Building the Future: How FT Develepment is redefining Sint Maarten
Newsweek US
|March 21, 2025
In Sint Maarten, where turquoise waters meet golden sands, a quiet transformation is reshaping the island's future. Frank and Alexia Teboul, founders and directors of FT Development, are leading this change, blending resilience, ambition, and innovation. For investors, their work—and the island they call home—offers an invitation to imagine the possibilities.

When Hurricane Irma struck in 2017, it left the island in ruins. For the Tebouls, it was a call to rebuild, not just structures, but confidence. “After Irma, rebuilding wasn’t just about construction—it was about restoring belief,” Frank explains. Their answer came in the form of a bold project: two 20-story towers, named Fourteen Towers, which became a symbol of resilience and hope. “We needed to show that Sint Maarten wasn’t just surviving—it was thriving.” Today, they stand as both a landmark and a testament to the strength and vision defining the island’s resurgence.
