Please let me Know the cost and the requirements. i beg you remember us Governments workers do not let go out of our reach. Thank you

To the Matalons:
Why are you building studios in Portmore again? The first set of studios and other homes that WIHCON built in Greater Portmore were just about horrible- tiny boxes built with cheap material and downright unattractive. When I went to view the development back in the 1990′s it was a concrete jungle.
The design of the Bermonde is a marked improvement and comparable with similar housing developments in developed countries. What you should do is offer at least 1 and 2 bedrooms, there is enough land in the vicinity for that to be done. Consider Caribbean Estates and build something with adequate space that people can be proud of owning and please remember to provide some greenery and landscaping around this development, as depicted in the photo above.
August 25th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
I very interested in 2 bedroom unit, prefer detract studio. Where in greater portmore? What is the estimated price?

August 30th, 2011 at 8:15 pm

August 31st, 2011 at 10:35 pm
IT WOULD NICE TO DO A MIXTURE OF 1B/R’S 2B/R’S AND STUDIO SELF CONTAIN FLATS. AND KEEP THE PRICE DOWN AND MAKE THEM AFFORDABLE. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I am interested in two bedroom
September 28th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
I HAVE TAKEN THE SURVEY BUT ONE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THIS PLAN IS THE PRICING! YOU HAVE TO BARE IN MIND THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE THESE HOUSES AVAILABLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE SO THE COST IS A LITTLE HIGH. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A APARTMENT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ANY ADDITIONS AND ALSO THE LOAN OFFERED TO SINGLE APPLICANT BY NHT, BANKS AND BUILDING SOCIETIES DOES MOT COME CLOSE TO YOUR ESTIMATED COST FOR THE STUDIOS. SO I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK BACK ON THE PRICE OF THESE STUDIO APARTMENT.
October 24th, 2011 at 8:57 am
I would like to have a open concept one bedroom apartment but the cost should not be more than four million dollars. i f it is for young people then affordability should be top of the list.
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:23 am
you can have a mixture of one and two b/room units.when pricing pleeeeeaaaaassssee consider that there are persons whom really need somehere to live and not for investments
November 4th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
thats good more home I want one please me at sales time thank
November 4th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
thats good more home I want one please remember me at sales time.
November 7th, 2011 at 5:58 am
I am interesting in buying one of your single studio units when availeble, please consider me.
November 8th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I wld prefer detached units at an afordable price, stated estimated price is a bit steep for a studio apartment but do we have a choice in this tight real estate nightmare?
November 10th, 2011 at 8:19 am
You can also consider a two (2) bedroom unit, due to the fact that some of us are parents and to be in the furture, will there be anything for furture addition, what is the cost?
November 14th, 2011 at 10:04 am
Hi, it would be wonderful for these studios to be detachable so young persons can live in privacy. I appreciate what you will be doing but what I do not understand is why is it that homes, studios, etc are always sold at a price in which a loan offered by NHT cannot cover that cost. I am a young working adult and it troubles me to know that there are many other young persons in the country wanting to apply for a loan and even if they are accepted it still will not cover the expense of purchasing the house or studio. I honestly think that NHT should consider on this.
November 18th, 2011 at 8:33 am
It’s nice to see that we young people are being considered, hopefully the price will reflect same. Please consider me in the bid.
November 18th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
detach unit would be more suitable, so we can expand, if you are not building a 2 bedroom, people need space to grow, one wont be single forever.
November 27th, 2011 at 5:37 am
Mash up that idea. In this time and age young people need two bed rooms that are detached, where they can have expansion option. Please dont build this area in another TIVOLI or BACK A BUSH GHETTO…….
December 4th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
portmore people are middle class and full of class so we dnt want the studios that is all in one i.e the bedroom the kitchen the dinning n bathroom all crammed in one room so please do make the space for theses.we want it gated make it detachable. oh make it tht one person paying NHT can afford one with NHT funds
December 14th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
The proposed construction site is not feasible. I live in 4East and that site is drainage land and to try and smack houses right in the middle there…….no sah, Portmore hot enough without adding more fuel to the fire. The previous housing developments were just done for money as no landscaping or trees were planted. Wicked if you ask me…basically treating people like refugees.
December 18th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
i would be interested in 2 bedroom detached units
December 28th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Has this started as yet?…and how do I go about applying if there are any available? and also wahts the cost for the unit?
December 28th, 2011 at 12:59 pm
At last please make it afforable as promise, a 2 bed room just fine, no confine boxes please.
December 28th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Yes alast, i need one, please make it afordable and 2 bed rooms houses please,no confine boxes.
January 4th, 2012 at 7:39 am
I am interested in the studio units. When will these be ready and who can we contact
January 4th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
Good, However, I would prefer one bedroom detached units.
January 6th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
pity about the type of people who run down good realestate into ghetto.preventing and maintaining the value of the property is most people concern who really want to invest.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
Iam very interested in the home grant. I hope that i will be qualified to get a nice home like this
January 15th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
I am pretty young and i have decided to do this soon so that i will stand a better chance at being qualified for a home of my own. My mother couldnt do it and i know she would be proud if i could.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
I want to be constructive so I must say even though I do not like studios; I would rather a detached studio unit. Nothing semi or attached. People need privacy and space in order to be civilized. Now, developers have to bear in mind that their are single parents out there wanting to own homes as well. If properly conceptualized you can convert a studio into a two bedroom house. I would prefer a flat or if a studio was in keeping with a flat, so you have kitchen and dining and living along with bathroom, essentially and when adding on you could go upstairs for a townhouse effect and install 2-3 bedrooms. Hopefully, we will end up with yard space in the front and back of the premises. To keep costs down, WIHCON could work with the company that uses cost-effective material for the interior of the house, the panelling thing that I read about on one of these sites.
January 24th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to you from the U K, tosee if you can help, we have a plot of land in Portmore lane and are looking at the posibilety of selling.
Thair are people living on part of the land paying a pepercorn rent ,they were lacated thair after the fire in kingston back in the 70s.
I would appreciate your comments please,Kind regards
David
January 27th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Commendation to WIHCON.
However, I would really appreciate a one or two bedroom house at a price that is really affordable to young adults. I am a Government employee, and I am sure you will take into consideration the salary we are getting along with the loans available for a single applicant at NHT.
Is WIHCON planning on doing other projects? I would appreciate all the information.
Thank you
January 30th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I’m so pls to know wihcon is conidering us, i’m ready and waiting to be a buyer in this phase, thanks you.
February 20th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
I am interested in the studio, providing it is detached one bedroom and is not an apartment (St. Catherine- Greater Portmore or Helshire). Thanks.
