Located in the Middle Keys, Hawks Cay is a sprawling forty acre waterfront resort located on Duck Key. Known for its salt production ponds in the 1800’s, Duck Key was not accessible by vehicle until the 1950s. At that time international financier Brian Newkirk purchased the island and constructed a causeway from the Overseas Highway to Duck Key and initiated the development of the island. As a chain of islands connected by Venetian Style bridges, the islands of Duck Key have canals that provide many opportunities for waterfront views and access.
In 1998 Singh Investors purchased more then sixty acres of the remaining undeveloped land that was part of Hawks Cay Resort. Prior owners of the property had been unsuccessful in implementing a resort expansion program which was needed to make the resort economically viable. Singh worked through the rigorous Development of the Regional Impact Permitting process with the State of Florida and obtained County permitting approval for the resort expansion.
The resulting master plan for The Village at Hawk’s Cay provided for an additional two hundred and ninety-five luxury waterfront vacation villas for the resort. With three distinctive conch style architectural villa designs and single family homes, the resort also features fine restaurants, lagoon style pools, two marinas and access to some of the world’s best scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing.
