Reuben Brothers and Three Rules Capital filed a master plan for a more than $2 billion development in Puerto Rico with its own private airport and views of the Caribbean Sea.

The project, called Esencia, will include luxury hotel rooms and branded residences at a site on the island’s west coast, according to a statement Thursday. The development will be anchored by hotel operators including the Aman Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Meanwhile, the developers are working with JPMorgan Chase & Co. as the lead bank for financing.
