Land shortages are the main bottleneck, forcing officials to expand into neighboring Region Three, where 26,000 new lots are set to be developed—with many reserved for Region Four applicants. Meanwhile, within Region Four, the ambitious Silica City project is underway along the Linden-Soesdyke Highway, aiming to become Guyana’s first eco-friendly smart city, housing tens of thousands and tackling climate goals. Phase one homes are already allocated.
