VIDEO: This is how Downtown, Kingston will look in the future

But in recent years those plans are gradually being manifested with the construction of mini skyscrapers by Digicel, GraceKennedy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The redevelopment of Victoria Pier, which now houses several prominent restaurants, has added to the allure re-emerging. Not to also forget the installation of a floating pier and yesterday’s docking of the Marella Discovery 2 Cruise Ship at Port Royal represent another major statement of intent.

As if that’s not enough, Minister of Industry, Investment, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries Audley Shaw shared a three-dimensional video via his official Twitter page giving a glimpse into the future of Kingston’s waterfront.

Surely this will only serve to whet the appetites of Jamaicans home and abroad, as well as local and foreign business interests.

The future of Downtown, Kingston cannot come soon enough now.
