In 1998, the Island Government of Curaçao granted Dekker permission to renovate a derelict quarter of the historic neighbourhood of Otrobanda into a hotel and casino.
In recent years, a large part of Otrobanda has been restored, including the work of Jacob Gelt Dekker.
The view from the apex includes the entire panorama of Punda, Otrobanda, and the Schottegat and is one of the highest vantage point on the island.
