Perched at the highest point of Providence Hill on 3.24 acres, 88 Water Island is widely regarded as one of--if not the--most extraordinary private residences on Water Island. With commanding views to the East, South, and West over the Caribbean Sea, and St. Thomas to the North, this landmark property offers a rare combination of history, privacy, craftsmanship, and panoramic beauty.Originally selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II as a strategic observation and communications site, the property's iconic three-story steel-reinforced concrete tower remains a defining feature. In the early 2000s, the estate was thoughtfully rebuilt and expanded by renowned Virgin Islands architects John Woods AIA and Jaredian Design Group
