosa

Ella es la estadounidense Lisa Halaby, de 57 años, más conocida como la reina Noor de Jordania, Él es Carlos Slim, mexicano de 69 años, que ostenta la corona de ser el segundo hombre más rico del mundo: 60.000 millones de dólares, según la revista «Forbes». Ambos son viudos: ella perdió a su marido Hussein de Jordania en 1999, y un mes después fallecía Soumaya Domit, esposa durante 33 años de Slim y madre de sus seis hijos.

Diez años han pasado sin que se supiera nada de su vida afectiva. Sin embargo, en la pasada primavera, el magnate y la soberana sin trono iniciaron una poderosa amistad que, según algunas fuentes, les ha llevado a viajar juntos por muchos países en la más estricta intimidad. Los rumores se dispararon las pasadas Navidades, cuando el ex presidente de los Estados Unidos Bill Clinton y su esposa, Hillary, ofrecieron una cena en su casa de Nueva York a la que acudió la célebre pareja y en la que el millonario se prodigó en atenciones con su regia acompañante. Ambos se fueron juntos con la misma discreción con que llegaron. Semanas antes, la pareja había estado en Madrid, antes de viajar a la estación de esquí de Gstaad y hacer un tour por Italia. A principios de enero, la pareja volvió a reunirse en enero en el selecto Cap Cana (República Dominicana), aunque Slim sólo estuvo dos días, y Noor, cinco.
