WHIM ESTATES HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Whim Development Company Limited proposes to construct an 876-unit gated housing community in Old Harbour, St. Catherine, thus creating homes for approximately 3,700 persons. The development will include amenities such as an independent water supply, a water treatment plant, water treatment and storage facilities, a community centre and playing fields and will have provisions for schools and a commercial centre.

Residential units will consist of two designs: a two-bedroom, one-bathroom configuration; and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout. The development will be completed in two stand-alone phases. Phase 1 comprises the construction of 556 housing units, the sewage treatment facility and the Bower's Gully realignment - all to be completed in 24-30 months. Phase 2 will see the completion of 320 housing units in 10-12 months. The project was financed through Jamaica National Bank.
