Exhibit 99.1

Shell Landing Recovering from Katrina

FORT LAUDERDALE,  Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 1, 2005--Azur International, Inc.
(Other OTC:  AZRI.PK - News;  XETRA:  LCN.DE - News), a luxury  residential  and
resort  development  company,  today  announced  that the Shell  Landing  resort
development and golf course survived  hurricane Katrina with minimal damage. The
golf  course  requires  some  moderate  cleanup  of  debris,  and the club house
sustained no damage.  The company is focused on assisting  its employees and has
already met with disaster relief fund representatives.

      Carl Crawford,  President of Azur Shell Landing  Resort,  stated,  "We are
here on the ground and, at a time like this,  most  concerned with helping those
who have been displaced or affected in some way by this  catastrophe.  Utmost in
our minds is our employees'  welfare. We are also working with community leaders
in recovery efforts, while we set about removing debris from Shell Landing."

      Donald H. Goree, Chairman and CEO of Azur International,  added, "This has
been a very  difficult  time  for  all  residents  in the  Gulf  Coast.  We were
fortunate  that,  because Shell Landing sits at a higher coastal  elevation than
the surrounding  areas, we were spared the impact of surging water. In addition,
the gulf marshes on the edge of Shell Landing  served to protect the  property's
vegetation, and the hundred-year-old oaks weathered the storm well."
