Last week the first 1,000 house lots at the new Moleson Creek Housing Development (Phase 1 and 2) in Region Six were allocated to Berbicians through the ‘Dream Realised’ Housing Drive.
The event, led by Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, and CEO of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Sherwyn Greaves took place at the Classic International Hotel’s parking lot in Corriverton, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
According to Greaves, the Moleson Creek project spans approximately 1,000 acres and is strategically positioned near the future bridge connecting Guyana and Suriname. In addition to residential lots, the area will feature schools, government offices, commercial spaces, and recreational facilities. Greaves added that this model is intended to be replicated across Guyana as part of the government’s broader housing strategy.
Croal reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivering sustainable housing schemes, stating that Moleson Creek will become a “hub for future development.”
He noted that the new development aligns with the government’s strategy to meet rising demand, as Region Six currently has approximately 7,000 pending housing applications. From 2020 to 2024, 1,354 lots have been allocated in the region, significantly exceeding the 383 lots distributed by the previous administration over five years.
Addressing recent developments, the Minister highlighted the government’s $3.2 billion investment in No. 75 and 76 Housing Schemes.
Infrastructure work in these areas is expected to be completed within two months, enabling allottees who have not yet accessed their plots to be able to do so. Additionally, the Ministry is working to ensure allottees are issued ownership documents.
