Commercial Park and Orange Park Housing Development

Commercial Park

Background
 
JBM has earmarked a 65 acre lot within the parish of St. Ann, in the Lydford Estate, Golden Grove area for the Development of 

the Commercial Park Complex.  The proposed location is less than five minutes from the North South Highway, approximately 40 minutes to Kingston and 10 minutes into Ocho Rios. This provides easy access to commerce activities. Additionally, there is a great demand for warehouse spaces as well as for Business/Knowledge Process Outsourcing (BPO/KPO)/Technology Park operations. Lydford and Golden Grove also have the fibre optic and telecommunication infrastructure to support operations for a BPO/Technology Park as well as easy access to human resources through an ecosystem of high schools, community colleges, and universities in the parish. 

The proposed project will redefine and enhance the community and support the development of new communities, create sustainable employment opportunities, utilize existing lands and provide increased Commercial Space. The proposed Commercial Park will make available a rentable space
of 272,540 sq. ft., to include the following:
 
• Lot A: BPO/Technology Park – 63,000 sq. ft
• Lot B: 24 Commercial Shops – 28,300 sq. ft.
• Lot C: 31 Mini Warehouses – 53,940 sq. ft.
• Lot D: 10 Medium Warehouses – 30,000 sq. ft.
• Lot E: 5 Large Warehouses – 88,000 sq. ft.
• Lot F: Clubhouse/ Homework Center – 9,300 sq.ft.
 

Orange Park Housing Development (OPHD)

Background

The Housing Development project is intended to develop a new community with homes and interrelated open space and recreation amenities on approximately 150 acres near existing and planned infrastructure, services, and jobs. The development will allow for the construction of 500 affordable housing solutions along with all supporting infrastructure including road network, sewage treatment system, drains, MEP systems, designated green areas, park and recreational facilities.

The size of the proposed lots range from 4000 ft2 (two bedroom units) to 6000 ft2 (three bedroom units), depending on the number of habitable rooms per dwelling.

Current Situation

  • The area slated for housing development is naturally vegetated with trees, grass and shrubbery.
  • The area will require telecommunications and technology infrastructure as the current infrastructure is inadequate to fulfill the demands of the
    proposed development.
  • There are two wells of capacity 500 USGPM (US gallons per minute), with only one in operations currently, however, there’s no infrastructure to
    distribute water to the proposed development sites
