The sod was turned on Monday for the construction of the 45-room Lakeside International luxury hotel at Anna Regina, in Region Two.
The project was conceptualized by two overseas-based Guyanese, Dr Dave Sawh and his cousin Rishi Chinapen. Dr Sawh is a general and family physician practising in London, United Kingdom, for the past 20 years while Rishi Chinapen is an aspiring real estate developer based in Queens, New York in the United States. The investors are both excited about the project which they say evokes nostalgic memories.
Attendees at the sod turning included, Minister within the Ministry of Local Government, Anand Persaud; Head of G-Invest, Peter Ramsaroop; the hotel’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Dave Sawh; Mayor of Anna Regina, Rajendra Prabhulall; Regional Chairperson, Vilma De Silva; and President of the Essequibo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Suean Seewnarayan.
