Montego Bay Keeps Building

Kingston, Jamaica, 29 June 2026

A new residential development adding 34 apartments to Montego Bay’s housing stock is progressing toward completion, with structural work reaching roof level and internal finishing underway on several units. The project represents the fourth development by its builder, a firm that has built a reputation in the MoBay market for unconventional approaches that have drawn consistent interest from realtors and buyers alike.

A Developer with a Different Approach

Fullon Properties has operated for approximately a decade, during which it has introduced practices that distinguished it in the St James residential market. Among them is a one-deposit down payment plan that reduces the front-loaded financial pressure buyers typically face. The company draws on in-house architectural staff, contracted accountants and close working relationships with engineers, contractors and real estate agents, giving it a more integrated operational model than many smaller private developers.

The architectural firm behind the project has a 30-year track record in Jamaica, with completed work including resort villas, commercial retail premises and institutional buildings. That experience base matters in a market where construction quality, design execution and delivery timelines vary considerably between operators.

Montego Bay’s Housing Context

Montego Bay is not simply a tourism economy. It is a growing urban centre with its own housing demand from local professionals, workers employed in the tourism and logistics sectors, and returning residents. Apartment development in MoBay has accelerated in recent years, driven partly by the expansion of free zone activity and the growth of the BPO sector. Residential supply has struggled to keep pace, and projects like Park 7 Ave contribute directly to closing a gap that pushes rental prices up and stretches household budgets.

What Apartment Construction in MoBay Signals

Development activity in St James, beyond the tourism corridor, reflects the gradual broadening of Jamaica’s residential property market beyond its Kingston and St Andrew core. As infrastructure investment, road access and economic activity extend westward, parishes that were once seen as secondary to the corporate area are beginning to attract sustained developer interest. Each new apartment block adds not only housing units but also the supporting commercial activity, utility demand and community investment that growing urban centres require. The 34 apartments under construction in Montego Bay are, in that context, a small but consistent signal that the city’s residential future is being actively built.
