Four 28-storey apartment blocks in the Reading area of Montego Bay St. James will be constructed over the next four years following a ground breaking ceremony for Pinnacle residential development on Saturday.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness broke ground for the construction, which is being spearheaded by LCH Developments.
The prime minister says the project brings a new level of real estate development to the island. He said, the development will cement Jamaica’s brand in the lifestyle segment of the hospitality market.
For his part Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, noted that the project will serve as a response to the call by millennials for developments that incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations.
“We are excited about that because this is creating a new opportunity for that new demographic to embrace Jamaica. The advent of this product also opens a new door in terms of city tourism. Montego Bay has been known to be a resort town, we are taking it now to another dimension,” Mr. Bartlett pointed out.
Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer of LCH Developments, Yangsen Li, said the project marks the start of a brand-new chapter, not just for Jamaica but for the Caribbean.
He pledged that the environment will be protected, assuring that the development will not harm the landscape.
