Real estate is often discussed in terms of price per square foot, mortgage rates and land titles. But in truth, real estate is one of the clearest mirrors of a nation’s future. It reflects confidence. It reflects demographic trends. It reflects whether people believe they can build a life somewhere. Recently, in a national address, Jamaica’s leadership highlighted a sobering statistic: since 2018,...

There is something quietly magnificent about a church in Jamaica. Perhaps it is the way it appears at a bend in the road, white against green hillside. Or how zinc roofing shimmers under a punishing midday sun. Sometimes it is nothing more than a modest concrete box with louvre windows and a hand-painted sign. Other times it is a grand, columned structure announcing permanence. For generations,...

In Jamaica, land is not just land. It is legacy. It is struggle. It is Sunday dinner under the ackee tree. It is the zinc fence your father painted every Christmas. It is the hillside lot you swore one day would carry your name on a gate. Real estate here carries weight. And yet, in the middle of that weight, there is a culture that has grown quietly over time — the culture of “shopping...

There is a moment, long before the excavator arrives, when the true character of a development reveals itself. It is not in the clatter of steel.Not in the choreography of masons.Not in the proud unveiling of a finished façade. It is in a sketch. A survey line. A boundary peg tapped into red earth. That is where the story really begins. In Jamaica — where land is layered with history,...

Valentine’s Day is a day steeped in celebration — of connection, of affection, of partnership. In Jamaica, where warmth is as natural as the sunshine and community runs deep like the roots of our yam sticks, Valentine’s Day isn’t just a single moment; it’s a reminder of how love shapes who we are and where we choose to build our lives. But what does Valentine’s Day have to do with real...

Across global markets, real estate service companies have felt the tremor of a new question: will artificial intelligence replace brokers, analysts, valuers and the advisory firms that sit between buyers and sellers? In the United States and Europe, investor nerves have already rattled firms such as CBRE, JLL and Cushman & Wakefield. The theory is simple: if generative AI can write marketing copy,...

There was a time when the office tower was the ultimate symbol of progress. Glass, steel and confidence rising floor by floor into the sky. A statement that work — serious work — happened here. But the mood has shifted. Across global markets, commercial property stocks have wobbled again, this time not because of a virus or a banking collapse, but because of a quieter, more unsettling force:...

The internet has always had its seasons. One month it is action figures; the next it is cinematic headshots; and now, in early 2026, it is caricatures. Scroll through LinkedIn, Instagram, or WhatsApp and you will see them everywhere: stylised portraits of hairdressers surrounded by blow-dryers, chefs framed by copper pans, brokers standing confidently before cartoon skylines of glass and steel. The...

In every season of challenge, Jamaica has shown that she is more than her headlines. She is her people — industrious, adaptive, and determined to build forward rather than backward. As we reflect on the latest labour force data from the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN), one thing is clear: beneath the surface of shifting numbers lies a deeper narrative about work, dignity, ownership, and...

Real estate in Jamaica has always been deeply personal. Before the flyers, before the portals, before the hashtags and highlight reels, property transactions here were built on something older and more human: who you knew, who you trusted, and who would still answer your call after the deal closed. That hasn’t disappeared. What has changed is where those relationships now begin, how they are...
