Keep in mind, they don't own the property. They just have the right of long lease. The property is still owned by Country Sint Maarten.
Assuming that when you say "the property", you mean "the land".... Like many parcels of land in St Maarten, including some of which where private houses are built.... Long Lease (real name "Erfpacht") is basically the same as ownership as long as you maintain it by paying your due every year.
