Part of a larger waterfront revitalization from Pier One to Dead End Beach, the project aims to create a premium tourist experience that showcases Jamaica’s culture and boosts its global appeal. Construction begins September 25 and wraps in eight months — turning this historic site into a shining symbol of Montego Bay’s future.
