The two won by default as the other three bidders did not submit required bidding fees.
Harmony Cove estimates its project (pictured) will cost $970m for the first phase with five hotels containing 5,000 rooms, two PGA golf courses, more than 400 residential units and a private airport along with its casino.
Celebration Jamaica’s project will cost $500m for the first phase and include a hotel, entertainment centre and sports book to accompany the casino.
The projects require 1,000 hotel rooms to be completed and an eventual 2,000-room hotel complex before applying for a casino licence.
