The summer months have started with a buzz- a lot of things are happening on the island and in Barbados Property News. We have properties to buy and rent aplenty, a new development, our annual feature Green Barbados – with single use plastics banned from July, Crop Over looming, and sadly the passing of a newspaper Icon and BPN friend. The new development, The Estates in St George, will appeal to the retirement community and is in the popular parish of St George. Located close to Boarded Hall, extensive work has already started with the site cleared pending roadways prior to construction. Green Barbados is catching on in the island as environmental issues become more and more evident. We certainly need to recycle usable waste and we need garbage to be removed in a timely way. Schools are now involved throughout, as the importance to educate is vital to conserve and preserve. Thanks to Green Globe consultant Lucy Agace for her insightful editorial.
Kadooment Day is always in early August, and the party has started! Crop over is underway and the island comes alive with colour and music. Don’t miss this popular time. Rentals are always available with agents, but what about buying your own piece of the Rock? Sales continue to be excellent value as prices have been pegged for some time. Sadly, Barbados lost a genuine Icon with the passing of Harold Hoyte in late May, the co-founder of Nation Newspaper in 1973, his journalism spanned over 6 decades. It was also with great personal sadness that I recently learned of the untimely death of Kim Lashley from Property Holdings. I have known Kim for decades and I will miss her smile, conversation and professionalism very much. Rest in Peace Harold and Kim.
