Jamaica’s plans for a Tourism Supply Logistics Centre as a dedicated special economic zone carry implications for land values, development patterns, and the economic viability of resort corridor property investment.
A live parliamentary dispute over Jamaica’s largest water infrastructure investment has exposed a deeper question: what does reliable water supply mean for land and property values across the island’s western corridor?
England completed approximately 234,000 new homes in the year to March 2023, well below the government’s 300,000 annual target. The persistent undersupply reflects planning delays, financial constraints on development, and a political economy that consistently privileges existing residents over future occupants. For Jamaica, which faces its own structural housing deficit, the UK’s long struggle with supply is instructive.
