Start of construction of smart-home development in St Kitts delayed
St Kitts and Nevis’ Housing Minister, Dr Geoffrey Hanley, said East Coast Housing Development had delayed the construction of houses in the new smart-home development.
At a press conference yesterday, Hanley explained the delay was done to give the Trinidadian company time to adjust building plans after it received feedback from prospective homeowners following the National Housing Corporation (NHC) Housing Fair on May 18, 2023.
“The feedback I have been receiving is that the houses look good,” Hanley said. “We made some changes based on what the community was saying, and as a result, that would have caused some delays in shipping [materials], but in quick order, we are going to be breaking ground that will showcase other homes.”
Following the fair, it was agreed that the size of the one-bedroom houses would increase from 450 square feet to 592 square feet. The two-bedroom homes will go from 862 square feet to 879 square feet, while the three-bedroom places will increase from 1,200 square feet to 1,288 square feet.
Prices for the one, two and three-bedroom homes remain the same; however, at EC$111,375.00, EC$213,345.00 and EC$297,000.00, respectively.
