The six-storey building being constructed by businessman Rizwan Khan on Duke Street.

The construction of a high-rise building in Duke Street, Kingston by city businessman Rizwan Khan has upset residents of Barrack and Duke streets who are now grappling with damage to their properties and other problems.

Residents close to the construction site say the works have been disturbing the tranquility of their neighbourhood.

The high-rise building would also change the traditional landscape of the street where many colonial-style homes with historical value are located.
