The Hartling Group: Stan Hartling

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Stan Hartling, Founder of The Hartling Group, a real estate sales and development firm specializing in luxury Caribbean condominiums and villas. Growing up in Canada, Stan was nurtured with the mindset where there is no such thing as "no" as an answer. He went on to study accounting at Saint Marys in Nova Scotia, where he went on to become a chartered accountant.  Following a liquidation with an accounting firm Stan aided in growing, he attended an off shore tax seminar in Turks & Caicos. Having a vision that no-one has approached on the island, Stan went on to begin the construction of what has introduced tourism as we see it today, to Turks & Caicos. In 1996 Stan purchased an initial beachfront parcel of land on Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, on which he planned to develop a 90-unit condominium resort. The Sands opened in December 1998 and today it is one of the most successful resorts in the region with solid year-over-year revenue growth.  Since then, Stan launched The Palms in 2002, comprising 72 oceanfront luxury two- and three-bedroom suites, complete with two restaurants, a ballroom, boutiques, lobby and reception, as well as a full-service spa. situated on a prime 12-acre site, exceeded $100,000,000 in today's dollars.  In 2016 The Hartling Group introduced The Shore Club on Long Bay. Traditional Barbadian-style, this project features 36 condo units and six magnificent villas within a village-like cluster of low-density buildings, all perfectly designed to offer unsurpassed views, tranquility, and the ultimate in privacy. The amenities include a guest reception, tennis courts, spa and wellness centre, retail boutique, main restaurant, and three swimming pools.
