Montego Bay, Jamaica — September 14, 2025. Beneath the vast sweep of a Caribbean sky, where sea and mountain seem forever in dialogue, Montego Bay witnessed an event that felt less like a property showing and more like the staging of a dream. Dean Jones, founder of Jamaica Homes and Company, hosted the second Open House for The Pinnacle, a landmark development whose name speaks as much to vision as to height.
The afternoon unfolded with elegance and anticipation. Realtors from Coldwell Banker Jamaica joined developers, investors, prospective buyers, and dignitaries, among them the Mayor of Montego Bay, Vernon. In his remarks, the Mayor praised the project not only for its scale and beauty, but also for its role in reshaping the city — creating jobs, housing, and opportunities for growth.
Towers on the Horizon
The Pinnacle, rising on Jamaica’s north coast, is planned as a quartet of 28-storey towers that will dominate the skyline while remaining in harmony with the natural landscape.
- The Swallowtail: a residential tower of 141 long-term rental units.
- The Canary and The Hummingbird: residences designed as investment properties, already on the market and attracting buyers.
- The Phoenix: a hotel of between 230 and 280 rooms, bringing international hospitality into the heart of the project.
Each tower follows a carefully considered rhythm. Lower floors hold one- to three-bedroom residences; middle floors expand into larger suites; upper levels offer four-bedroom sub-penthouses; and the highest floors crown the towers with five-bedroom penthouses, offering sweeping views of both mountain and sea.
Architecture with Purpose
The development is conceived as more than concrete and glass. Its curving facades mirror the surrounding hills, while terraces and expansive windows frame the Caribbean as part of everyday life. Interiors balance modern design with warmth: marble surfaces, wood accents, and light-filled spaces that blur the line between indoors and outdoors.
A City Reimagined
For Montego Bay, The Pinnacle represents continuity with its history of reinvention. Once a colonial port, later a hub of tourism, the city is now redefining itself as a centre for modern urban living. Mayor Vernon called the project “a cornerstone for sustainable growth,” highlighting its potential to provide employment and strengthen the city’s infrastructure.
The development promises far-reaching benefits for the wider community, including:
- Construction and hospitality jobs.
- A commercial hub with pharmacy, urgent care, market, salon, and nightlife.
- A mini marina with 15 yacht slips, some dedicated to penthouse owners.
- A boat taxi service linking directly to the airport.
The Mangrove Club
At the heart of the project lies The Mangrove Club, a five-storey wellness and leisure complex. From yoga decks with sea views to a saltwater pool shaded by palms, from fine dining to casual bistro spaces, from courts for tennis and pickleball to curated concierge services — the club is designed as both sanctuary and social hub. By night, it becomes a destination in itself, with dining, bars, and entertainment woven into the fabric of the community.
Designed for Resilience
Every aspect of The Pinnacle is planned with modern demands in mind. Residences feature hurricane-grade windows, security systems, fob access, and parking scaled to unit size. Penthouses come with yacht slips, while all homes are tied to a transparent HOA structure. Legal counsel will also be available on-site to ensure transactions are managed seamlessly.
A Landmark in the Making
As guests toured the staged units at the Open House, the atmosphere carried a sense of shared recognition. This was not only about luxury living, but about redefining Montego Bay’s identity. From marble kitchens reflecting the afternoon sun to balconies that opened onto endless sea views, every space invited the imagination to linger.
Dean Jones reminded attendees that the journey has only just begun. “The Pinnacle is more than a development,” he said. “It is a belief in Montego Bay, in Jamaica, and in the future we can build together.”
Toward 2030
With planned completion set for 2030, The Pinnacle is poised to become one of Jamaica’s defining architectural landmarks. As twilight settled over Montego Bay on Sunday evening, the half-built towers caught the fading light, glowing with the promise of what is to come.
For those who attended, the impression was lasting: The Pinnacle is not simply four towers of steel and glass, but a vision of Jamaica’s future — one that reaches upward, outward, and beyond.
