Even as works are ongoing on a total of 210 young professional housing units at La Bonne Intention, East Coast Demerara, plans are underway for the construction of an additional 77 units in the same scheme, according to the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA).

According to Housing and Water Minister, Collin Croal, already nine small contractors have been awarded contracts for the 77 elevated young professional homes. He said that of the two designs, the flat and elevated there is a higher demand for the elevated and as such the Ministry is responding to this demand.
