Company Profile

MacLellan & Associates is a full-service, bespoke development and investment advisory firm, established in 1997, servicing the hospitality, tourism and real estate sectors across the Caribbean and Atlantic Islands. The firm specializes in comprehensive development and redevelopment support services, buy- / sell-side representation, work-outs and asset management.

As the largest advisory firm actually based in the region – with consultants located in St. Lucia, Bahamas, St. Maarten and Trinidad – greater focus is placed on direct field research and long-term data collection, primarily through personal contacts and local networking, rather than over‐reliance on desktop research.

MacLellan & Associates’ team bring to the table extensive and diverse expertise, derived from hands-on international management experience at senior levels. That expertise ranges across conceptual and feasibility studies, hotel / resort design, operations analysis and leisure residential sales and marketing to brand / operator search and appointment, project management, expert witness, investment appraisals, transactions and work-outs
