Tucked into the peaceful enclave of Leaders Avenue with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and Montego Bay skyline, Ocean One isn’t just a real estate development — it’s a redefinition of luxury living on Jamaica’s North Coast.

Brought to life by visionary developer Michael Grizzle of Grizzle Real Estate Ltd., whose rise has captured the attention of the island’s elite, and the late architectural trailblazer Euhon Darling of Virtuoso Architects, Ocean One offers 26 meticulously designed residences where indoor and outdoor living flow effortlessly.

From smart-building access and a rooftop infinity edge pool to electric scooters and a central atrium with cascading greenery that softens the architectural edge, every detail is intentional — a distinctive fusion of innovation and craftsmanship.

With a two-billion-dollar valuation, eco-conscious footprint, and deep roots in Jamaican legacy, the development promises an unrivalled living experience.

Elevated by design

Ocean One’s façade is more than aesthetic — it’s structural storytelling, defined by precise lines, vertical rhythm, and deliberate geometry. There’s an understated elegance throughout, shaped by warm wood and metal accents that create a sense of movement carrying inward, mirrored in expansive glass, sleek fixtures, and a natural flow between space and light.

Each residence features high-end contemporary finishes and resort-style amenities that converge in a seamless expression of form and function. Bedrooms feel like personal sanctuaries, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking 180-degree views of the ocean and skyline.

Bathrooms echo the same quiet luxury. Clean-lined vanities, frameless mirrors, and glass showers reflect refinement over flash. Neutral palettes and soft textures lend a sense of serenity, as glass doors open to private balconies that welcome sunlight and sea breeze, dissolving the boundary between inside and out.

Perfectly suited for everything from sunset yoga to cocktail evenings, the six-story development boasts a rooftop sun deck, outdoor bar, jacuzzi, state-of-the-art gym, and sky lounge. Other highlights include a main lobby and concierge, two glass-enclosed elevators, 24-hour security, underground parking, keyless entry, and hurricane-rated windows. These all come standard — never upgrades. 

‘Legacy address’ with a view toward tomorrow

Situated within a gated compound just steps from the renowned Doctor’s Cave Beach and the iconic Hip Strip, Ocean One brings together the best of both worlds: privacy and proximity. The building is surrounded by upscale dining, in-bond retailers, luxury accommodations, and some of Jamaica’s top-ranked schools. Premier attractions like Margaritaville, Pier 1, and Lounge 2727 are only moments away.

Positioned in one of Montego Bay’s most coveted neighbourhoods and envisioned with the future in mind, Ocean One ushers in a new era of luxury living in the Caribbean — a sophisticated addition to the city’s evolving residential landscape.

Where design meets sustainability

Far from an afterthought, environmental foresight is embedded in the very blueprint. Through its Go Green initiative, the development combines eco-efficient waste systems, rainwater harvesting, and solar panel solutions to actively reduce its carbon footprint. In partnership with Evergo, it also provides electric vehicle (EV) charging stations — a forward-thinking amenity that enhances convenience and contributes to property appreciation.

A sanctuary of serenity, a statement of style

Every square foot at Ocean One is curated for elevated living. Residences are thoughtfully designed with open floor plans, porcelain tiles, quartz countertops, recessed lighting, and custom-fitted appliances. One-bedroom homes range from 850 to 1,010 square feet, while two-bedroom residences span 1,500 to 1,700 square feet.

At the top, two of the three-bedroom suites are penthouses covering 2,700 square feet on the fifth and sixth floors. On the first level, a limited collection of flagship three-bedroom residences offers 2,000 square feet of interior space, complemented by private yard areas and direct access to the pool and fitness centre.

Sunrises unfold from glass-railed balconies while evenings settle into the stillness of nature’s backdrop. Here, home is a place that breathes, and living moves beyond the walls into open skies, light-filled rooms, and a calm that lingers long after the sun sets.

Ownership reimagined

The development presents an opportunity for those seeking presence, prestige, and long-term investment in one of Jamaica’s most desirable locales. Construction began last year and is expected to be completed by November 2025. Pricing starts at US$385,000 and peaks at around US$1.2 million.

More than a transaction, ownership at this address marks a shift toward sustainability and innovation, rooted in legacy and lasting impact. Guided by a holistic approach, the project balances environmental stewardship and elevated living, ensuring luxury without compromising the planet.

Residents making a permanent move, securing a coastal retreat, or building for the next generation become part of a community united by connection and driven to live beyond conventional limits.
