A major redevelopment project along the Port of Spain waterfront reached a significant milestone this week with the completion of Phase One, marking a new era for the capital city’s coastal area.
The $120 million initiative includes a modern boardwalk stretching 2 kilometers, enhanced recreational spaces with children’s playgrounds, fitness equipment, and improved access to the harbor. Local businesses are already reporting a 30% increase in foot traffic.
Real estate values in the area have risen by 15% since construction began. The project is expected to create over 500 permanent jobs and attract international cruise ships to the revitalized port facilities.
Phase Two, scheduled to begin next year, will include a maritime museum, waterfront restaurants, and a cultural performance space.
