The Prime Minister says more than 3,500 units will be developed in St. James. 
 
"In Canterbury, we have 86 units under the Community Renewal Programme. They started in February 2025 and they will be ready in August 2026. In Comfort in St. James, again, 180 units under the community renewal project, started June 2025 [and] will be ready in August 2026," he said.
 
Additionally, Estuary Phase 2 in St. James will deliver 936 units. Mr. Holness noted that this is under a joint venture project that started August 2019, and should be ready by March 2026. 
 
"The plan is 9,837 housing units for Trelawny, Westmoreland, Hanover and St. James in total," the Prime Minister disclosed.
