The first phase of works to construct the 13-storey Pasha Global Hotel in Georgetown is officially underway.
The beginning of construction for the hotel that will have up to 500 rooms was marked with a sod- turning ceremony yesterday. The hotel is being constructed by Suriname’s Pasha Global and Blue Bridge Inc.
Lalit Sharma, Blue Bridge Inc project director, said the first phase – which is the construction of 150 rooms – should be completed by 2024 and its second phase – which will see the addition of 350 rooms – by the end of 2025. Sharma says the hotel will become the tallest building in Georgetown and will be able to accommodate 1000 persons at the same time.
