BMD Holdings Ltd., the former developer of Baha Mar Casino and Hotel, wants to stop the final sale of the casino resort to Hong Kong conglomerate Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE).

BMD Holdings owner Sarkis Izmirlian warned the new Prime Minister Hubert Minnis that he would sue the former administration of Prime Minister Perry Christie on grounds of “state-sponsored discrimination.” Izmirlian said that the Christie administration “had engaged in the wholesale giveaway of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax waivers and concessions that the country could not afford.”

BMD Holdings was the original developer of the project until it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015. The exit led the local government to find a new developer and delayed the launch of the casino project which would have opened to the public in 2014.

BMD Holdings expressed its willingness to reacquire Baha Mar, adding that it is “committed to completing and operating Baha Mar with a full Bahamian workforce and organization.”

Izmirlian hopes so since Minnis had been a vocal critic of the Christie government’s handling of the Baha Mar bankruptcy process. Before becoming the prime minister, Minnis revealed that he planned to “execute a real sale of Baha Mar to a qualified and respectable purchaser.”

A new administration is exactly what BMD Holdings needed to reacquire Baha Mar.
