07 · What the government is investing in
February to April 2026 · Preliminary work
Pilot wells were drilled between February and April 2026 for future water works on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Survey analysis will inform the next stage; this is not a completed public supply for Little Cayman.
Read the announcement ↗2026–2027 · Budget programme
The government’s budget provides for road expansion, maintenance and improvements. These are public programmes, separate from the infrastructure commitments for an individual Oasis development.
Read the announcement ↗February 2026 · Procurement
Government opened a market opportunity for new international submarine cable infrastructure to Grand Cayman, with an option for a Cayman Brac link. Delivery remains subject to the project process.
Read the announcement ↗Announcements describe public plans, not promises of completion or future land values. Status checked September 2026.
08 · Your ownership
Choose online. US$250 paid via Stripe holds your lot for 10 days while you review the documents.
Sign the purchase agreement securely via DocuSign, pay the deposit at exchange and follow the fixed monthly schedule.
After the balance and completion costs are paid, the transfer is completed and your ownership is registered.
Cayman’s government-backed land register records freehold ownership. Ask an independent Cayman attorney to check the title, restrictions and contract, and advise whether to register a caution to protect your interest while you pay.
09 · 12 reasons to own land
Buying land lets you separate the decision to own from the decision to build. Explore the ownership protections, the practical costs and the freedom to plan on your own timeline.
Freehold, or “fee simple”, is ownership without a lease expiry date. On transfer, your name is entered on the government Land Register and title is backed by the Government, subject to the law and registered interests. A copy of the register provides evidence of ownership; Cayman does not use paper deeds, and title insurance is generally not needed.
Oasis lots are surveyed by a government-licensed land surveyor, with permanent concrete boundary markers and numbered brass caps recorded with Lands & Survey. Removing or damaging survey marks is an offence. Have a licensed surveyor identify your lot’s markers before work begins.
There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of Cayman land. Buyers from the US, Canada and elsewhere can own freehold land. Your attorney can explain the taxes, immigration rules and any concessions relevant to you.
Your Cayman attorney can advise on registering a caution against the lot. It records your claimed interest and can restrict dealings with the title under the applicable legal process.
There is no yearly government property-tax bill for holding your land.
There is no general deadline to build, subject to development covenants, planning conditions and any stamp-duty concession you claim. Get several quotes when you are ready and choose the builder, timing and finish that suit you.
The land price and monthly payments are clearly separate from completion costs. Allow for government stamp duty, Oasis’s legal/administration fee and any independent professional advice.
Stamp duty is payable on transfer to the Cayman Islands Government. The standard rate is 7.5% below CI$2 million, and 10% on the full value at or above CI$2 million; concessions can apply. See the worked completion-cost example below.
Your purchase includes architectural drawings. Confirm the designs supplied for your lot and any adaptation or approval costs. Homes must meet Cayman’s applicable building codes and hurricane-resistance requirements.
Review roads, power and water before choosing your lot. Water arrangements differ by island, and infrastructure may be completed or in development. Signature One’s plans include underground power and piped water connections.
You can make the land decision first and obtain construction quotes later. Oasis’s commissioned 2025 research used around US$290 per square foot as an indicative building benchmark; your future quote will depend on your own plans.
The Cayman Islands cover about 264 square kilometres, or 102 square miles. Choose the island and neighbourhood that suit your life, from Grand Cayman’s connections to the quieter Sister Islands.
Pay directly to Oasis under the fixed deposit, term and monthly schedule shown for your lot. Prices are in US dollars. Ownership is registered after the balance and completion costs are paid and the transfer is completed.
A US$250 reservation paid via Stripe holds the lot exclusively for 10 days. It is fully refundable before signing the purchase agreement; once signed, it is credited towards the land price and becomes non-refundable.
More than US$1.086bn
Property sales recorded by CIREBA reached more than US$1.086 billion across 858 transactions in 2025, an all-time record. The first quarter of 2026 followed with US$502 million on 654 sales, with sales value up 60% on the same quarter a year earlier.

Knight Frank, The Wealth Report 2026
Knight Frank's Wealth Report 2026 recorded prime residential prices in the Cayman Islands rising 11.0% during 2025, sixth of the hundred markets it tracks worldwide. That's the established housing market, not building land, and past movement in one is no guide to the other. We sell land; we don't forecast prices.
US-dollar pricing and familiar fee-simple ownership, with title recorded in Cayman’s government-backed register. Building follows Cayman’s own codes.
An English common-law legal system and familiar freehold ownership. All examples are in US dollars; plan for currency exchange and seek advice for your circumstances.
10 · Building your home

Freehold (fee simple) land, registered in your name once your plan is complete.
Architectural drawings come with your lot, so the design stage is already under way.
Choose your builder and your timing. There is no general deadline to start.
A place for winters, for family, or for the years ahead.

Start with the architectural drawings included with your lot and bring in a builder when you are ready.
Hold your lot while life catches up: at retirement, once the children have grown, or whenever the time feels right.
You never have to build at all. Many owners simply hold their freehold (fee simple) lot, with no annual land or property tax to pay.
Subject to any development covenants, planning conditions or stamp-duty concession that apply to your lot. Your listing and purchase agreement set these out.

The website listings show lot details and fixed payment plans. A due diligence pack is available for review; our team can answer questions or provide a personalised proposal if you would like one.
No. Drawings are included, and “Building your home” gives indicative build costs. Building itself is a separate cost; obtain written quotes.
Not on its own. Owning land does not give you the right to live or work in the Cayman Islands. Most visitors from the US, Canada and the UK can stay as tourists, and longer stays are covered by separate residency rules. Ask a Cayman immigration attorney what applies to you.
Your purchase agreement sets out what happens if a payment is late or missed. Read it with your attorney before you sign, and talk to us early if your circumstances change.
Yes. Once title is registered in your name, you can sell it like any other freehold land. If you want to sell or transfer before your plan is complete, the terms in your agreement apply, so ask us first. Land values can go down as well as up.
Oasis sells building land, not finished homes. Many owners secure their lot now and build later using the drawings included with their lot. If you need to move in straight away, a finished home is a different kind of purchase.
We talk through your plans, answer your questions and explain the lots and payment plans that fit. You decide what happens next.
