About 500 Young Professional house lots to be allocated at Hauraruni

Just fewer than 500 house lots will be allocated at Hauraruni, along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, Chief Executive Officer of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) Sherwyn Greaves said during a recent site visit to inspect the progress there.

The land has already been cleared and tender documents have been sent out for the access roads and internal infrastructure works. The construction of the houses will commence shortly.

The project, spanning 150 acres of land provided by the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission, is being spearheaded by CHPA, and is one of three major housing development sites earmarked along the Soesdyke Highway. The other are being Silica City and Yarrowkabra.

“The land has already been cleared and we have submitted bids; we have sent out the tender documents for persons to tender…Soon thereafter we will start constructing young professional houses. The aim right now is to build the flat three-bedroom young professional houses. We have close to 500 lots here,” Greaves shared.

The tender closes in three weeks, after which the procurement process will commence. Once this is finished, infrastructure works should commence in December or by the first quarter of 2025.

The aim is to maintain the topography and to utilise the natural resources that are available, according to Greaves.

“We have seen a great interest in Silica City which shows that persons are willing to move away from the coastland and come to these areas, and these areas will no longer be remote areas with the new roads that are coming,” he observed.

“We are doing a new highway that was joining the Hero Highway that will come all the way to Soesdyke, so those infrastructures will make access to these areas much easier,” he added.

The government has allocated an estimated $900 million for the initial phase of this housing development.
