History
editKittitian Hill was founded in 2006 by Val Kempadoo, a Trinidad-based entrepreneur and leader in sustainability. It was funded by the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF) in 2011.[3]
In July 2013, the SIDF sold its stake to Swiss Entrepreneur Patrick Liotard-Vogt making Kittitian Hill a private company.[4][5] This allowed them to invest just a few months later in Christophe Harbor,[6] a marina project based in the south east peninsula.
