Green homes hit the market
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Developers of what is being touted as Jamaica’s “first green residential community” have broken ground for the construction of 114 energy efficient homes in Greendale, St Catherine.
Going by the name Green Village, project manager Paul Soegaard told OBSERVER ONLINE that the phased development will begin later this month and is expected to cost roughly $1 billion. He added that the developers are looking to employ up to 200 individuals to complete the project.
Starting at $7.9 million, the gated community features 48 two-bedroom single family homes, 24 two-bedroom apartments and 42 super studio apartments spanning roughly 930, 717 and 475 square feet respectively.
Amenities of the community include a swimming pool, clubhouse, BBQ, and green area and a play area.
