(L to R): Some Partners of Appleby, Graeme Halkerston, Nicolas Joseph, Sherice Arman, Norman Klein, Bryan Hunter, Simon Raftopoulos, Huw Moses OBE, Carlos de Serpa Pimentel and Richard Addlestone, celebrate the groundbreaking for the new tower.
Huw Moses OBE, Managing Partner of Appleby Cayman, makes a few remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony.
Appleby is pleased to announce the expansion of its Cayman Islands office by the addition of a new 6-storey tower at its Fort Street location. The new Appleby tower, to be completed in the summer of 2012, will bring the firm’s total meeting and office space to 80,000 square feet.
On Wednesday 16 March 2011, a ceremony was held at the Appleby offices to break ground for the development. His Excellency the Governor, Duncan Taylor CBE, other Government officials, project team members and the press joined the Partners of Appleby to celebrate the occasion.
The tower has been architecturally designed to blend into the existing colonial style buildings, Clifton House and Artemis House, and features a modern glass façade front. In addition, the building will be constructed with various green initiatives such as energy-efficient lighting and air conditioning systems as well as water conservation equipment.
Floors one to five will be occupied with a state of the art training room, workspace for several practice groups and business support services. The sixth floor will be home to new conference room facilities and will boast views over the harbour front and George Town. The rooftop terrace will be fitted with an entertainment deck providing panoramic views of the George Town harbour, Heroes’ Square and the new park.
Appleby Managing Partner of the Cayman office, Huw Moses OBE said, “Despite the recession, Appleby has continued to grow and has maintained its position as the world’s largest offshore law firm. Here in the Cayman Islands, Appleby has also experienced positive growth and the expansion of our footprint in George Town will enable us to continue to provide premier offshore legal, fiduciary and administration services to our clients within the Cayman Islands, across all our
jurisdictions and beyond.”
