🏠 NHDT West Bay homes to be completed by Christmas

The housing ministry has announced that the new homes in Phase 3 of the West Bay Light House Gardens Project, a National Housing Development Trust (NHDT) project, are expected to be completed and handed over to owners by Christmas. The announcement came during a recent site visit by Minister Jay Ebanks and his team. The government is keen to demonstrate progress in addressing the housing crisis in the Cayman Islands. 🏗️

A housing task force was established earlier this year to address the shortage of affordable housing in the Cayman Islands. However, there have been no updates on its progress. The Light House Gardens Project, which includes 19 new family houses, is aimed specifically at Caymanians who meet the criteria. All NHDT developments are designed for this demographic. The completion of this phase will bring the total number of new homes to 54. The homes, construction of which began last November, were built and financed initially by the government-owned NHDT. 🏡

"At the Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, we recognise the profound importance of home ownership and its positive impact on our communities," said Minister Ebanks. He added that the housing trust had been working diligently to ensure the project meets the highest standards. 🚧
